Check for gas leaks
ƽWARNING: 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. The burners have
been flame tested. As a safety precaution you should
recheck all fittings for leaks before using your Weber
Gas Barbecue. Shipping and handling may have
loosened or damaged a gas fitting.
ƽWARNING: Perform these leak checks even if
your barbecue was dealer or store assembled.
You will need: soap and water solution and a rag or
brush to apply it.
Make sure side burner is OFF. Remove valve control
knob and screws. Remove porcelain top.
Put the FlameCheck button on the FlameCheck valve.
To perform leak checks: Turn ON gas supply.
When checking for gas leaks, push the FlameCheck
button down and hold down until leak checking is
complete. This will allow gas to fill the hoses and
manifold. Figure 26.
ƽ DANGER ƽ
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. This will result in a fire or explosion
which can cause serious bodily injury or
death and damage to property.
Check:
a) Barbecue gas supply line to FlameCheck valve
connection. Figure 27 (a).
b) Manifold to side burner hose connection.
Figure 27 (b).
c) Barbecue gas supply line to natural gas supply
connection. Figure 27 (c).
ƽWARNING: If there is a leak at connections a, b or
c, retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for
leaks with soap and water solution.
If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn
OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE.
Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
d) Valves to manifold connections. Figure 27 (d).
e) Side burner hose to side burner connection.
Figure 27 (e).
ƽWARNING: If there is a leak at connections d or e,
turn OFF the gas. DO NO
T OPERATE THE
BARBECUE. Contact Weber-Stephen Customer
Service.
When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF
and rinse connections with water.
ƽWARNING: Do
not ignite burners while leak
checking.
Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the
soap and water solution and watching for bubbles. If
bubbles form or if a bubble grows there is a leak.
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.
