Q & A 

Should there be a gas smell in the area? NO. Turn off the 
gas supply immediately,

 Do not turn on any electrical devices. 

Ventilate the area by opening vents, doors, or windows. Leave 
the area until the gas smell is no longer present. Once 
ventilated and the gas smell is gone, determine where the leak 
is by using soapy water. Spray the soapy solution on the gas 
connections and watch for bubbles. Bubbles will appear if the 
connection(s) are leaking. Seal the leaks. If this does not 
correct the problem, call the factory. 

The power is connected but not working and no indicator 
light is on.
  

The “tip over” switch may be activated. Tilt the 

unit to one side and listen for a clicking noise. The switch is 
like a pendulum and will turn off the unit if it is not level. 

The burners are not lighting but the unit is trying. 

If the 

burners do not fire the first attempt, it will try again. After a 30 
second pause the unit will  attempt to re-fire the burner(s) for 
15 seconds, This cycle will repeat until it fires or a maximum of 
5 times. After 5 unsuccessful attempts, the module will lock 
itself for a 20 minute pause.  The LED light next to “Lock Out 
(error)” will be illuminated. Verify that the spark is being 
generated and the position of the sparking electrodes is close 
to the burner to be lit. 

One or more of the burners is not lighting? 

 Make sure the 

gas line is not kinked or twisted and the gas supply is 
adequate. Do not operate if yellow or large flames are present. 
If using propane, turn off the gas regulator for 30 seconds, and 
then try again. 
 

The CO2 level is not increasing to my desired PPM level. 

If 

both burners are operating, check for air leakage in the grow 
area and confirm that exhaust fans are not operating when the 
CO2 is being produced.
