CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
ƽ WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every time you
disconnect and reconnect a gas fi tting.
Note: All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks. The
burners have been fl ame-tested. As a safety precaution however, you should recheck
all fi ttings for leaks before using your Weber Gas Barbecue. Shipping and handling may
loosen or damage a gas fi tting.
ƽ WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your barbecue
was dealer or store assembled.
You will need: a soap and water solution, and a rag or brush to apply it.
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.
Make sure side burner is off.
To perform leak checks: open cylinder valve by turning the cylinder valve hand-wheel
counterclockwise.
ƽ WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak checking.
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.
ƽ DANGER
Do not use an open fl ame to check for gas leaks. Be sure
there are no sparks or open fl ames in the area while you
check for leaks. Sparks or open fl ames will result in a fi re or
explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death
and damage to property.
1) Turn the LP cylinder so the opening of the valve is either to the front, side or rear of
the Weber ® gas barbecue. Lift and hook the cylinder onto the fuel gauge.
2) Loosen the cylinder lock wing nut. Swing the cylinder lock down. Tighten the wing
nut.
To Connect the hose to the cylinder:
3) Remove the plastic dust cover from the valve.
4) Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve, clockwise, or to the right.
Hand-tighten only.
Note: This is a new type of connection. It tightens clockwise and will not allow gas to
fl ow unless the connection is tight. The connection requires tightening by hand only.
ƽ WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection.
Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and
could cause a leak.
5) Mix soap and water.
6) Turn on the cylinder valve.
7) Check for leaks by wetting the fi tting with the soap and water solution and watching
for bubbles. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.
If there is a leak, turn off the gas and tighten the fi tting. Turn the gas back on and
recheck with the soap and water solution.
