Step 1
Make sure the propane tank valve and “T
„
valve are turned
OFF.
Step 2
Make sure male SAE fitting is properly attached to air
shutter (refer to Assembly Instructions). Attach Type 1
connector to tank and hand tighten by turning
CLOCKWISE.
Step 3
Prepare a soapy water solution (one part dishwashing liquid
to three parts water) to test for gas leaks in the hose and
connections. Apply a generous amount of the soapy mixture
to the regulator, Type 1 connector, “T
„
valve, the entire length
of hose and SAE fitting (located near the air shutter).
Step 4
With the “T
„
valve in the “OFF” position, open the propane
tank valve two full turns (counter-clockwise). Next, open the
“T
„
valve fully and check for bubbles at control valve, along
the entire length of hose and at the SAE fitting. DO NOT
LEAVE GAS ON FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS. If soapy
mixture starts bubbling, gas is leaking through the
connection or hose. Turn the propane tank valve OFF and
retighten the connection that is leaking gas. Repeat
procedure with soapy mixture until gas no longer leaks.
NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS. Turn the
propane tank valve OFF after each test.
Step 5
Once all gas leaks have been sealed, WAIT AT LEAST 5
MINUTES FOR GAS FUMES TO DISSIPATE BEFORE
LIGHTING THE BURNER.
GAS LEAK TESTING
THE GAS LEAK TESTING PROCEDURE MUST BE PERFORMED
EVERY TIME THE TANK IS CONNECTED TO COOKER.
WARNING
• Gas leak testing must be performed outdoors in a well ventilated area.
• During the gas leak testing procedure, always keep unit away from open flames, sparks or lit
cigarettes.
• Never use a flame to check for gas leaks.
• If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the propane tank valve and “T
„
valve off
immediately. Always wait at least 5 minutes for gas fumes to dissipate before repeating procedure.
• Always use the propane tank valve to turn the unit ON and OFF. The “T
„
valve is used to adjust the
flame ONLY.
• Never use a unit that has a gas leak. Contact The Brinkmann Corporation’s Customer Service
Department for replacement parts at 1-800-527-0717.
