Step 11
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: Slide back the collar of the
quick disconnect. Push male fitting of the hose into the
quick disconnect, and maintain pressure. Figure 17 (a).
Slide the collar closed. Figure 17 (b). If it does not
engage or lock, repeat procedure. Gas will not flow
unless the quick disconnect is properly engaged.
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.
Turn on gas supply.
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.
