CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS AFTER
CONNECTING A 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.)
A) Make sure the burner control knob is turned off by
pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( )
position.
B) Turn gas supply on at source.
Identify your regulator type. Follow the instructions for
that regulator.

Move Lever
Move regulator lever to the on position (4) (5) (6).
WARNING: Do not ignite burners 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) Valve-to-regulator hose connection (7).
b) Regulator hose-to-regulator connection (8).
c) Regulator-to-cylinder connection (9).

water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be
rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
Now you are ready to use your barbecue.
