1. Move away from liquid propane tank. 
2. Do not attempt to correct the problem   
 yourself.

m DANGER: Always close the tank valve before 
disconnecting the regulator. Do not attempt 
to disconnect the gas regulator and hose 
assembly or any gas fitting while this grill is in 
operation.
m DANGER: Do not store a spare LP tank under

80% full. Failure to follow these statements 
exactly may result in a fire causing death or 
serious injury.
What is a Leak Check?
Once the LP tank is properly installed, 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 
tank. The fitting where the regulator connects to the 
tank should be tested each time a tank is refilled and 
reinstalled.
Checking for Gas Leaks
1) Wet fittings (G) 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) Slowly open gas supply by turning tank valve 
counterclockwise while checking for bubbles.
3) If bubbles appear there is a leak: 
a) If the leak is at the cylinder (H), turn o the gas. 
DONOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Disconnect the 
tank and return the tank to your local retailer.
b) If the leak is at the regulator (I), turn o the 
gas. DONOT 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: 
a) Turn gas supply o at the tank 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. 
However, it is recommended that a thorough leak 
check be performed annually. Instructions for this can 
be found online at weber.com.
