WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every time

you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.

You will need:  a soap and water solution and a rag or

brush to apply it. 

Note - Since some leaks test solutions, including soap

and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections

should be rinsed with water after checking for 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 will result in a fire or explosion

which can cause serious bodily injury or

death and damage to property.

To perform leak checks: open tank valve by turning the

tank valve handwheel counterclockwise. Figure 29.

WARNING

Make sure all burner control knobs are in

the OFF position, including the side burner,

if the barbecue has a side burner.
