Hose Connection & Leak Checking - Weber GENESIS II LX Ensemble Guide

Hose Connection &
Leak Checking
Connect the Hose to the Gas Supply
A quick-disconnect device connects your grill to
the gas supply. Gas will not flow unless the quick-
disconnect is properly engaged.
1) Check that all burner control knobs are in the off
position. Check by pushing in and turning knobs
clockwise (A).
2) Slide the collar of the quick-disconnect back (B).
3) Push male fitting of the hose into the quick-
disconnect and maintain pressure. Slide the collar
closed (C). If it does not engage or lock, repeat
procedure. Proceed to "CHECKING FOR GAS
LEAKS".
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 fitting where the regulator
connects to the tank should be tested each time a tank
is refilled and reinstalled.
Checking for Gas Leaks
1) Wet fittings shown (D) 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 (E). Turn off the
gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. 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 off 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.
Additional Leak Check Precautions
The fuel system in your grill features other
connections and fittings. These factory-made
connections have been thoroughly checked for gas
leaks and the burners have been flame-tested.
However, it is recommended that a thorough leak
check be performed annually. Instructions for this can
be found online at weber.com.
Disconnect the Hose from the Gas Supply
A quick-disconnect device connects your grill to
the gas supply. Gas will not flow unless the quick-
disconnect is properly engaged.
1) Push the collar back and pull out the plug.
This automatically shuts off the gas.
