What is a Leak Check?
Once the hose is properly connected, it is necessary
to perform a leak check. A leak check is a reliable way
to verify that gas is not escaping after you connect the
hose to the gas supply.
Checking for Gas Leaks
1) Wet fittings shown (D) with a soap and water
solution, using a spray bottle, brush or rag. You
can make your own soap and water solution by
mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water; or, you
can purchase leak check solution in the plumbing
section of any hardware store.
2) Turn the gas supply valve on.
3) If bubbles appear there is a leak (E). Turn o the
gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the
Customer Service Representative in your area
using the contact information on our website.
4) If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete.
Turn gas supply valve o and rinse connections
withwater.
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.
Additional Leak Check Precautions
The fuel system in your grill features other
connections and fittings. These factory-made
connections have been thoroughly checked for gas
leaks and the burners have been flame-tested.
Weber recommends performing an additional
thorough leak check after assembly, as well as
annually. Instructions for this can be found online at
weber.com.
Disconnect the Hose from the GasSupply
1) Slide the collar back and pull out the plug.
Thisautomatically shuts o the gas.
m DANGER: Do not use a flame to check for gas
leaks. Besure there are no sparks or open
flames in the area while you check for leaks.
m DANGER: Leaking gas may cause a fire or
explosion.
m DANGER: Do not operate the grill if there is a
gas leak present.
