Fixing A Fuel Leak
If you detect a leak:
1.Turn off the fuel supply. Turn on the control knobs to release pressure in the hose, then turn the control knobs back to off.
2.Wash off soapy solutions with cold water and towel dry.
3.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 valve if it should become damaged; the cylinder MUST be replaced.
4.If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off the gas supply at the cylinder valve. Remove the cylinder from the stove. Call a gas appliance serviceman or L.P. gas dealer. DO NOT use stove 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 hose end. Leak test anytime a part of the gas system is replaced.
2.Perform a leak test at least once each year whether the L.P. gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not.
3.Have a dealer check the cylinder for deterioration after 12 years, according to DOT regulations. Immediately replace the cylinder if any deterioration is found.
CAUTION
Inspect the gas supply hose before each use. If there are cuts, damage, excessive abrasion or wear, replace the hose prior to operating the appliance. During assembly of the stove and when attaching or replacing the L. P. gas cylinder, insure that the gas supply hose is free of kinks and/or damage and is at least three inches away from hot surfaces such as the stove housing. Use only hose replacements specified in the parts list.
