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. Sparks or open flames will
result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious
bodily injury or death and damage to property.
ƽ WARNING: 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 however, you should
recheck all fittings for leaks before using your Weber
®
gas
barbecue. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a
gas fitting.
ƽ WARNING: 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.
Make sure side burner is OFF. Remove valve control knob

disconnect, and maintain pressure(1). Slide the collar
closed(2). If it does not engage or lock, repeat procedure.

ƽ WARNING: If there is a leak at connection(1),
retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for
leaks with soap and water solution.

Gas will not flow unless the quick disconnect is properly
engaged.
Turn on gas supply.
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.
ƽ WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak
checking.
