You can now connect your LP gas tank to the Fire Pit, using the standard propane gas hose with
built in regulator (shown in blue). Hand tighten the propane tank gas connector (shown in black), to
the tank valve (shown in red).
CAUTION
: Do NOT use tools to tighten this connection. Open the
gas valve on the tank by turning the gas valve knob (shown in green) counter-clockwise (to the left)
until fully open.
See diagram below.
To remove the gas tank, first turn off the gas valve by turning the knob fully clockwise (right), then
unscrew the gas connector counter-clockwise (left) and move the gas hose to a secure location to
prevent accidental damage.
WARNING
: Inspect the hose and tank connector before each use to insure there is no damage
caused by rodents, weather or other conditions. NEVER use any Fire Pit which has any
components, including the gas hose or gas tank connector damaged in any way. If you find any
damage, turn off the valve on the gas tank and call a licensed repair technician to replace damaged
components. Replace any damaged items with components that have the exact same ratings.
WARNING:
Before you turn on your Fire Pit for the first time, you must test your connections to
insure there are no leaks. Gas from leaking joints can pose a serious threat to your personal
property, yourself and others near this Fire Pit. NEVER use a lit match, lighter or other sources of
fire to check joints for leaks. Use a gas leak detection kit available from your local home
improvement store and follow all directions supplied by the manufacturer.
WARNING:
Inspect the burner assembly at least every six (6) months to insure there is no
damage before use. Clean your burner, pilot and thermocouple at least every six months to insure
proper operation.
