3. Detach the regulator assembly from the tank

GENERAL
Although gas connections on the grill are leak
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.
5.
Should the gas continue to leak from any of the
fittings, turn off the gas supply and contact
customer service at 1-800-554-5799.
6.
If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or
wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replace prior
to the outdoor cooking gas appliance being put
into operation.
4. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever
the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust
cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with
the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of propane.
LEAK TESTING
Only those parts recommended by the
manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitutions will void the warranty.
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.
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.
Storage of an outdoor cooking gas
appliance indoor is permissible only if the
cylinder is disconnected and removed from
the outdoor cooking gas appliance.
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.
Cylinder must be stored outdoors out of the reach of
children and must not be stored in a building, garage or
