LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete
gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in
shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the
whole system for leaks following the procedures listed below. If the smell of gas is detected at
anytime you should immediately check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill including the burner tie-down straps.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle,
brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the L.P. cylinder
is full.
TO TEST
1. Make sure the control valves are in the "OFF" position, and turn on the gas supply.
2. Check all connections from the LP gas regulator and supply valve up to and including
the connection to the manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the burners).
Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
3. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply and tighten the leaky fittings.
4. Turn the gas back on and re-check.
5. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn off the gas supply and
contact Customer Service at 1-800-537-8484.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitution will void the warranty. Do not use the grill until all connections have been
checked and do not leak.
