- Do not test indoors.
- A leak check must be performed whenever the propane cylinder is replaced.
NOTE: Use only the pressure regulator supplied with this patio hearer. Replace it with those specified by the manufacturer only.
- Make leakage solution by mixing 1 part liquid dish soap and 3 parts water.
- With the cylinder connected to the hose, spoon or brush several drops (or use squirt bottle) of the solution onto the connections along the hose, regulator and cylinder (Fig. 13).

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a gas cylinder with pipe connection and valve assembly (no text or symbols)- Open the propane cylinder valve. Inspect the connections and look for bubbles.
- If no bubbles appear, the connection is safe. If bubbles appear, there is leakage. Loosen and re-tighten this connection. If there is still a leak, turn off the cylinder and contact the Snow Joe ^® + Sun Joe ^® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
At least once a year, a complete inspection of the entire gas path components should be performed by a professional technician.
