CAUTION
Inspect the gas supply hose before each use. Look
underneath the grill to inspect the hose assembly below the
grill. If there are cuts, damage, excessive abrasion or wear,
replace the hose prior to operating the appliance. During
assembly of the grill and when attaching or replacing the
L. P. gas cylinder, insure that the gas supply hose is free of
kinks and/or damage and is at least three inches away from
hot surfaces such as the grill housing. Use only hose
replacements specified in the parts list.
If you detect a leak:
1.
Turn off the fuel supply. Push in and turn on the control knobs
to release pressure in the hose, then turn the control knobs
back to off.
2.
Wash off soapy solutions with cold water and towel dry.
3.
Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint, or by replacing the
faulty part with a replacement part recommended by Coleman.
DO NOT attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it should become
damaged; the cylinder MUST be replaced.
4.
If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off the gas supply at the
cylinder valve. Remove the cylinder from the grill. Call a gas
appliance serviceman or L.P. gas dealer. DO NOT use grill until
the leak is corrected.
When to test for leaks:
1.
Perform a leak test each time the gas supply cylinder is
connected to the hose end. Leak test anytime a part of the gas
system is replaced.
2.
Perform a leak test at least once each year whether the L.P. gas
supply cylinder has been disconnected or not.
3.
Have a dealer check the cylinder for deterioration after 12
years, according to DOT regulations. Immediately replace the
cylinder if any deterioration is found.
Fixing A Fuel Leak
1. Regularly check the burner venturi tubes for blockage from an
insect nest. Read “Cleaning the Venturi” in the section titled “Care,
Maintenance, and Cleaning”, and also the section titled
“Troubleshooting”.
2. Check that all the burner venturi [H] are set over the valve
outlets [J] correctly. The valve orifice [K] must be inside the
venturi (Fig. 43).
3. Inspect the gas supply hoses before each use. Hoses can
be burned or chafed if they are routed improperly. See that
the hoses have no kinks, sharp bends or tension. Insure
that the hoses are at least 3 inches away from any hot surface.
4. Use only the gas specified.
5. Keep the grill on a level surface.
6. Keep the grease pan empty at start up.
WARNING
Failure to follow these safety steps before using the grill each
time could result in a fire that could be hazardous to you, your
appliance or property. It is especially important to observe
these steps after the grill has been stored, moved or cleaned.
