and it will need to be replaced. Contact your Traeger Dealer or the Traeger Parts
Department

c) If the fan blade turns a bit and then stops, continue watching and turn the Switch
OFF
(o) . If the fan blade UNWINDS slightly, this indicates a jam in the Auger system
which will need to be cleared.
d)
DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord. Remove the
Pellets from the Pellet Hopper. Check for foreign objects and wet or decomposed
Pellets, both of which can cause a jam in the Auger system. The Auger will need to
be removed to clear a jam in the Auger system. See “HOW DO I REMOVE THE
AUGER IF IT JAMS?” section below.
`
HOW DO I REMOVE THE AUGER IF IT JAMS?
1) DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord.
2) CAUTION! If the Grill is still hot, allow it to thoroughly cool.
3) Remove any covers necessary to access the Auger Drive Motor.
4) Remove the screw connecting the Auger Drive Motor shaft to the Auger shaft and
the screw retaining the Auger Bushing into the Auger Tube.
5) With a small pipe wrench or locking pliers on the Auger shaft, turn the Auger counter
clockwise. It will turn hard until it breaks free, then the Auger will turn freely.
6) Remove the Auger and clean all Pellets, ash or foreign objects from the Auger,
Auger Tube and Firepot. ( See instructions for proper handling and disposal of
ash in Section Five)
7) Sand the outside surfaces of the auger with medium grit sandpaper. Check the
inside of the Auger Tube and sand it if needed. Vacuum the sanding grit out of the
Auger Tube and Firepot when finished. Check that the Auger rotates freely.
9) Re-attach the Auger shaft to the Auger Drive Motor shaft.
WHY DOES MY GRILL FIRE GO OUT ON “SMOKE” SETTING?
The “P” number for the Smoke Adjustment on the Digital Control may be set too high.
Review the Digital Thermostat Control Functions in Section Four: Operating Tips
to make an adjustment.
There may be excess ash in the Firepot which needs to be cleaned.
WARNING! If the fire in the Firepot goes out while smoking, when sufficient Pellets
are still in the Pellet Hopper, it is important to follow these steps. Failure to do so
may cause a hazardous “over-firing” of your grill due to an excess of unburned
pellets in the Firepot.
a) DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord. If the Grill is
still hot, allow it to thoroughly cool. Open the Door and remove all food, the Porcelain
Grills, Grease Drain Pan and the Heat Baffle.
b)
WARNING! Remove all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the
Firepot. ( See instructions for proper handling and disposal of ash in Section
Five)
c) Before replacing the Heat Baffle, Grease Drain Pan and the Porcelain Grills, plug
the Power Cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet and turn the Switch
ON
(--). Pellets should fall into the Firepot and the Hot Rod should begin to heat (it
will start to turn red). CAUTION! Do not touch it.
