Step 1
Make sure the propane tank valve and regulator control valve
are turned OFF.
Step 2
Make sure male SAE fitting is properly attached to air
shutter (refer to Assembly Instructions). Attach POL
fitting to tank (using f" wrench) and tighten by turning
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
Step 3
Prepare a soapy water solution (one part dishwashing liquid
to three parts water) to test for gas leaks in the hose and
connections. Apply a generous amount of the soapy mixture
to the regulator, POL fitting, control valve, the entire length of
hose and SAE fitting (located near the air shutter).
Step 4
With the regulator control valve in the “OFF” position, open
the propane tank valve two full turns (counter-clockwise).
Next, open the regulator control valve fully and check for
bubbles at control valve, along the entire length of hose and
at the SAE fitting. DO NOT LEAVE GAS ON FOR MORE THAN
10 SECONDS. If soapy mixture starts bubbling, gas is leaking
through the connection or hose. Turn the propane tank valve
OFF and retighten the connection that is leaking gas. Repeat
procedure with soapy mixture until gas no longer leaks.
NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS. Turn the
propane tank valve OFF after each test.
Step 5
Once all gas leaks have been sealed, WAIT AT LEAST
5 MINUTES FOR GAS FUMES TO DISSIPATE BEFORE
LIGHTING THE BURNER.
GAS LEAK TESTING
THE GAS LEAK TESTING PROCEDURE MUST BE PERFORMED
EVERY TIME THE TANK IS CONNECTED TO COOKER.
WARNING
• Gas leak testing must be performed outdoors in a well ventilated area.
• During the gas leak testing procedure, always keep unit away from open flames, sparks or lit
cigarettes.
• Never use a flame to check for gas leaks.
• If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the propane tank valve and regulator control valve
off immediately. Always wait at least 5 minutes for gas fumes to dissipate before repeating
procedure.
• Always use the propane tank valve to turn the unit ON and OFF. The regulator control valve is used
to adjust the flame ONLY.
• Never use a unit that has a gas leak. Contact The Brinkmann Corporation’s Customer Service
Department for replacement parts at 1-800-527-0717.
