Note: Never use LP gas without testing for leaks in the system
Turn OFF the gas supply at the cylinder.
Turn OFF all appliance burner controls.
With the appliance burner control(s) in the OFF position, turn gas cylinder valve
ON. This pressurizes all lines to appliance(s).
If it still does not indicate the tank level, you are out of gas or have not tighten the
gauge enough to get the reading.
Watch the needle position on the gauge. Wait for around 3 seconds and then CLOSE the cylinder valve. The Gas Meter now monitors pressure between the cylinder and appliance. Any leaks in the lines between the cylinder an appliance will be indicated by the needle movement towards Red Color.
If you find a leak - DO NOT USE GAS.
To find leak, apply soap solution to all connections and look for bubbles. An expanding bubble or bubbles indicate you have a leak.
Repair all leaks prior to using gas cylinder or appliances. Retighten where bubbles appear, recheck for leakage using the soap and water solution.
If bubbles persist - you still have a leak - STOP - DO NOT USE the propane cylinder or appliance(s). Have a qualified propane service person recheck your propane system and correct leaks before using the propane system outlet.
