Leak Testing - The Source 730-0274 Use And Care Manual

GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak
tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete
gas tightness check must be performed at the
installation site due to possible mishandling in
shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being
applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole
system for leaks following the procedures listed
below. If the smell of gas is detected at anytime you
should immediately check the entire system for
leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed from
the grill including the burner tie-down straps.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
NEVER LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and
one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or
rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial
leak test, make sure the L.P. cylinder is full.
TO TEST
Make sure all control valves are in the "OFF" position.
Turn the gas supply on. Check all connections from
the L.P. cylinder up to and including the connection to
the manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the
burners). Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is
present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the
gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on,
and recheck. Should the gas continue to leak from
any or all of the fittings, turn off the gas supply, and
contact our customer service at 1-800-913-8999.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer
should be used on the grill. Substitution will void the
warranty. Do not use the grill until all connections
have been checked and do not leak.
GAS FLOW CHECK:
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory
prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas
supply may make it necessary to adjust the burners,
the flames of the burners should be visually
checked.

LEAK TESTING

.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow
tips, excessive noise or lifting. If any of these
conditions exist, check to see if the air shutter or
burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider
webs, etc. If you have any questions regarding
flame stability, please call customer service at
1-800-913-8999
ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY
LP TANK CHANGE
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each
use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy
water near the shut-off valve of the gas supply
line. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.
Disconnected L.P. cylinders must have threaded
valve plugs tightly installed, and must not be
stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed
area.
The gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder
when the unit is not in use.
If the appliance is stored indoors the cylinder
must be disconnected and removed from the
appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a
well-ventilated area out of the reach of children.
