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.
This will result in a fire or explosion which
can cause serious bodily injury or death
and damage to property.
WARNING: Check for gas leaks every time any gas
fitting is disconnected and reconnected.
You will need: a soap and water solution and a rag or
brush to apply it.
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.
To perform leak checks: Turn test valve to the CLOSED
position. Figure 11. Turn tank valve ON
(counterclockwise). Check for leaks by wetting the
connections with the soap and water solution and
watching for bubbles.
Check the following connections, as shown in figure 11:
a) Test valve to regulator connection.
b) Quick disconnect fitting to LP tank connection.
