Leak Testing; Testing Procedures - Jackson Grills LUX550 Manuel D'utilisation

 GENERAL:
1. Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory, a complete gas tightness check must
be performed at the installation site. This is mandatory due to possible mishandling during shipping (which
could loosen fittings), or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.
2. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
 BEFORE TESTING:
1. Make sure that all packing materials are removed from the grill and cart.
2. Do not smoke while leak testing.
3. Never leak test with an open flame.
4. Make a soap solution with one part dish soap and one part water. Prepare a spray bottle, brush, or rag to
apply the solution to the connections. For the initial leak test, make sure the propane cylinder is full.
5. Grill must be leak tested outdoors in well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired or
electrical appliances, and flammable materials.


TESTING PROCEDURES:

1. Make sure all control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
2. Make sure the regulator is connected to the propane cylinder tightly. For Natural Gas, ensure that the gas
hose is correctly connected at the quick release box pre-installed on the home. (Not included with grill).
3. Completely open propane cylinder valve by turning SLOWLY counter clockwise. If you hear a "POP" sound,
turn gas off IMMEDIATELY, it indicates a heavy leak at the connection. Call your gas dealer or fire
department.
4. Check every connection from the propane cylinder or natural gas quick release, up to and including the
connection to the manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the burner) by brushing or spraying the
soapy solution on the connections.
5. If soap bubbles appear, there is a leak. Turn off propane cylinder valve or natural gas quick release
IMMEDIATELY and retighten connections, Turn on gas, and recheck for leaks.
6. Always close the propane cylinder valve and/or disconnect the Natural Gas hose, after leak test, when the
grill is not in use.
7. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitution can void the
warranty. Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
 LEAK TEST SAFETY TIPS:
1. Always check for leaks after every propane cylinder change.
2. Always check for leaks at every connection before use. (Including natural gas quick release hook up)
3. If any grease or hot products fall on the valve, regulator, hose or any part that conveys gas, shut gas off
immediately, check the cause and rectify it. Perform a complete leak test before reusing the grill.
4. If the smell of gas is detected, immediately shut off gas or disconnect from source, and repair leaks
before further attempts are made to use the grill.
