FINAL CHECKS

LEAK TESTING

Leak Test Procedure:

• Create a soapy solution of 1 part soap and 3 parts water. 
• Confirm that all control knobs are in the off position. 
• Turn on the fuel supply. For natural gas, turn the valve 

handle 1/4 turn to align with the gas flow.  

• For L.P., turn the cylinder valve knob counter clockwise 

one full rotation. 

• Apply the soap solution generously by paint brush or 

squirt bottle on all connections and fittings. 

• If bubbles appear to “grow” on any of the connections, 

you have a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas sup-
ply.

Fixing a Gas Leak:

• Shut off the gas supply
• Turn all grill controls to the “ON” position to purge the 

grill of any gas build-up, then turn the controls back 
“OFF”. 

• Wash off the soapy solution with cold water and dry. 
• Tighten the loose joint, or replace the faulty part with 

manufacturer-recommended replacement parts. 

• DO NOT attempt to repair the L.P. cylinder valve if it 

is damaged. The only way to safely resolve a damaged 
cylinder is to REPLACE IT. 

• Repeat the leak test to ensure that no leaks are present.

LOW HEAT BURNER ADJUSTMENT

FOR MAIN BRASS AND PROSEAR 2 BURNERS ONLY!

DO NOT ADJUST THE ROTISSERIE BURNER. 

The main brass burners and ProSear 2 burner on your Lynx 
grill feature an adjustable low setting. 

Fluctuations in gas pressure, gas conversion and even in the 
quality of the gas itself may affect burner performance at the 
“LOW” setting. It could be either too high or too low.

To Adjust the Burner to a Low Setting:

• Make sure the grill is cool.
• Remove the racks so you can see the flames while adjust-

ing the burners.

• Light the burner and allow it to preheat on high for 3 

minutes. 

• Turn the burner to “LOW”.
• Pull off the control knob.
• While holding the valve shaft with pliers as shown insert a 

small flat screwdriver into the center shaft and adjust the 
flame’s low setting. (1/8” blade 3” long shaft)

Clockwise will lower the flame setting, counterclockwise will 

raise it.

The proper setting is where the flame is stable at its low-
est setting. A slight flutter will be present in the crossover 
portion of the front of the burner before the burner itself 
becomes weak. 

The factory setting for propane gas is ½ to ¾ turn from the 
very bottom of the adjustment. The setting for natural gas 
is 1-½ to 1-¾ from the bottom. After the low settings are 
proper, turn all burners to high for visual inspection.

To prevent fire or explosion hazard, DO NOT 
smoke or allow any potential source of ignition 
(sparks, electrical arcing, etc) in the area while 
performing a leak test. Leak tests should be con-
ducted outdoors only. Never conduct a leak test 
using fire or flame.

DANGER!
