LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
Although 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 PERFORM 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. For
the initial leak test, make sure the L.P. cylinder is full.
TO TEST
1. Make sure the control valves are in the “OFF”
position, and turn on the gas supply.
2. Check all connections from the LP gas regulator
and supply valve 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.
3. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas
supply and tighten the leaky fittings.
4. Turn the gas back on and recheck.
5. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the
fittings, turn off the gas supply and contact 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.
GAS FLOW CHECK:
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the
factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the
local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust
the burners. The flames of the burners should be
visually checked.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow
tips, excessive noise or lifting. If any of these
conditions exist, check to see if the air shutter or
burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider
webs, etc. If you have any questions regarding
flame stability, please call customer service 1-800-
913-8999 .
ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS
AFTER EVERY L.P. TANK CHANGE
Check all gas supply fittings for
leaks before each use. It is handy to
keep a spray bottle of soapy water
near the shut-off valve of the gas
supply line. Spray all the fittings.
Bubbles indicate leaks.
