LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
,, Although
all gas connections
on the grill are leak-tested
at the factory prior to shipment,
a complete
gas tightness check must be performed
at the installation
site due to possible
mishandling
in shipment or excessive
pressure unknowingly
being applied to the unit.
Periodically
check the whole system for leaks or immediately
check if the smell of gas
is detected,
BEFORE TESTING
1. Make sure that all packing
material is removed
from the grill, including
the burner tie-down
straps.
2. Do not smoke while leak-testing,
3. Never leak-test with an open flame,
4. Make a soapy solution with one part liquid detergent
(or soap) and one part water. Prepare a
spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the connections,
For the initial leak test,
make sure the LP cylinder is full,
5. Grill must be leak-tested
outdoors
in a well-ventilated
area, away from ignition sources such
as gas-fired or electrical appliances
and flammable
materials,
6. Keep grill away from open flames and/or sparks while testing.
TO TEST
1. Make sure all control knobs are in the OFF position.
2. Make sure the regulator is connected
tightly to the LP tank.
3. Completely
open LP tank valve by turning counterclockwise,
If you hear a "POP" sound,
turn gas off IMMEDIATELY because it indicates a heavy leak at the connection,
Call your
gas dealer or fire department,
4. Check every connection
from the LP tank up to and including the connection
to the manifold
pipe assembly
(the pipe that goes to the burner) by brushing or spraying the soapy solution
on the connections,
5. If soap bubbles appear, there is a leak. Turn off LP tank valve IMMEDIATELY and retighten
connections,
Open LP tank valve again and recheck.
6. If leaks cannot be stopped,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR, Call Consumer
Affairs for help,
7. Always close the LP tank valve after leak-testing
by turning clockwise.
Only those parts
recommended
by the manufacturer
should be used on the grill. Substitution
wilt void the
warranty,
Do not use the grill until all connections
have been checked
and do not leak.
