FAILURE TO COMPLY:

Failure to comply with the precautions and instructions provided with this fire pit can result in death, serious bodily injury and property loss or damage from hazards of fire, explosion, burn asphyxiation, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning. Only persons who can understand and follow the instructions should use or service this fire pit.

EXPLOSION – FIRE HAZARD:

• Keep solid combustibles, such as building materials, paper or cardboard, a safe distance away from the fire pit as recommended by the instructions.

• Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the combustion chamber.

• Never use the fire pit in spaces which do or may contain volatile or airborne combustibles, or products such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust particles or unknown chemicals.

• During operation, this product can be a source of ignition. Keep fire pit area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, paint thinner, cleaning solvents and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not use fire pit in areas with high dust content.

• Minimum fire pit clearances from combustible materials: two (2) feet from the sides and two (2) feet from the rear, and six (6) feet from ceiling.

• Never store propane near high heat, open flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other ignition sources or where temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49°C).

• Propane vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate in low places. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately.

• Never install or remove propane cylinder while fire pit is lighted, near flame, pilot lights, other ignition sources or while fire pit is hot to touch.

• This fire pit is red hot during use and can ignite flammables too close to the burner. Keep flammables at least 2 feet from sides & 2 feet from rear, 6 feet from ceiling. Keep gasoline and other flammable liquids and vapors well away from fire pit.

• Store the propane cylinder outdoors in a well ventilated space out of reach of children. Never store the propane cylinder in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). If fire pit is to be stored indoors, disconnect the propane cylinder for outdoor storage.

CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD:

• This fire pit is a combustion appliance. All combustion appliances produce carbon monoxide (CO) during the combustion process. This product is designed to produce extremely minute, non-hazardous amounts of CO if used and maintained in accordance with all warnings and instructions. Do not block air flow into or out of the fire pit.

• Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces flu-like symptoms, watery eyes, headaches, dizziness, fatigue and possibly death. You can’t see it and you can’t smell it. It’s an invisible killer. If these symptoms are present during operation of this product get fresh air immediately!

• For outdoor use only.

• Never use inside house, or other unventilated or enclosed areas.

• This fire pit consumes air (oxygen). Do not use in unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering your life.

• This appliance can produce carbon monoxide which has no odor. Using it in an enclosed space can kill you. Never use this appliance in an enclosed space such as a camper, tent or home.

• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is invisible, odorless, and flammable. An odorant is normally added to help detect leaks and can be described as a “rotten egg” smell. The odorant can fade over time so leaking gas is not always detectable by smell alone.

• Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane will sink to the lowest level possible. It can ignite by ignition sources including matches, lighters, sparks or open flames of any kind many feet away from the original leak. Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.

• Store or use propane gas in compliance with local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane when not in use.

• Alert children and adults to the hazards of high surface temperatures. Stay away from these surfaces to avoid burning skin or igniting clothing.

• Carefully supervise young children when in the vicinity of the fire pit.

• Do not hang clothing or any other flammable materials from the fire pit, or place on or near the fire pit.

• Replace any guard or protective device removed for servicing the appliance prior to placing back in service.

• Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The fire pit should be inspected before use and annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary. It is imperative that the control compartment, burners, and circulating air passageway of the appliance be kept clean.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. An LP-cylinder not connected for use shall not be stored in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, injury or death. Read the installation, operation and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.

• California Proposition 65: By-products of the combustion fuel used by this product contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

• BURN HAZARD: Never leave fire pit unattended when hot or in use. Keep out of reach of children.

ATTENTION: THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR COMMERCIAL USE. IT IS INTENDED FOR RESIDENTIAL USE ONLY.

WARNING: Perform all leak tests outdoors. Extinguish all open flames. NEVER leak test when smoking. Do not use the fire pit until all connections have been leak tested and do not leak.

1. Make 2-3oz. of leak test solution (one part liquid dishwashing detergent and three parts water).

2. Apply several drops of solution where the hose attaches to the regulator.

3. Apply several drops of solution where the regulator connects to the cylinder.

4. Make sure all fire pit and light valves are OFF.

5. Turn cylinder valve ON.

If bubbles appear at any connection, there is a leak.

1. Turn cylinder valve OFF.

2. If the leak is at the hose/regulator connection: tighten the connection and perform another leak test. If bubbles continue appearing, the hose should be returned to the place of purchase.

3. If the leak is at the regulator/cylinder valve connection: disconnect, reconnect, and perform another leak check. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, the cylinder valve is defective and should be returned to the cylinder’s place of purchase.

If NO bubbles appear at any connection, the connections are secure.

NOTE: Whenever gas connections are loosened or removed, you must perform a complete leak test.

1. Your fire pit was designed and approved for outdoor use only. Do NOT use it inside a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.

2. Make sure surrounding areas are free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors or liquids.

3. Ensure that there is no obstruction to air ventilation. Be sure all gas connections are tight and there are no leaks.

4. Be sure the cylinder cover is clear of debris. Be sure any component removed during assembly or servicing is replaced and fastened prior to starting.

1. The fire pit should be thoroughly inspected before each use, and by a qualified service person at least annually. If relighting a hot fire pit, always wait at least 5 minutes.

2. Inspect the hose assembly for evidence of excessive abrasion, cuts, or wear. Suspected areas should be leak tested. If the hose leaks, it must be replaced prior to operation. Only use the replacement hose assembly specified by the manufacturer. The burner must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation if it is evident that the burner is damaged. The replacement burner should be specified by the manufacturer.

1. Turn the control knob to the “OFF” position (Figure A).

2. Fully open the LP cylinder valve.
