LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
A
lthough 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 following the procedures
listed below. If the smell of gas is detected at
anytime you should immediately check the entire
system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed
from the grill including the burner tie-down straps.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
NEVER LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
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. Fo
r
the initial leak test, make sure the L.P. cylinder is
full.
TO TEST
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF”
position. Turn the gas supply on. Check all
connections from the L.P. cylinder up to and
including the connection to the manifold pipe
assembly (the pipe that goes to the burners). Soap
bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a
leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply,
tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and
recheck. Should the gas continue to leak from any
or all of the fittings, turn off the gas supply, and
contact our customer service at 1-800-913-8999.
Only those parts recommended by the
manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitution will void the warranty. Do not use the
grill until all connections have been checked and do
not leak.

local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust the
burners, the flames of the burners Should be visually
checked.
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use.
It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water nea
r
the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray all the
fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.
Disconnected L.P. cylinders must have threaded valve
plugs tightly installed, and must not be stored in a
building, 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.
