5. Operating Your Smoker (cont.)
WARNING!
Never attempt to use damaged or obstructed equipment. See your local Liquid Propane dealer for repair.
DISCONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER Turn the smoker burner valves "OFF" and make sure the smoker
is cool. Turn the Liquid Propane cylinder valve "OFF" by turning clockwise until it stops. Detach the regulator assem-
bly from the cylinder valve by turning the quick coupling nut counterclockwise. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the
cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

5.3 Checking for Gas Leak

LEAK TESTING GENERAL: Although gas connections on the smoker are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete leak
test must be performed at the installation site. Before each use, check all gas connections for leaks using the procedures
listed below. If the smell of gas is detected at any time, you should immediately check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING: Make sure all packing materials have been removed from the smoker
Make a solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the
solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the Liquid Propane cylinder is full.

TO TEST
1. Turn the burner valves off.
2. Turn the Liquid Propane cylinder valve counterclockwise to open the valve.
3. Apply the soap solution to all gas fittings. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
4. If a leak is present, immediately turn the gas supply "OFF" and tighten leaky fittings.
5. Turn the gas back "ON" and recheck.
6. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn the gas supply "OFF" and contact customer service at
866-994-6390 or email Grilling@TheFulhamGroup.com
7. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the outdoor
cooking gas appliance being put into operation. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be
used on the smoker. Substitutions will void the warranty.
WARNING!
Do not store smoker indoors unless the cylinder is disconnected. Do not store cylinder in a building, garage, or any other
enclosed area, and keep area, and keep out of reach of children at all times.
INSTALLER FINAL CHECK Maintain specified clearance of 36 inches from combustible materials and construction.
