Step 9
Set LP fuel scale
You will need: LP tank (empty).
Note - For accuracy, the fuel scale must be set with an
empty tank.
We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the
tanks we receive have differing top collar assemblies.
(The top collar is the metal protective ring around the
valve.) One series of tanks mounts with the valve facing
front. The other tanks mount with the valve facing away
from the fuel scale. These types of tanks are illustrated
in Figure 12.
Loosen the tank lock wing nut. Tighten so the lock is
held up out of the way. Figure 12 (a). Lift and hook the
tank onto the fuel scale. With an empty LP tank, adjust
the fuel scale setting to E with scale setting (top) wing
nut. Figure 12 (b).
CAUTION: Do not remove adjustment wing nut from
tank scale.
After adjusting tank scale, push tank down a couple of
times to check that the tank scale is set on “E”.

Check that items are secured
Note - Although the following items were factory
assembled, check that they have not loosened during
shipping and handling.
Remove the tape from the manifold bracket.
Check that the bracket is securely hooked onto the
frame brace and under the manifold at the center burner
valve. Figure 14.
If it is loose lift the bracket, manifold and cooking box
slightly as a unit and reposition onto the frame brace.

Step 10
Fill LP tank
Note - The LP tank manufacturer is responsible for the
materials, workmanship and performance of the tank. If
the tank has a defect, malfunctions, or you have a
question regarding the tank, call the tank manufacturer's
customer service center. The phone number is on the
warning decal which is permanently attached to the
tank. If the tank manufacturer has not resolved the issue
to your satisfaction, then call Weber-Stephen Products
Co., Customer Service Center.
Take the LP tank to an RV center (or some other source
of LP gas) to fill the tank with 20 pounds of liquid
propane.
WARNING: We recommend that your LP tank be
filled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a qualified
attendant, who fills the tank by weight.
IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
Tell your LP dealer that this is a new LP tank. The air
must be removed from a new LP tank before the initial
filling. Your LP tank dealer is equipped to do this.
CAUTION: If you exchange your LP tank, make sure
you get a similar tank in return. Your LP tank is
equipped with a quick-disconnect valve. Other LP
tanks are not compatible with your barbecue
connection.
The LP tank must be installed, transported and stored in
an upright position. LP tank should not be dropped or
handled roughly.
Never store or transport the LP tank where
temperatures can reach 125° Fahrenheit (too hot to hold
by hand – for example: do not leave the LP tank in a car
on a hot day).
For full instructions on safe handling of LP tanks, see
Section "Safe handling tips for LP gas,” in the Operating
Guide.

Check that the igniter is secure in the frame brace and
has not shifted out of the key hole. Figure 15.
If it is loose, slide the igniter into the rear of the key hole.
Carefully tighten the igniter lock nut with an adjustable
wrench or pliers.
Check that the tank panel tabs are in their slots in the
frame brace. Figure 16.
Check that all the burner valves are off.
Valves are shipped in the OFF position, but you should
check to be sure. Put the knob on each valve. Check by
pushing down and turning clockwise. If they do not turn,
they are off, proceed to the next step. Figure 17.

disconnect, and maintain pressure. Slide the collar
closed. Figure 19 (a). Figure 19 (b) shows the quick
disconnect engaged and various components of the tank

Step 14
Check for gas leaks
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. The burners have
been flame tested. As a safety precaution you should
recheck all fittings for leaks before using your Weber
Gas Barbecue. Shipping and handling may have
loosened or damaged a gas fitting.
WARNING: Perform these leak checks even though
your barbecue was assembled.
You will need: a soap and water solution and a rag or
brush to apply it.
To perform leak checks: open tank valve by turning the
tank valve handwheel counterclockwise. Figure 20.
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. This will result in a fire or
explosion which can cause serious bodily
injury or death and damage to property.
c) Valves to manifold connections. Figure 21 (c).
d) The hose to regulator connection. Figure 21 (d).
WARNING: If there is a leak at c or d, turn OFF the
gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact
Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF at
the source and rinse connections with water.
Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the
soap and water solution and watching for bubbles. If
bubbles form or if a bubble grows there is a leak.
Note - Since some leak test solutions, including soap
and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections
should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak checking.
Check:
a) Hose to manifold connection. Figure 21 (a).
b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 21 (b).
WARNING: If there is a leak at a or b, retighten the
fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap
and water solution.
If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn
OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE.
Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
