Preparation For Use - Leak Testing; Disconnecting A Gas Cylinder - Pit Boss Ultimate Griddle Serie Handbuch

PREPARATION FOR USE – LEAK TESTING
A leak test is used to determine the integrity of a seal. Before using your gas griddle, perform a leak test on the connection
between the regulator and the gas cylinder to reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion. A leak test
should be performed a minimum of once a season, as well as:
• before lighting your griddle for the first time,
• every time the gas cylinder has been changed,
• after travel, especially over rough or bumpy roads,
• after a prolonged period of storage or non-use.
HOW TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST
Supplies Required:
1 x Bowl ( empty, clean )
1 x Paint Brush ( clean )
Dish Washing Liquid
Water
Procedure:
1. Position the griddle in a well-ventilated area. Ensure the griddle is cool to the touch, and not in use. Verify that the
regulator value is turned to the OFF position and that the gas cylinder is tightened securely to the regulator.
IMPORTANT: Ensure there is no open flame or griddles nearby.
2. Mix a solution of one part of water with one part of dish washing liquid in a bowl. The solution will make bubble,
as it will be concentrated.
3. Use a paint brush to apply the solution onto the seal between the regulator and the gas cylinder, and between the
manifold and the connector. Visually inspect for streams of bubbles coming from a defect or break in the seal.
NOTE: If a leak appears, repeat gas cylinder installation procedure, but do not over-tighten. Hand-tighten
only. Repeat leak test after re-installation to ensure seal is secure.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the gas griddle if you detect a gas leak that cannot be corrected by using the leak
test procedure. Contact your local Fire Department or Customer Care for alternative measures of testing
to ensure proper precaution.

DISCONNECTING A GAS CYLINDER

1. Turn all Control Knobs to "O" (OFF) position on the griddle. Ensure the Regulator Valve on the gas cylinder is completely closed
by turning the knob to the CLOSED position.
2. Turn the quick coupling nut counter-clockwise (by hand) to disconnect from the regulator valve opening. Replace the
protective caps on the Regulator Valve opening and the top of the gas cylinder for storage (if not empty).
NOTE: If storing the griddle indoors, leave the gas cylinder outdoors.
WARNING: Do not fold up or transport griddle with gas cylinder attached. The cylinder may loosen off the
valve and cause a gas leak, possibly resulting in an explosion, fire, or severe bodily harm. Disconnect gas
cylinder first before travel or storage.
