DANGER:
DO NOT smoke or use an open flame during leak test.
If a leak is present, the gas could ignite and result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always check for gas
leaks any time the LP gas cylinder is disconnected and
then reconnected.
STEP 16: TESTING VALVES, HOSE, AND
REGULATOR FOR LEAKS
See Figure 25.
Connections on the hose and regulator were tested at the
factory to ensure no gas leaks were present. However,
shipping and handling could loosen connections. As a safety
precaution:
Turn all control knobs on the control panel off.
Make sure the regulator is properly connected to the LP
gas cylinder.
To open the cylinder valve: turn handwheel counter -
clockwise.
If you hear a rushing sound, immediately turn off the
cylinder valve. This sound means there is a major leak at
the connection. Correct the problem before proceeding.
