Inspect the Hose
Routine inspection of the hose is necessary.

or cuts(A). If the hose is found to be damaged in
any way, do not use the grill.
m WARNING: If the hose is found to be damaged in
any way, do not use the grill. Replace using only
WEBER authorized replacement hose.
LeakChecking
What is a Leak Check?
Once the hose is properly connected, it is necessary to
perform a leak check. A leak check is a reliable way to
verify that gas is not escaping after you connect the hose
to the gas supply. The fuel system in your grill features
factory-made connections that have been thoroughly
checked for gas leaks and the burners have been flame-
tested.
WEBER recommends performing a thorough leak check
after assembly, as well as annually. The following fittings
should be tested:
• Where the gas hose connects to the gas supply.
• Where the gas hose connects to the bulkhead.
• Where the bulkhead connects to the corrugated gas line.
Checking for Gas Leaks
1) Wet fittings (A) with a soap and water solution, using a
spray bottle, brush or rag. 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.
2) Turn the gas supply valve on.
3) If bubbles appear there is a leak:
a) If the leak is at the gas supply (B). Turn o the gas.
DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL.
b) If the leak is at any fittings indicated in
illustration (C), re-tighten fitting with a wrench and
recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If
leak persists, turn o the gas. DONOT OPERATE THE
GRILL.
c) If the leak is at any fittings indicated in
illustration (D), turn o the gas. DO NOT OPERATE
THE GRILL.
If a leak is present, contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the contact
information on our website.
4) If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete.
Turn gas supply valve o and rinse connections
withwater.
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.
Disconnect the Hose from the GasSupply
1) Slide the collar back and pull out the plug.
Thisautomatically shuts o the gas.
m DANGER: Do not use a flame to check for gas
leaks. Besure there are no sparks or open flames
in the area while you check for leaks.
