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 inan
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.

Use a clean paintbrush
and a 50/50 mild soap and
water solution.
