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.
Make sure side burner is off (See LEAK CHECK PREPARATION). Remove valve control knob and screws. Remove porcelain top.
To perform leak checks: Slide back the collar of the quick disconnect (1). Push male
fitting of the hose into the quick disconnect, and maintain pressure. Slide the collar closed (2). If it does not engage or lock, repeat procedure. Gas will not fl ow unless the quick disconnect is properly engaged.
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.
