Leak Test
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged
or refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Grill must be leak checked outdoors in well-ventilated area,
away from ignition sources such as gas fired or active
electrical appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from
open flames or sparks.
Use a clean paint brush and 50/50 soap and water solution. Use
mild soap and water. s Do not use household cleaning
agents. Damage to gas train components can result.
1. Turn control knob to OFF.
2. Be sure regulator is tightly connected to LP tank.
3. Completely open LP tank valve by turning hand wheel
counter clockwise. If you hear a rushing sound, turn gas off
immediately. There is a major leak at the connection.
Correct before proceeding.
4. Brush soapy solution onto following connections:
• LP tank valve (1) including threaded portion into tank;
• Regulator fitting, face at crimps and vent hole (2).
• Hose (3) and all connections;
• All LP tank welds (LP tank collar, middle and bottom) (4).
5. “If growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP tank
valve immediately. Re-tighten connections and repeat leak
test procedures. If leaks cannot be stopped replace parts.
Order new parts by giving the serial, model number and
name of items needed to the Grill Service Center at
1-800-241-7548.
6. Always close LP tank valve after performing leak test by
turning hand wheel clockwise.
WARNING
If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or
move the LP tank. Contact an LP gas supplier
or your fire department!
LP Tank Exchange
• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing
your empty LP tank through an exchange service. Use only
those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision
fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your tank
only for an OPD safety feature-equipped tank as
described in the "LP Tank" section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright
position during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE
connecting to grill.
Connecting Regulator to the LP Tank
1. Turn control knob OFF.
2. Turn LP tank OFF by turning hand wheel clockwise to a full
stop (A).
3. Remove the protective cap from LP tank valve. Always use
cap and strap supplied with valve.
4. Hold regulator, insert nipple (B) into LP tank valve. Nipple
must be centered in LP tank valve. Hand tighten coupling
nut, holding regulator in a straight line(C) with LP tank
valve so as not to cross thread the connection.
5. Turn coupling nut clockwise to tighten to a full solid stop. The
regulator will seal on the back-check feature in LP tank valve,
resulting in some resistance. An additional one-half to
three quarters turn is required to complete connection.
Tighten by hand only - do not use tools.
Note: If you cannot complete the final connection, disconnect
regulator and repeat steps 4 and 5. If you are still unable
to complete the connection, do not use this valve and
regulator! Call 1-800-241-7548 for a replacement.
6. Follow “Leak Test” instructions on the following page.
