Notes about LP Gas Tank Exchange Programs
• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of
replacing your empty LP gas tank through an
exchange service. Use only those reputable
exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test
and certify their tanks. Exchange your tank only for
an OPD safety feature equipped tank as described
in the LP gas tank section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP gas tanks in an
upright position during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP gas tanks BEFORE
connecting one to your grill.
How to Leak Test your LP Gas Tank
For your safety:
• All leak tests must be repeated each time your LP gas
tank is exchanged or refilled.
• Do not smoke when checking for gas leaks.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Your grill must be leak tested outdoors in a
well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such
as gas fired or electrical appliances. During the leak
test, keep your grill away from open flames or
sparks.
• Do not use household cleaning agents as damage to
gas assembly components can occur.
D Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and
water solution.
□. Brush soapy solution onto the LP gas tank in the areas
indicated by the arrows. See diagram.
D If growing bubbles appear do not use or move the LP
gas tank. Call an LP gas supplier or your fire
department.
