Check for gas leaks
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.
Note - Since some leak test solutions, including soap and
water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be
rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
Check:
a) Hose to manifold connection. Figure 16 (a).
ƽWARNING: If there is a leak at the hose to manifold
connection, Figure 16 (a), retighten the hose fitting
with a wrench 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
Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
b) Valves to manifold connections. Figure 16 (b).
c) The hose to quick disconnect connection.
Figure 16 (c).
ƽWARNING: If there is a leak at connections b or c,
turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE.
Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
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.
To perform leak checks: Slide back the collar of the quick
disconnect. Push male fitting of the hose into the quick
disconnect, and maintain pressure. Figure 15 (a). Slide
the collar closed. Figure 15 (b). If it does not engage or
lock, repeat procedure. Gas will not flow unless the quick
disconnect is properly engaged.
Turn on gas supply.
