LP cylinders must be stored outdoors, out of reach of children. Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this fire pit.
• Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full. Failure to follow these instructions exactly could result in a fire causing death or serious injury.
• While the fire pit is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder. The fire pit should be shut off and all supply valves (on piping or on fuel cylinders) should be closed in the event that the odor of unburned gas is detected. Do not attempt to use the unit until any gas leaks are fixed. Do not use the fire pit if the burner fails to light or fails to remain lit. Under such conditions, gas should be shut off and fuel cylinders should be disconnected. Do not operate under high wind conditions. All installations are to conform to local codes. In the absence of local codes, installation should conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54
• Fire pit should be installed with the hose regulator assembly extended at full length of hose directly away from the burner. When so configured, placement results in maximum tank to fire pit distance. When fire pit is operated, the hose/regulator and gas tank should be on a line perpendicular to wind direction.
• Placing tank closer than 48” to the fire pit can overheat the tank and cause release of propane through relief openings and can result in tank fire or explosion. Make sure the hose does not touch any part of the burner drum housing. Care should be taken to protect the fuel supply hose from damage from either foot or vehicle traffic.

CONNECTING THE LP TANK

1. The knob on the LP tank must be closed. See that the knob is turned clockwise to a full stop.
2. Check that the control knob on the fire pit is turned off.
3. Remove the protective cap from the LP tank valve and coupling nut, if present.
4. Hold the regulator in one hand and insert the nipple into the valve outlet. Be sure the nipple is centered in the valve outlet. The coupler connects to the large outside threads on the valve outlet
5. Hand-tighten the coupler clockwise until it comes to a full stop. Firmly tighten by hand only.

The fire pit is to be used only with the 20-pound, vertical standing vapor withdrawal type tank. This fire pit is designed to operate on propane gas only. The 20 lb LP cylinder used with this fire pit must conform to the following requirements:

• Type 1 Connections
• Diameter – 12” / 31.1cm
• Height – 18.25” / 46cm
• 9.07 kg / 20 lb LPG capacity or 21.6 kg / 47.6 lb water capacity

The gas cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
Follow the instructions stated on gas cylinder tanks when filling or transporting tanks. Failure to do so could result in problems relating to overfilling, excessive venting release of gas, and to regulator freezing. Never fill the cylinder more than 80 percent full.

CAUTION
In the connection process, the HVR side of the connection will seal on the back check in the valve, resulting in a slight resistance. The connection requires about one-half to three-quarters additional turn to complete the connection. Any fuel supply cylinder used must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications for propane cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)CFR 49 or CAN/CSA B339.
Do not allow dirt or foreign material to get into or onto tank connection when it is not attached to the fuel supply system. Use the protective cap provided. Place a dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane. Cylinders must be filled before initial use. All handling, transport, filling, and storage of LP gas cylinders must be by NFPA 58 Storage and Handling of Liquid Petroleum Gasses or CAN/CSA b149.2 Propane Installation Code.

CAUTION

• The gas pressure regulator provided with this appliance must be used. This regulator is set for an outlet pressure of 11” H20. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the fire pit manufacturer. See the rating sticker on side of fire pit for the regulator model number.
• The regulator/hose assembly should be handled carefully to prevent contamination by foreign objects and dirt. The assembly should be inspected before use and any dirt or contamination should be wiped off. The hose assembly must be replaced prior to the appliance being used if there is any evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is damaged. In order to ensure proper operation, any replacement of the regulator assembly must be with parts authorized by the manufacturer. Valve/pressure regulators are factory-set to the correct operating pressures. No attempts should be made to adjust these settings
• Cylinders must be suitably tied down during transport. Do not place any other items on top of the cylinders at any time.
• Cylinders are not to be exposed to excessive temperatures or high heat. Refer to the data plate for model identification. Units are factory-equipped for use on only one type of fuel. These units cannot be, and should not be used on other types of fuels. Doing so can cause severe damage to the unit and the installation area and the added risk of serious injury. Any attempt to operate this product on fuels for which it is not designed voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
• This unit is not to be utilized with a non-self-contained LP gas supply system.

