water solution. Use mild soap and water. Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to components can result.

1.Be sure control knob on regulator is in "OFF" position.

2.Brush soapy solution onto connection between gas cylinder and regulator at (A).

If growing bubbles appear, there is a leak. Retighten connection and repeat steps 1 and 2.

If you cannot stop a leak, remove gas

Acylinder from regulator and check for damaged threads, dirt and debris on

regulator and gas cylinder. Also check to see if anything is obstructing flow of gas at regulator and gas cylinder openings. Remove any obstruction that may be found and repeat leak test. If threads are
