15. CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
• STANDARD OUTLET
This appliance requires 110-120 volt, 60 Hz, 250 W. It must be a 3-prong
grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken off before use. The
control uses a 110-120 volt, fast-blow fuse to protect the board from
the ignitor.
• GFCI OUTLETS
This appliance will work on most GFCI outlets, with a recommended
size of 15 amp service. If your GFCI outlet is highly sensitive to power
surges, it will likely trip during the start-up phase of operation. During
the start-up phase, the ignitor draws 200-700 watts of electricity
which can be too much power for a GFCI outlet to handle. Each time it
trips, it increases in sensitivity. If the GFCI keeps tripping, replace the
outlet or change to a non-GFCI outlet.

ON THE ROAD
Disconnect the ignitor 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 ignitor, it is recommended to use a minimum of a 1000
watt inverter.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect unit from power source when not in use.
