5
cylinders within 10 feet of fire pit. LP cylinders must be stored
outdoors, out of reach of children. Do not store a spare LP-gas
cylinder under or near this fire pit. Never fill the cylinder beyond
80 percent full. Failure to follow these instructions exactly could
result in a fire causing death or serious injury.
While the fire pit is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the
supply cylinder. The fire pit should be shut off and all supply
valves (on piping or on fuel cylinders) should be closed in the
event that the odor of unburned gas is detected. Do not attempt
to use the unit until any gas leaks are fixed. Do not use the fire
pit if the burner fails to light or fails to remain lit. Under such
conditions, gas should be shut off and fuel cylinders should be
disconnected. Do not operate under high wind conditions. All
installations are to conform to local codes. In the absence of
local codes, installation should conform to the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54
Fire pit should be installed with the hose regulator assembly
extended at full length of hose directly away from the burner.
When so configured, placement results in maximum tank to
fire pit distance. When fire pit is operated, the hose/regulator
and gas tank should be on a line
perpendicular to wind direction.
Placing tank closer than 48" to the
fire pit can overheat the tank and
cause release of propane through
relief openings and can result in tank
fire or explosion. Make sure the hose
does not touch any part of the burner
drum housing. Care should be taken
to protect the fuel supply hose from
damage from either foot or vehicle
traffic.
Propane tank must be set inside of
the included tank support ring. Do
not use fire pit if tank is not inside of support ring or with the
tank in the incorrect position.
CONNECTING THE LP TANK
1. The knob on the LP tank must be
closed. See that the knob is turned
clockwise to a full stop.
2. Check that the control knob on the fire
pit is turned off.
3. Remove the protective
cap from the LP tank
valve and coupling
nut, if present.
4. Hold the regulator in
one hand and insert
the nipple into the
valve outlet. Be sure
the nipple is centered
in the valve outlet. The
coupler connects to the
large outside threads
on the valve outlet
5. Hand tighten the
coupler clockwise until it comes to a full stop. Firmly tighten
by hand only.
The fire pit is to be used only with the 20 pound, vertical
standing vapor withdrawal type tank. This fire pit is designed
to operate on propane gas only. The 20 lb LP cylinder used with
this fire pit must conform to the following requirements:
• Type 1 Connections
• Diameter - 12" / 31.1cm
• Height - 18.25" / 46cm
• 9.07 kg / 20 lb LPG capacity or 21.6 kg / 47.6 lb water
capacity
The gas cylinder used must include a collar to protect the
cylinder valve. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for
vapor withdrawal.
Follow the instructions stated on gas cylinder tanks when filling
or transporting tanks. Failure to do so could result in problems
relating to overfilling, excessive venting release of gas and to
regulator freezing. Never fill the cylinder more than 80 percent
full.
CAUTION
In the connection process, the HVR side of the connection
will seal on the back check in the valve, resulting in a slight
resistance. The connection requires about one-half to three
quarters additional turn to complete connection. Any fuel
supply cylinder used must be constructed and marked in
accordance with specifications for propane cylinders of the
U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)CFR 49 or CAN/
CSA B339.
Do not allow dirt or foreign material to get into or onto tank
connection when it is not attached to the fuel supply system.
Use the protective cap provided. Place dust cap on cylinder
valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the
type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided
with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of propane. Cylinders must be filled before
initial use. All handling, transport, filling and storage of LP
gas cylinders must be in accordance with NFPA 58 Storage
and Handling of Liquid Petroleum Gasses, or CAN/CSA b149.2
Propane Installation Code.
