Leak Tesng Instrucons
WARNING! A leak test must be performed annually and each me a cylinder is hooked up or if a
part of the gas system is replaced.
WARNING! Never use an open ame to check for gas leaks. Be certain no sparks or open ames
are in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open ames will result in a re or explosion,
damage to property, serious bodily injury, or death.
