Gas hose connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. A complete
gas leak check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling during
the transit process.
Leak testing: Do not smoke while performing this test, and remove all sources of ignition.
A full gas cylinder is required. This test must be done before initial use, annually and whenever
any gas Components are replaced or serviced.
1. Mix a solution of water and washing up liquid, then pour onto the connection between
the joints and connections of the regulator, hose, manifolds and valves. See Leak Testing
Diagram below for areas to check. Turn all burner controls to the off position. Turn the gas
regulator ON.
• If no bubbles are present - This indicates the connection is leak safe.
• If bubbles are present - Tighten the hose clip further and retest for leaks
• If bubbles continue to appear -please contact your gas supplier or heater distributor
2. If the leak cannot be stopped, immediately shut off the gas supply and disconnect it.
3. Do not use the patio heater until the leak has been corrected.
