Leak Testing:
1. GENERAL:
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness
check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure
unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the
smell of gas is detected.
2. BEFORE TESTING:
a) Make sure that all packing materials are removed from the grill and cart.
b) Do not smoke while leak testing.
c) Never leak test with an open flame.
d) Make a soap solution with one part liquid detergent and one part water. Prepare a spray bottle, brush, or rag
to apply the solution to the connections. For the initial leak test, make sure the propane cylinder is full.
e) Grill must be leak tested outdoors in well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired or
electrical appliances, and flammable materials.
3. TESTING PROCEDURES:
a) Make sure all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
b) Make sure the regulator is connected to the propane cylinder tightly.
c) Completely open propane cylinder valve by turning counter clockwise. If you hear a “POP”sound, turn gas off
IMMEDIATELY, it indicates a heavy leak at the connection. Call your gas dealer or fire department.
d) Check every connection from the propane cylinder or natural gas quick release, up to and including the
connection to the manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the burner) by brushing or spraying the soapy
solution on the connections.
e) If soap bubbles appear, there is a leak. Turn off propane cylinder valve or natural gas quick release
IMMEDIATELY and retighten connections, Open valve again, and recheck.
f) Always close the propane cylinder valve after leak test by turning clockwise.
g) Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitution can void the
warranty. Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
4. LEAK TEST SAFETY TIPS:
a) Always check for leaks after every propane cylinder change.
b) Always check for leaks at every connection before use.(Including natural gas quick release hook up)
c) If any grease or hot items fall on the valve, regulator, hose or any part that conveys gas, shut the gas off
immediately, check the cause and rectify it. Then, perform a complete leak test before reusing the grill.
