STEP 20: TESTING VALVES, HOSE, AND REGU-
LATOR FOR LEAKS
See Figure 27.
Connections on the hose and regulator were tested at the
factory to ensure no gas leaks were present. However, ship-
ping and handling could loosen connections. As a safety
precaution:
Turn all control knobs on the control panel off.
Make sure the regulator is properly connected to the LP
gas cylinder.
To open the cylinder valve: turn handwheel counterclock-
wise.
If you hear a rushing sound, immediately turn off the
cylinder valve. This sound means there is a major leak at
the connection. Correct the problem before proceeding.
Using a clean paint brush and a 50/50 mixture of mild
soap and water, brush soapy solution over all the con-
nections and fittings on the grill.
"Growing" bubbles indicate a leak. Close the cylinder
valve then retighten all connections.
NOTE: If leaks cannot be stopped, do not try to repair.
Call for replacement parts.
If you are not using the grill immediately after the leak test,
close the cylinder valve by turning the valve clockwise).
