You will need a soap and water solution to check for gas leaks. (See Step "Check for gas leaks.")
Refer to exploded view if replacement parts are needed. Your LP tank is shipped empty for safety. After setting

Step 9

Set LP fuel scale

You will need: LP tank (empty).
Note - For accuracy, the fuel scale must be set with an empty tank.
We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the tanks we receive have differing top collar assemblies. (The top collar is the metal protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mounts with the valve facing front. The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale. These types of tanks are illustrated in Figure 13.
Loosen the tank lock wing nut. Tighten so the lock is held up out of the way. Figure 13 (a). Lift and hook the tank onto the fuel scale. With an empty LP tank, adjust the fuel scale setting to E with scale setting (top) wing nut. Figure 13 (b).
CAUTION: Do not remove adjustment wing nut from tank scale.
After adjusting tank scale, push tank down a couple of times to check that the tank scale is set on “E”.

Step 10

Fill LP tank

Note - The LP tank manufacturer is responsible for the materials, workmanship and performance of the tank. If the tank has a defect, malfunctions, or you have a question regarding the tank, call the tank manufacturer's customer service center. The phone number is on the warning decal which is permanently attached to the tank. If the tank manufacturer has not resolved the issue to your satisfaction, then call Weber-Stephen Products Co., Customer Service Center.
To fill, take the LP tank to an RV center or look-up gas­propane in the phone book for other sources of LP gas.
WARNING: We recommend that your LP tank be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a qualified attendant, who fills the tank by weight.
IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
Tell your LP dealer that this is a new LP tank. The air must be removed from a new LP tank before the initial filling. Your LP tank dealer is equipped to do this.
CAUTION: If you exchange your LP tank, make sure you get a similar tank in return. Your LP tank is equipped with a quick-disconnect valve. Other LP tanks are not compatible with your barbecue connection.
The LP tank must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP tank should not be dropped or handled roughly.
Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures can reach 125° Fahrenheit (too hot to hold by hand – for example: do not leave the LP tank in a car on a hot day).
For full instructions on safe handling of LP tanks, see Section "Safe handling tips for LP gas,” in the Operating Guide.
Step 11

Remove control panel

Pull the right hand swing table up. Stand to the right side of the barbecue. Slightly pull back both side burner locks. Slide the side burner out from the control panel. Figure 14. Do not disconnect the hose.

Step 12

Check that items are secured

Note - Although the following items were factory assembled, check that they have not loosened during shipping and handling.
Remove the tape from the manifold bracket. Check that the bracket is securely hooked onto the
frame brace and under the manifold at the center burner valve. Figure 16.
If it is loose lift the bracket, manifold and cooking box slightly as a unit and reposition onto the frame brace.
Check that the igniter is secure in the frame brace and has not shifted out of the key hole. Figure 17.
If it is loose, slide the igniter into the rear of the key hole. Carefully tighten the igniter lock nut with an adjustable wrench or pliers.

Remove the tape from the hose and regulator. Route the hose so it will not interfere with the scale
indicator rod. The hose and regulator are connected in the
following manner: Slide back the collar of the quick disconnect on the tank
valve. Push the male fitting of the regulator into the quick disconnect, and maintain pressure. Slide the collar closed. Figure 21 (a). Figure 21 (b) shows the quick disconnect engaged and various components of the tank and regulator. Regulator vent hole should be at 3, 6, or 9 o'clock. It should not be pointed up. Figure 21 (c).
Step 13

Connect filled LP tank

WARNING: Make sure that the LP tank valve is closed. Close by turning clockwise.
Hook the LP tank onto the fuel scale. Loosen the tank lock wing nut. Swing the tank lock down. Tighten the wing nut. Figure 20.

Step 14

Check for gas leaks

WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
Note - All factory made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks. The burners have been flame tested. As a safety precaution you should recheck all fittings for leaks before using your Weber Genesis Gas Barbecue. Shipping and handling may have loosened or damaged a gas fitting.
WARNING: Perform these leak checks even though the barbecue was assembled.
You will need: a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it.
Note - Since some leaks test solutions, including soap and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
Make sure side burner is OFF. Remove valve control knob and screws. Remove porcelain top. Figure 22.
To perform leak checks: open tank valve by turning the tank valve handwheel counterclockwise. Figure 23.
Figure 22
DANGER
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.
WARNING: Do not ignite burners while leak checking.
Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the soap and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles form or if a bubble grows there is a leak.
Check: a) Hose to manifold connection. Figure 24 (a). b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 24 (b). c) Manifold to side burner hose connection.
Figure 24 (c).
WARNING: If there is a leak at connections a, b or c, retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution.
If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
d) Side burner hose to side burner connection.
Figure 24 (d). e) Valves to manifold connections. Figure 24 (e). f) Hose to regulator connection. Figure 24 (f).
WARNING: If there is a leak at connections d, e or f, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF at the source and rinse connections with water.
