Check for gas leaks
Figure 19
ƽ DANGER
Do not use an open flame to check for gas
leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open
flames in the area while you check for
leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion
which can cause serious bodily injury or
death and damage to property.
ƽWARNING: Do not ignite burners while leak checking.
Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the soap
and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles
form or if a bubble grows there is a leak.
Check:
a) Hose to manifold connection. Figure 21 (a).
b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 21 (b).
c) Manifold to side burner hose connection. Figure 21 (c).
ƽWARNING: If there is a leak at connections
a, b or c, retighten the fitting and recheck for leaks
with soap and water solution.
If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn OFF
the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact
your dealer.
d) Side burner hose to side burner connection.
Figure 21 (d).
e) Valves to manifold connections. Figure 21 (e).
f) Hose to regulator connection. Figure 21 (f).
ƽWARNING: If there is a leak at connections
d, e or f, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE
BARBECUE. Contact your dealer.
When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF at
the source and rinse connections with water.

ƽWARNING: You should check for gas leaks every
time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
Note - All factory made connections have been thoroughly
checked for gas leaks. The burners have been flame
tested. As a safety precaution you should recheck all
fittings for leaks before using your Weber Gas Barbecue.
Shipping and handling may have loosened or damaged a
gas fitting.
ƽWARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your
barbecue was dealer or store assembled.
You will need: a soap and water solution and a rag or
brush to apply it.
Note - Since some leaks test solutions, including soap
and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections
should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
Make sure side burner is OFF. Remove valve control knob
and screws. Remove porcelain top. Figure 19.
