Check for gas leaks

Note - All factory-made connections have been thoroughly
checked for gas leaks. The burners have been flame-
tested. As a safety precaution however, you should
recheck all fittings for leaks before using your Weber Gas
Barbecue. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a
gas fitting.
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(1). Slide the collar
closed(2). If it does not engage or lock, repeat procedure.
Gas will not flow unless the quick disconnect is properly
engaged.

Turn on gas supply.
ƽWARNING: Do not ignite burners while checking for
leaks.
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.
