Check for GAS Leaks

GAS INSTRUCTIONS

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. Sparks or open ﬂames will result in a ﬁre or explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.

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 however, you should recheck all ﬁttings for leaks before using your Weber® Gas Barbecue. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas ﬁtting.

WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your barbecue was dealer- or shop-assembled.

You will need: a soap-and-water solution, and a rag or brush to apply it.

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. If your grill has a side burner make sure the side burner is off.

To perform leak checks: open cylinder valve by turning the cylinder valve hand-wheel counter-clockwise.

WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak checking.

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.

Check:

1)Hose-to-manifold connection.

WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (1), retighten the ﬁtting with a spanner and recheck for leaks with soap-and- water solution. If a leak persists after retightening the ﬁtting, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site.

2)Regulator-to-cylinder connection.

3)The hose-to-regulator connection.

4)Valves-to-manifold connections.

WARNING: If there is a leak at connections (2), (3) or (4), turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com®.
