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 will result in a fire or explosion
which can cause serious bodily injury or
death and damage to property.
WARNING
This gas connections of your Weber Gas
Barbecue have been factory tested. We do
however recommend that you leak check all
gas connections before operating your
Weber Gas Barbecue.
WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every time
you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
Remove the knobs from the control panel. Figure 24.
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.
WARNING
Make sure all burner control knobs are in
the OFF position, including the side burner,
if the barbecue has a side burner.
