DANGER
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) Hose to manifold connection. Figure 19 (a).
b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 19 (b).
ƽWARNING: If there is a leak at connection (a)
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.
c) Valves to manifold connections. Figure 19 (c).
d) The hose to regulator connection. Figure 19 (d).
ƽWARNING: If there is a leak at connections
(b), (c) or (d), turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE
THE BARBECUE. Contact Weber-Stephen Customer
Service.
When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF
and rinse connections with water.

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: a soap and water solution and a rag or
brush to apply it.
To perform leak checks: open tank valve by turning the
tank valve handwheel counterclockwise. Figure 18.
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.
ƽWARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak checking.
