1. Make leakage solution by mixing 1 part liquid dish soap
and 3 parts water.
2. With the cylinder connected to the hose, spoon or brush
several drops (or use squirt bottle) of the solution onto the
connections along the hose, regulator and cylinder
(Fig. 13).
3. Open the propane cylinder valve. Inspect the connections
and look for bubbles.
4. If no bubbles appear, the connection is safe. If bubbles
appear, there is leakage. Loosen and re-tighten this
connection. If there is still a leak, turn off the cylinder
and contact the Snow Joe
center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
At least once a year, a complete inspection of the entire gas
path components should be performed by a professional
technician.