WARNING
Appliances must be leak-checked outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas-fired or electrical appliances. During the leak test, keep the appliance away from open flames or sparks.

LEAK TESTING

1. Turn all control knob(s) to OFF.
2. Be sure the regulator is tightly connected to LP tank.
3. Slowly open LP tank valve by turning the hand wheel counterclockwise. If you hear a rushing sound, turn the gas off immediately. There is a major leak at the connection. Correct the leak before proceeding.
4. Brush 50/50 soap and water solution onto the indicated connections shown.
5. If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP tank valve immediately and retighten connections. If leaks cannot be stopped, do not try to repair them. Call for replacement parts. Order new parts by giving the serial number, model number and name of items needed to the Service Center at 1-435-752-3922.
6. Always close LP tank valve after performing the tank leak test by turning the hand wheel clockwise.

WARNING

• Do not use the appliance until the leak is checked.
• If you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close LP tank valve and call LP gas supplier or your fire department!

HOSE CHECK
Before each use, check to see if the hoses are cut or worn. Replace the damaged hose assembly before using the appliance. Use only the valve/hose/regulator specified by the manufacturer. See product sheet for hose & regulator information.

CHECKING FOR LEAKS

1. After all connections are completed, check all connections and fittings for leaks with a soap solution.
2. With all valves closed, apply the leak check solution (50/50 mix of dishwashing soap detergent and water) to all gas-carrying connections and fittings.
3. Open tank valve. Presence of bubbles at areas of wet solution indicates a gas leak. If leaks are detected or you smell or hear gas, shut off the valve and repair the leak or replace the defective part.

Do not use the fire pit until all leaks are corrected

CAUTION
The burner must be inspected before each use of the appliance. If it is evident that the burner is damaged it must be replaced before the appliance is put into use. The burner must be replaced only by factory authorized parts as specified by the manufacturer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Lighting Procedures

1. Check all connections for leaks using the “soapy water” test.
2. Check for any blockage to the venturi tube or burner. Remove any foreign objects or matter.
3. Be sure the burner control knob is “OFF”.
4. Open the LP cylinder valve ONLY 1-1/2 turns by turning counterclockwise.
5. Insert a long-nose gas lighter next to the burner, making sure it sits over the burner. Open the valve next to the burner by turning the lever to the ON position. If the burner does not light within 4 or 5 seconds, turn the control knob off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the process

CAUTION
The fire pit can become very hot while in use. Do not touch any portion of the fire pit except for the control knob next to the regulator. It may be necessary to use protective gloves.

SHUTTING THE FIRE PIT OFF

• Turn the control knob off and the burner flame should then go out. Turn off the LP cylinder valve by turning the knob clockwise until it stops. Follow instructions in this manual for proper storage procedures and the important warnings and safe guards on pages. When an LP tank is not connected, and to help prevent dirt or other foreign particles from clogging the HVR, hang the end of the HVR hose from the outer ring.
  Inspect the flame at the burner to ensure a proper flame.

• To protect your fire pit from weather, always keep your fire pit covered while not in use. The cover must be removed and stored safely away from the fire pit when the fire pit is in use.

• If the fire pit is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder and the cylinder should be disconnected from the fire pit. Storage of the fire pit indoors is only permissible if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the fire pit.

CLEANING
Clean the stand of the fire pit using hot soapy water. High-temperature spray paint can be used to touch up any scratches in the paint. Use a wire brush to remove any loose paint before touching up. Make sure to dry thoroughly before use. The rocks can be removed from the fire pit and cleaned using soapy water or sprayed off using a hose sprayer. The outside of the burner may be wiped clean using soapy water. A pipe cleaner can be used to remove any spider webs from the venturi tube.
