SAFETY
LEAK TESTING
Perform a “Leak Test”
•
Before lighting your barbecue for the first time.
•
Every time the cylinder is refilled, or any component is replaced.
•
At least once every year, preferably at the start of the season.
The “Leak Test” must be done outdoors, away from heat, open flames and flammable liquids.
Do not smoke while performing the test. Use only a mixture of 50/50 liquid soap and water
for leak testing. Never use a match or open flame.
The Following Must Be Checked
•
The tank valve including the threads into the tank (Drawing C).
•
All tank welds (Drawing B).
•
Regulator fittings and tank connections (Drawing C).
•
All hose connections (Drawing D).
•
With a newly filled and tested propane tank attached to the
barbecue and all the barbecue controls turned “OFF”, slowly open
the cylinder valve one full turn.
•
Using a brush and soap, soak all the connections and components
listed above and shown in drawings B, C, D.
•
Look carefully for bubbles forming, which is an indication of leaking gas.
•
Tighten the connections at the bubbled areas until re-testing shows no
indication of any leaks (shut off cylinder while correcting any leaks).
•
Shut off the cylinder valve and ensure all control valves are off.
•
Do not use the barbecue if any leaks cannot be stopped. Turn off the
gas cylinder valve, remove the gas cylinder and seek assistance from
a qualified gas appliance service mechanic or gas dealer.
