Disconnecting the LP Gas Tank
1. Turn all grill control knobs to the "off" position.
2. Turn the LP tank valve to the "off/closed" position (turn clockwise until it stops).
3. Detach the regulator assembly from tank valve by turning the quick coupling nut
counterclockwise.
4. Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install
the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve, as other
types of caps or plugs may result in gas leakage.
Checking for Leaks
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, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
Important Leak Testing Guidelines
1. Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill, including the burner tie-down
straps.
2. Do not smoke while leak testing.
3. Never leak test with an open flame.
4. Make a soap solution using one part liquid detergent and one part water. Use a spray bottle,
brush, or rag to apply the solution to the connections. For the initial leak test, make sure the LP
cylinder is full.
5. The grill must be leak tested outdoors in well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such
as gas-fired or electrical appliances, and flammable materials.
6. Keep the grill away from open flames and/or sparks while testing.
Checking for Leaks
1. Make sure all control knobs are in the "off" position.
2. Make sure the regulator is connected to the LP tank tightly.
3. Completely open the LP tank valve by turning it counterclockwise. If you hear a "POP" sound,
turn the gas off IMMEDIATELY, as this sound indicates a heavy leak at the connection. Call your
LP gas dealer or fire department.
4. Check every connection from the LP tank up to and including the connection to the manifold
pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the burner) by brushing or spraying the soapy solution on
the connections.
5. If soap bubbles appear, there is a leak. Turn off the LP tank valve IMMEDIATELY and retighten
connections. Then, re-open the LP tank valve again, and recheck.
6. If leaks cannot be stopped, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR. Contact your local LP gas supplier
or Team Grill customer service for help.
7. Always close the LP tank valve after testing for leaks by turning the valve clockwise.
8. Only use parts recommended by Team Grill on the grill. Part substitutions will void the warranty.
Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
Additional Safety Tips
1. ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY LP TANK CHANGE.
2. ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS ON EVERY CONNECTION BEFORE EACH USE.
3. USE LONG BBQ TOOLS TO AVOID BURNS.
