tested prior to shipment, a complete gas
tightness check must be performed at the
installation site. Before each use 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 all packing materials have been
removed from the grill, including the burner
tie-down straps.
WARNING
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each
.
use
Do not use the grill until all connections have
been checked and do not leak.
Do not smoke while leak testing.
Never leak test with an open flame.
Make a 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 liquid propane cylinder is full.
TO TEST
1.
Make sure the control valves are in the "OFF"
position, and turn the gas supply "ON".
2.
Apply the soap solution to all pipe fittings, from
the liquid propane cylinder up to and including
the connections to the burners. Soap bubbles
will appear where a leak is present.
3.
If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas
supply and tighten leaky fittings.
4.
Turn the gas back "ON" and recheck.

factory prior to shipment. However, variations in
the local gas supply may make it necessary to
adjust the burners.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow
tips, excessive noise or lifting.
If any of these conditions exist, first check to see
if the burner is blocked by dirt, debris, spider
webs, etc. If the burners are clear of foreign
objects or debris, please contact customer
service at 1-800-554-5799 for further assistance.
Always check for leaks after every liquid propane
cylinder change.
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.
