3. Detach the regulator assembly from the tank
valve by turning the quick coupling nut
counterclockwise.
4. Place the dust cap on the liquid propane
cylinder valve outlet when the cylinder is not in
use. Only install the type of dust cap that is
provided with the cylinder valve. The use of
other caps or plugs may result in propane
leakage.
GENERAL
Although gas connections on the grill are leak
tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness
check must be performed at the installation site.
Before each use check the whole system for leaks
following the procedures listed below.
If the smell of gas is detected at anytime, you
should immediately check the entire system for
leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure all packing materials have been
removed from the grill, including the burner tie-
down straps.
WARNING
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each
use
. Do not use the grill until all connections have
been checked and do not leak.
Do not smoke while leak testing.
Never leak test with an open flame.
Make a solution of one part liquid detergent and
one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush,
or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For the
initial leak test, make sure the liquid propane
cylinder is full.
TO TEST
1. Make sure the control valves are in the “OFF”
position, and turn the gas supply “ON”.
2. Apply the soap solution to all pipe fittings, from
the liquid propane cylinder up to and including
the connections to the burners. Soap bubbles
will appear where a leak is present.
3. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas
supply and tighten leaky fittings.
4. Turn the gas back “ON” and recheck.
5. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the
fittings, turn off the gas supply and contact
customer service at 1-800-554-5799.
Only those parts recommended by the
manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitutions will void the warranty.
GAS FLOW CHECK
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the
factory prior to shipment. However, variations in the
local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust
the burners.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow
tips, excessive noise or lifting.
If any of these conditions exist, first check to see if
the burner is blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs,
etc. If the burners are clear of foreign objects or
debris, please contact customer service at 1-800-
554-5799 for further assistance.
Always check for leaks after every liquid propane
cylinder change.
It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water
near the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray
all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.
Disconnected liquid propane cylinders must have
threaded valve plugs tightly installed, and must not
be stored in a building, garage or any other
enclosed area.
LEAK TESTING
WARNING
Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance
indoor is permissible only if the cylinder is
disconnected and removed from the outdoor
cooking gas appliance.
6. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or
wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior
to the outdoor cooking gas appliance being put
into operation.
