Preparing To Use The Grill; What Is A Leak Check?; Checking For Gas Leaks; Removing The Lp Cylinder - Weber Go-Anywhere Owner's Manual

WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK?

The fuel system in your grill features
connections and fittings. A leak
check is a reliable way to make sure
that no gas is escaping from any of
the connections or fittings.
Although all factory-made
connections have been thoroughly
checked for gas leaks, it's important
to perform a leak check before
using your grill for the first time, as
well as anytime you disconnect and
reconnect a fitting and each time you
perform routine maintenance.
m DANGER
Do not use an open flame to check for
gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or
open flames in the area while you check
for leaks. Sparks or open flames will
result in a fire or explosion, which can
cause serious bodily injury or death and
damage to property.
m WARNING: The gas connections of
your gas grill have been factory tested.
We do, however, recommend that you
leak check all gas connections before
operating your gas grill.
m WARNING: Perform these leak checks
even if your grill was dealer or store
assembled.
m WARNING: You should check for gas
leaks every time you disconnect and
reconnect a gas fitting.
NOTE: All factory-made connections have been
thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burner has
been flame-tested. As a safety precaution, however,
you should check all fi ttings for leaks before using your
Weber® gas grill. Shipping and handling may loosen or
damage a gas fi tting.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

Confirm that Grill Is Off
A) Confirm that the cylinder is properly installed. Refer to
"INSTALLING THE LP CYLINDER."
You will need: A spray bottle or brush or rag and a soap-
and-water solution. (You can make your own soap-and-
water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water;
or, you can purchase solution in the plumbing section of
any hardware store.)
B) Make sure regulator control knob is turned off by
pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the OFF
position.
m WARNING: Do not ignite burner when
leak checking.
C) To check for leaks, wet fittings with the soap-and-
water solution, using a spray bottle, brush or rag. If
bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.
Apply the soap-and-water solution to the following
connections:
a) Regulator-to-cylinder connection (1).
m WARNING: If there is a leak at
connection (1), remove the cylinder.
DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Install
a different cylinder and recheck for
leaks with soap-and-water solution.
If a leak persists after installing a
different cylinder, turn off the gas. DO
NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact
the Customer Service Representative
in your area using the contact
information on our web site.

D) When leak checking is complete, turn gas supply off at
the source and rinse connections with water.
NOTE: Since some leak test solutions, including soap and
water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be
rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
m WARNING: Make sure that all parts
are assembled and hardware is fully
tightened before operating the grill.
Your actions, if you fail to follow this
product warning, may cause a fire,
an explosion, or structural failure
resulting in serious personal injury or
death as well as damage to property.
Now you are ready to use your grill.

instructions to remove it.
