CHECK FOR LEAKS

CAUTION: Strong odors, colds, sinus congestion, etc. may prevent the detection of propane by smell. Use caution
and common sense when testing for leaks.
Note: The leak test must be performed in an area that is quiet, out of wind, and has adequate lighting in order to see if
bubbles are developing or so larger leaks can be detected by smell or sound.
1. Create a mixture 50% water and 50% liquid dish washing soap.
2. Open the lid.
3. Ensure all control knobs are set to the "OFF" position.
4. Turn on the gas at the cylinder valve. Turn the cylinder valve knob counter-clockwise to fully open. If you hear a rushing sound or
smell gas, turn the gas off. Tighten an leaking connections. If leak is detected at connection nut and tightening does not stop leak,
re-inspect propane tank rubber seal.
5. Apply the soapy water mixture to the following:
• Supply tank (cylinder) welds
• Connection nut to tank valve
• Back side of connection nut to brass nipple
• Brass nipple connection into regulator
• Tank valve to cylinder
• Regulator connections to gas supply hose
6. Check each place listed for bubbles, which indicates a leak. Large leaks may not be
detected by bubbles but should produce a rushing sound or gas smell.
7. Turn off gas supply at cylinder valve.
8. Turn on control knobs to release gas pressure in hose.
9. Turn control knobs to "OFF" position.
10. Tighten any leaking connections. If leak is detected at connection nut and tightening does not stop leak, re-inspect propane tank
rubber seal.
11. Repeat soapy water test until no leaks are detected.
12. Turn off gas supply at cylinder valve until you are ready to use your grill.
13. Wash off soapy residue with cold water and towel dry.
14. Wait 5 minutes to allow all gas to evacuate the area before lighting grill.
WARNING: DO NOT use the grill if leaks cannot be stopped. Contact a qualified gas appliance repair service.
