Checking For Leaks - Team Grill PMV06091 User Manual

Checking for Leaks

It is important to do a leak check before lighting this grill, as this will ensure that there are no gas leaks.
All factory-made connections of the hose and regulator have been thoroughly tested to ensure no gas leaks are
present. However, through shipping and handling, certain gas connections may have loosened. As a safety
precaution:
1. Check all connections for gas leaks before using the appliance.
2. Check for gas leaks at the LP cylinder valve after each time the cylinder is replaced or at the NG supply
valve any time the fitting is reconnected.
3. Perform the leak test in a well-ventilated area, away from any heat, open flame or ignition sources. Do
not smoke while checking for gas leaks or anytime you are in the vicinity of the appliance.
4. Never test for gas leaks with a lit match or open flame.
5. Always test for gas leaks outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
How to Test for Leaks
1. Extinguish any open flame or cigarettes in the area.
2. Turn all grill burner control knobs to the "OFF" position.
3. Connect a full LP gas cylinder to the appliance.
4. In a bowl, create a soap solution of 1 part water with 1 part liquid
detergent.
5. Make sure the regulator is tightly connected to the LP gas tank.
6. Slowly turn the hand wheel on LP gas tank counter clockwise,
completely opening the LP gas tank valve.
7. Brush the soap solution over each connection point (including connections to side and rotisserie burners
if applicable).
8. Brush the whole fuel hose and look for cracks or frays.
9. Brush the soapy water on the welds around the LP gas tank, LP gas tank valve and bottom ring of the LP
gas tank.
10. Brush soapy water on the side burner fuel hose and connections.
If bubbles appear anywhere, there is a gas leak. If there is a leak on the connections between the LP gas tank
valve, regulator, fuel hose and LP gas tank, turn the LP gas tank valve "OFF" and tighten the connection. Turn the
LP gas tank valve back "ON" and recheck with the soap and water solution.
If the leak is not on a connection, but on the fuel hose itself, replace the fuel hose. Retest for leaks.
