PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL
m 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.
Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or
explosion, which can cause serious bodily
injury or death and damage to property.
m WARNING: The gas connections of your
gas grill have been factory tested. We do,
however, recommend that you leak check
all gas connections before operating your
gas grill.
m WARNING: Perform these leak checks
even if your grill was dealer or store
assembled.
m 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 and the burners have been flame-
tested. As a safety precaution, however, you should check all
fittings for leaks before using your WEBER gas grill. Shipping
and handling may loosen or damage a gas fitting.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
You will need: A spray bottle or brush or rag and a soap and
water solution. (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.)
A) Turn gas supply off at source.
B) Check that
ALL burner control knobs are in the off ( )
position (1) . Burner control knobs are shipped in the off
( ) position, but you should check to be sure that they
are turned off. Check by pushing burner control knobs
in and turning them clockwise. If they do not turn, they
are off. If they do turn, continue turning them clockwise
until they stop; then they are off.
C) Turn gas supply on at source (2) .
m WARNING: Do not ignite burners when
leak checking.
D) To check for leaks, wet fittings with the soap and water
solution, using a spray bottle, brush or rag. If bubbles
form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Apply the
soap and water solution to the following connections:
a) Manifold-to-regulator hose connection (3) .
b) Regulator-to-tank connection (4) .
c) Regulator hose-to-regulator connection (5) .
m WARNING: If there is a leak at
connections (3, 4 or 5), turn off the
gas. NEVER ATTEMPT TO TIGHTEN THE
REGULATOR WITH TANK VALVE OPEN.
DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the
Customer Service Representative in your
area using the contact information on our
web site.

E) When leak checking is complete, turn gas supply off at
the source 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.
Now you are ready to use your grill.
WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK?
The fuel system in your grill
features connections and
fittings. A leak check is a
reliable way to make sure that
no gas is escaping from any of
the connections or fittings.
Although all factory-made
connections have been
thoroughly checked for gas
leaks, it’s important to perform
a leak check before using your
grill for the first time, as well
as anytime you disconnect
and reconnect a fitting and
each time you perform routine
maintenance.
