Owner & Safety Manual

SECTION 1: ASSEMBLY

STEP 1 Enclosed are five bags of rocks, one factory installed 10’ propane-rated hose with attached regulator, one propane tank stabilizer ring, one lid and one carry strap.

STEP 2 Remove plastic bags containing the rocks, propane stabilizer ring and cover and carry kit.

STEP 3 Open the two bags containing mid-sized rocks, labelled conveniently for you “M” and arrange in burner area.

STEP 4 Open the bag containing larger sized rocks, labelled conveniently for you “L” and arrange on top of the medium sized rocks.

STEP 5 Two bags of rocks are included as spares and labelled “Spare Rocks”. These can be stored and used as replacements.

Our preferred configuration is pictured here.

Never handle rocks which have not been allowed to cool from exposure to flame. Never attempt to rearrange rocks while unit is ignited.

NOTE: Rocks are not to exceed a maximum weight of 3 kg or 6.6lbs.

STEP 6 Your included Cover is to be used for storage and transportation as shown in the following image.

• Never use the cover to extinguish the flame on your Outland Firebowl.

SECTION 2: IGNITION

STEP 1

NOTE TO USER:

Before igniting the unit for the

first time, follow steps one

through 5 in the below Ignition

section.

WARNING:

Never use the cover on your

Outland Firebowl Mega while the

Firebowl burner is in operation.

After use allow the Firebowl to

cool for at least 30 minutes prior

to deploying the cover.

STEP 2

Ensure that unit valve dial is in the “OFF” position by pushing and turning clockwise until

the dial stops.

STEP 3

STEP 4

Securely attach regulator (large end of hose) to your propane cylinder.

STEP 5

Extend hose to full length and ensure that the propane tank is as far as safely possible from the Firebowl and place the tank in the included stabilizer ring.

SLOWLY turn cylinder valve to the open position to avoid tripping the CSA excess flow safety device in the gas regulator. For more information about the CSA excess flow safety device see STEP 8 (What is an Excess Flow Safety Valve? (EFV).

Leak Test all connections. See section labeled “Leak Test”.

En-5 OUTLAND FIREBOWL® MEGA OWNER & SAFETY MANUAL D.883.000.V3 https://manual- hub.com/

SECTION 2: IGNITION (continued)

STEP 6

Using a lighter or match, ignite

lighter and hold flame slightly

above the burner, then open the

valve on the appliance slowly by

turning (counter-clockwise) until

the unit ignites.

STEP 8

STEP 7

Once the unit is burning normally set the dial to desired flame height.

GOT A LOW FLAME?: If your firebowl experiences low flame, or flame height does not appear to be normally adjusted by the gas knob, it is likely that the CSA excess flow safety device has been tripped in the hose regulator.

CORRECTIVE ACTION: Close propane cylinder valve. Open and then close Firebowl gas knob valve to release pressure. Disconnect and reconnect the propane cylinder valve connection. Slowly open propane cylinder valve. Perform Leak Test and follow Ignition sequence.

WARNING: Ensure that no parts of your body, clothing, or any other combustible material are above the burner before, during and after ignition. Ensure the cover is stored safely away from the Firebowl when the Firebowl is in use.

WHAT IS AN EXCESS FLOW SAFETY VALVE? (EFV)

The EFV is a safety mechanism contained within every propane gas regulator. The purpose of the EFV is to restrict the gas supply if too much gas is flowing too quickly through the gas hose. For example, this could happen if the gas hose was severed.

It is normal that your Fire Bowl EFV trips if you open the propane tank valve too quickly or if you leave the Fire Bowl gas knob open before lighting, or both.

SECTION 3: PERIODIC INSPECTION OF BURNER FLAMES

Upon igniting the appliance,
visually verify that the
burner is indeed burning as
demonstrated in the image to
the left. The presence of flames
will confirm that the burner
is burning. Periodically check
that the burner flame is present
during operation by visually inspecting the burner to ensure the
presence of flames.

If there are no flames present,
as demonstrated in the image
to the left, the appliance is likely
not burning. If this is the case,
IMMEDIATELY turn the valve to the
“off” position if it is not already
and repeat the ignition procedure
as outlined in Section 2.

SECTION 4: EXTINGUISHING THE APPLIANCE

STEP 1
Turn cylinder valve to the “Closed” position.

STEP 2
Turn appliance valve to the “Off” position
by pushing and turning knob clockwise.

STEP 3
Allow unit to cool for at least five
(5) minutes before relighting.

cylinder ‘freezing off’ or start to experience lower flames than usual, please simply turn the burner control setting to low for 5–10
minutes, or replace the cylinder with a full one.
3 Ensure that you clean the bowl of your Outland Firebowl® after every use to keep it looking GREAT. Simply wipe the outer edge of the
Firebowl with a damp paper towel or cloth to remove any combustion particulates.
4 Ensure to keep the cover on when storing your Outland Firebowl® in order to protect it from the elements.
