Leak Testing Instructions
This must be done before initial use, annually, and whenever any gas components
are replaced or serviced. Do not smoke while performing this test, and remove all
sources of ignition. See Leak Testing Diagram for areas to check. Never conduct a
leak test using fire or flame. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion,
damage to property, serious bodily injury, or death.
Testing a Gas Leak

STOP
Turn on the fuel supply.
Brush or spray a half-and-half solution of liquid soap and water onto all joints and connections of
the regulator, hose, manifolds and valves.
