PREPARING TO USE YOUR BARBECUE
WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK?
The fuel system in your
barbecue features
connections and fittings. A
leak check is a reliable way
to make sure that no gas
is escaping from any of the
connections or fittings.
Although all factory-made
connections have been
thoroughly checked for
gas leaks, it’s important to
perform a leak check before
using your barbecue for the
first time, as well as anytime
you disconnect and reconnect
a fitting and each time you
perform routine maintenance.
m 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.
m WARNING: The gas connections
of your gas barbecue have been
factory-tested. We do, however,
recommend that you leak-check all gas
connections before operating your gas
barbecue.
m WARNING: Perform these leak checks
even if your barbecue was dealer- or
store-assembled.
m 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 and the burners have
been flame-tested. As a safety precaution, however,
you should check all fittings for leaks before using your
Weber® gas barbecue. Shipping and handling may
loosen or damage a gas fitting.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
You will need: A spray bottle or brush or rag and a soap
and water solution. (You can make your own soap and
water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water;
or, you can purchase leak check solution in the plumbing
section of any hardware store.)
A) Make sure ALL burner control knobs are turned off.
Check by pushing burner control knobs in and turning
them clockwise until they stop.
B) Turn gas supply on at source.
Identify your regulator type. Follow the instructions for
that regulator.
Turn Valve
Turn cylinder valve anti-clockwise (1) (2) (3).
Move Lever
Move regulator lever to the on position (4) (5) (6).
m WARNING: Do not ignite burners when
leak-checking.
