ON THE ROAD
•
Disconnect the igniter from the main wiring harness. Use the manual
start-up procedure. A Pit Boss unit can operate using a 12 volt, 100 watt
inverter plugged into your automobile outlet. To use the automatic
igniter, it is recommended to use a minimum of a 1000 watt inverter.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect unit from power source when not in use.

GAS CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS

The grill is set and tested with liquid propane gas only. The regulator supplied is set for 27.94 cm (11 inch) water column (WC) and
is for use with LP gas only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose must be used with a 9 kg (20 lbs) LP gas tank. Contact your
gas supplier for a special regulator for bulk gas that fuels other appliances.
CAUTION: It is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident there is excessive
abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being used.

INSTALLING A GAS CYLINDER

1. From the side of the cart, place foot ring of 9 kg (20 lbs) tank onto the gas
tank support bracket Fig 1. Make sure the tank valve is in OFF position. Put
tank handle to LP Gas Cylinder Wire Retainer and secure tightly Fig 2. Ensure
the tank is completely upright, as it is unsafe to operate the grill if the gas
tank is not installed properly.
2. Ensure the regulator valve on the grill is completely closed by turning the
knob clockwise to the OFF position.
3. Remove the protective caps from the regulator valve opening and the top of
the gas cylinder. Save the caps.
4. Insert the gas cylinder valve into the threaded opening of the regulator valve.
Turn the cylinder clockwise until firm. Hand-tighten only.
5. Gas cylinder is now installed.
PREPARATION FOR USE – LEAK TESTING
A leak test is used to determine the integrity of a seal. Before using your gas grill, 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 grill 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.
