Portable installation
Limited portability can be afforded to the grill head when mounted on the portable
cart. All grill heads mounted on this portable cart and cabinet model grills so equipped
can be moved about 10 feet away from the main gas supply. Ducane recommends
moving the grill at least two (2) feet from the gas supply and any combustible surfaces.
After the gas supply has been run and checked for leaks in accordance to the assembly
instructions, you are ready to grill. To connect the hose to the gas supply, pull back the
outer fitting, insert the hose fitting all of the way, and release the outer fitting. This
process will produce a gas joint.
Follow special storage instructions located in the Helpful Hints section of this manual
for proper care of your grill and its gas hose.
gas leaks Checks
Before operating your grill, check carefully to be certain that all connections are tight
and there are no gas leaks. Never use a match or flame for leak detection. Use soapy
water or testing solution. Brush the solution on to connection points and look closely
for bubbles indicating escaping gas. If leaks are detected, shut off the main gas supply
valve and securely retighten connections, then repeat the leak test.
m CAUTION: The appliance and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures
in excess of 1/2 psig (14” wc).
m CAUTION: The appliance must be isolated from the gas sup-
ply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (14”
wc).
m WARNING: Never use an open flame when testing for gas
leaks! Use of an open flame may result in serious bodily
injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage
to property.
IMPORTANT
Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/
CGA-B149.1; Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
