Never use your grill without leak testing all gas connections and hoses. See the section on
“Leak Testing” in this manual for proper procedures.
•
Visually inspect the hose assembly prior to each use for evidence of damage, excess wear or
deterioration. If found, replace the assembly before using your grill. Only the Brinkmann
supplied replacement should be used.
WARNING
CONNECTING YOUR GRILL TO THE NATURAL GAS SOURCE
1. Coat pipe nipple with gas resistant teflon tape or pipe dope. Tighten quick-disconnect coupler onto pipe

2. After grill is completely assembled, make sure natural gas supply valve is “OFF” and then connect
natural gas hose to socket. Push sleeve back on socket (Figure B) and insert plug until sleeve snaps
forward, locking plug into socket. Be sure to leak test these connections prior to use.
