QUESTION ANSWER
How do I
remove the
auger if it
jams?
DANGER! Turn the switch OFF (
O
) and disconnect the power cord.
CAUTION! If the grill is still hot, allow it to cool thoroughly.
Remove any covers necessary to access the auger drive motor.
Remove the screw connecting the auger drive motor shaft to the auger shaft and the screw retaining the
auger bushing into the auger tube.
With a small pipe wrench or locking pliers on the auger shaft, turn the auger counterclockwise. It will turn
hard until it breaks free; then the auger will turn freely.
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 on page 26.)
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.
Reattach the auger shaft to the auger drive motor shaft.
How do I
protect my
paint finish?
Use a protective cover on the grill to protect your paint finish. A Traeger grill cover is highly recommended.
Covers are available from your Traeger dealer, or log onto our website, traegergrills.com.
Every 90 days, use a high-quality car wax on the outside surfaces of the grill. ONLY APPLY WAX TO A
COLD GRILL.
Where can I
get a new part
for my grill?
Check with your Traeger dealer. They may have the part in stock or can order the part for you.
Contact Traeger's VIP-365 Customer Service (see page 35) to place an order.
In either case, please provide your name, phone number, address, model, and serial number of the grill
(located on the label inside the hopper lid), along with the part identification number from the component
diagram or parts list.
