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: 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 recheck 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 if your
barbecue was dealer or store assembled.
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.
To perform leak checks: open tank valve by turning the
tank valve handwheel counterclockwise. Figure 17.
Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the soap
and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles
form or if a bubble grows there is a leak.
WARNING: Do not ignite burners while leak checking.
Check:
a) Hose to manifold connection. Figure 18 (a).
b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 18 (b).
WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (a),
retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for
leaks with soap and water solution.
If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn OFF
the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact
Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
c) Valves to manifold connections. Figure 18 (c).
d) Hose to regulator connection. Figure 18 (d).
WARNING: If there is a leak at connections
(b), (c) or (d), turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE
BARBECUE. Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF at
the source and rinse connections with water.
