Leak Testing; Checking For Leaks - Tera Gear 13 01 3008TG Assembly Instructions And Owner's Manual

Checking for Leaks

It is important to regularly check your hoses and
connections for leaks. Failure to do so could result in
fire or explosion which could cause property damage,
personal injury or death. This test should be conducted
regularly to ensure that the gas appliance and hose are in
good working order and operates safely.
DANGER: Do not use an open flame to test for leaks.
Do not smoke and be sure there are no sparks or open
flames in the area while you perform the leak test. Sparks
or open flames could result in fire or explosion which
could cause property damage, personal injury or death.
The connections should be leak tested every time you
disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
Burner Connections
1. Make sure the hose connections are securely fastened
to the burner. If your unit was assembled for you,
visually check the connection between the burner
venturi pipe and orifice. Make sure the burner venturi
pipe fits over the orifice.
2. If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the orifice,
please contact Customer Service at 1-800-737-8815
for assistance.
WARNING: Failure to inspect this connection or follow
these instructions could cause fire or explosion which
could cause property damage, personal injury or death.
Ensure that the barbecue is in a well ventilated area.
