m DANGER
Do not use an open flame to check for
gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or
open flames in the area while you check
for leaks. Sparks or open flames will
result in a fire or explosion, which can
cause serious bodily injury or death and
damage to property.
m WARNING: The gas connections of
your gas grill have been factory tested.
We do, however, recommend that you
leak check all gas connections before
operating your gas grill.
m WARNING: Perform these leak checks
even if your grill was dealer or store
assembled.
m WARNING: You should check for gas
leaks every time you disconnect and
reconnect a gas fitting.
NOTE: All factory-made connections have been
thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burners have
been flame-tested. As a safety precaution, however,
you should check all fittings for leaks before using your
Weber® gas grill. Shipping and handling may loosen or
damage a gas fitting.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
You will need: A spray bottle or brush or rag and a soap
and water solution. (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.)
A) Turn gas supply on at source (1).
m WARNING: Do not ignite burners when
leak checking.
B) To check for leaks, wet fittings with the soap and water
solution, using a spray bottle, brush or rag. If bubbles
form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Apply the
soap and water solution to the following connections:
a) Regulator hose-to-bulkhead connection (2).
b) Corrugated manifold hose-to-bulkhead
connection (3).
c) Corrugated manifold hose-to-manifold
connection (4).
d) Side burner hose-to-manifold connection (5).
e) Side burner hose-to-valve connection (6).
m WARNING: If there is a leak at
connections (2, 3, 4, 5 or 6), turn off the
gas, tighten the fitting with a wrench,
and recheck for leaks with soap and
water solution. If a leak persists
after tightening the fitting, turn off
the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE
GRILL. Contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the
