Leak Check.
Leak testing:
This must be done before initial use, annually, and whenever any gas
Components are replaced or serviced. Do not smoke while performing this test, and
remove all sources of ignition. See Leak Testing Diagram for areas to check. Turn all
burner controls to the off position. Turn gas supply valve on.
Brush a half-and-half solution of liquid soap and water onto all joints and connections of
the regulator, hose, manifolds and valves.
Bubbles will indicate a gas leak. Either tighten the loose joint or have the part replaced with
one recommended by the Customer Care department and have the patio heater inspected
by a certified gas installer.
If the leak cannot be stopped,
immediately shut off the gas supply,
disconnect it,and have the
patio heater inspected by a certified gas installer or dealer. Do not use the patio heater until the
leak has been corrected.
WARNING!
A leak test must be performed annually and each time a cylinder is hooked up or if a part of
the gas system is replaced.
WARNING!
Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be certain no sparks or open flames are in
the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion, damage to
property, serious bodily injury, or death.
