LEAK TEST PROCEDURE
NOTE: The leak test must be performed in an area that has adequate lighting in order to see if bubbles are
developing and not in a windy or noisy area so larger leaks can be detected by smell or sound.
WARNING
Never use your barbecue without leak testing all gas connections, hoses and propane tank.
DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard:
• DO NOT smoke or permit ignition sources in the area while conducting a leak test.
• Perform test OUTDOORS in a well ventilated area that is protected from the wind.
• Never perform a leak test with a match or open flame.
• Never perform a leak test while the barbecue is in use or while barbecue is still hot.
When to perform a leak test:
• After assembling your barbecue and before lighting for the first time, even if purchased fully
assembled.
• Every time LP gas cylinder is refilled, exchanged or if any of the gas components are
disconnected or replaced.
• Any time your barbecue has been moved.
• At least once per year or if your barbecue has not been used for more than 60 days.
Checking for leaks:
WARNING
If you hear a rushing sound or smell gas, turn gas o. Tighten any
leaking connections. If leak is detected at connection nut and
tightening does not stop leak, reinspect propane tank rubber seal.
WARNING
DO NOT use grill if leaks cannot be stopped. Contact customer
hotline at 1-800-275-4617.
