Step 17 Check for gas leaks 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 may result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property. WARNING: 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 re-check all fittings for leaks before using your Weber Genesis Gas Barbecue. Shipping and handling may have loosened or damaged a gas fitting. WARNING: Perform these leak checks even though your grill was dealer or store assembled. You will need: a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it. 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. Make sure all burner control knobs are off. Push down and turn clockwise. To perform leak checks: Open tank valve by turning the tank valve handwheel counterclockwise. Figure 19. Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the soap solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles form or if a bubble grows there is a leak. If there is a leak, turn OFF the gas. Tighten the fitting, turn the gas back on and recheck with the soap solution. Figure 20. WARNING: If a leak persists after tightening the fitting, turn off the gas at the LP tank. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact your dealer. Check: a) Valves to manifold connections. Figure 20 (a). b) Hose to manifold connection. Figure 20 (b). c) The hose to regulator connection and regulator to tank connection. Figure 20 (c). When leak checks are complete, turn gas OFF at the LP tank (close valve by turning clockwise) and rinse connections with water. (a) (b) Figure 20 CD (b) Figure 19 18
