Check for gas leaks
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
Genesis Gas Barbecue. Shipping and handling may
have loosened or damaged a gas fitting.
ƽWARNING: Perform these leak checks even
though the barbecue was 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 22.
To perform leak checks: open tank valve by turning the
tank valve handwheel counterclockwise. Figure 23.

ƽ DANGER ƽ
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 24 (a).
b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 24 (b).
c) Manifold to side burner hose connection.
Figure 24 (c).
ƽWARNING: If there is a leak at connections a, b or
c, retighten the 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.
d) Side burner hose to side burner connection.
Figure 24 (d).
e) Valves to manifold connections. Figure 24 (e).
f) Hose to regulator connection. Figure 24 (f).
ƽWARNING: If there is a leak at connections d, e or
f, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE

Service.
When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF at
