3.Detach the regulator assembly from the tank valve by turning the quick coupling nut counterclockwise.
4.Place the dust cap on the liquid propane cylinder valve outlet when the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap that is
provided with the cylinder valve. The use of other caps or plugs may result in propane leakage.
LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
Although gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site. Before each use check the whole system for leaks following the procedures listed below.
If the smell of gas is detected at anytime, you should immediately check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure all packing materials have been removed from the grill, including the burner tie- down straps.
WARNING
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each
use. Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
Do not smoke while leak testing.
Never leak test with an open flame.
Make a solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the liquid propane cylinder is full.
TO TEST
1.Make sure the control valves are in the “OFF” position, and turn the gas supply “ON”.
2.Apply the soap solution to all pipe fittings, from the liquid propane cylinder up to and including the connections to the burners. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
3.If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply and tighten leaky fittings.
4.Turn the gas back “ON” and recheck.
5.Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn off the gas supply and contact customer service at
6.If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the outdoor cooking gas appliance being put into operation.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitutions will void the warranty.
GAS FLOW CHECK
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment. However, variations in the local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust the burners.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting.
If any of these conditions exist, first check to see if the burner is blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. If the burners are clear of foreign objects or debris, please contact customer service at
Always check for leaks after every liquid propane cylinder change.
It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the
Disconnected liquid propane cylinders must have threaded valve plugs tightly installed, and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
WARNING
Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoor is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the outdoor cooking gas appliance.
