ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
After a period of non-use, we recommend that you perform the following
maintenance procedures for your safety. Inspect and clean the burner tube.
Inspect the burner for correct flame pattern. Clean if necessary. Check all
gas fittings for leaks following the instructions listed under “Check for Gas
Leaks”
CAUTION: Do not clean the burner tube with hard or sharp tools.
Lightly tap the burner tube to get debris and dirt out. Once the burner tube
is clean, replace it in the grill. If the burner tube becomes damaged or
cannot be cleaned, go to HitchFire.com for replacement parts.
Do not use grill and contact customer service if:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing
yellow and lazy.
2. Grill does not reach temperature.
3. Grill heats unevenly.
4. Burner does not ignite.
DANGER: Failure to correct the above mentioned symptoms may result
in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and cause
damage to property.
INSPECTION AND CLEANING
OF BURNER TUBE:
Your HitchFire grill, as well
as any other outdoor gas
appliance is a target for spiders
and other insects. They can
nest in the venturi section of
the burner tube. This blocks
the normal gas flow, and can
cause the gas to flow back out
of the air shutter. This could
result in a fire in and around
the air shutter, causing serious
damage to your grill.
