Before Testing - OCI PRO-Performance Series -26BQP 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, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
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. Always check for leaks after every L.P. tank
change.

BEFORE TESTING

Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill. 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 L.P. units, check
with a full cylinder.
Do not smoke while leak testing.
Never leak test with an open flame.
TO TEST
Make sure all control valves are in the "OFF" position. Turn the gas supply on. Check all connections
from the supply line, or L.P. cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Soap bubbles will appear
where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas
on, and recheck. If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your dealer where you purchased
your grill . Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitution can void
the warranty. Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
Disconnected L.P. cylinders must have threaded valve plugs tightly installed, and must not be stored in a build-
ing, 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.
