Checking for GAS Leaks

PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL

mDANGER

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.

mWARNING: The gas connections of your gas grill have been factory tested. We do, however, recommend that you leak check all gas connections before operating your gas grill.

mWARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your grill was dealer or store assembled.

mWARNING: 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 and the burners have been flame-tested.As a safety precaution, however, you should check all fittings for leaks before using your Weber® gas grill. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas fitting.

You will need: A spray bottle or brush or rag and a soap and water solution. (You can make your own soap and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water; or, you can purchase leak check solution in the plumbing section of any hardware store.)

A) Turn gas supply on at source (1).

mWARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak checking.

B)To check for leaks, wet fittings with the soap and water solution, using a spray bottle, brush or rag. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Apply the soap and water solution to the following connections:

a)Regulator hose-to-bulkhead connection (2).

b)Corrugated manifold hose-to-bulkhead connection (3).

c)Corrugated manifold hose-to-manifold connection (4).

d)Side burner hose-to-manifold connection (5).

e)Side burner hose-to-valve connection (6).

mWARNING: If there is a leak at connections (2, 3, 4, 5 or 6), turn off the gas, tighten the fitting with a wrench, and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak persists

after tightening 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. Log onto www.weber.com®.

f)Regulator-to-cylinder connection (7).

g)Regulator hose-to-regulator connection (8).

h)Valves-to-manifold connections (9).

mWARNING: If there is a leak at connections (7, 8, or 9), 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®.

C)When leak checking is complete, turn gas supply off at the source and rinse connections with water.

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.
