Fixing A Fuel Leak
If you detect a leak:
1.Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint, or by replacing the faulty part with a replacement part recommended by Coleman. DO NOT attempt to repair the cylinder if it should become damaged; the cylinder MUST be replaced.
2.If you are unable to stop a leak, remove the cylinder from the grill. DO NOT use the grill until the leak is corrected.
When to test for leaks:
1.Perform a leak test each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the regulator. Leak test anytime a part of the gas system is replaced.
Start-Up Check List
WARNING
Failure to follow these safety steps before using the grill each time could result in a fire that could be hazardous to you, your appliance or property. It is especially important to observe these steps after the grill has been stored, moved or cleaned.
1. Regularly check the burner venturi tubes for blockage from an insect nest. Read “Cleaning the Venturi” in the section titled “Care, Maintenance, and Cleaning”, and also the section titled “Troubleshooting”.
2. Check that all the burner venturi [A] are set over the valve outlets [B] correctly. The valve orifice [C] must be inside the venturi (Fig. 21).
