TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR GRILL IGNITION SYSTEM
If you have do not have a strong spark or have no spark at
all, use the following steps to remedy the problem.
• Make sure the wires are securely plugged into the generator.
Ground point
3/16"
• Inspect the wires to make sure the insulation is not cracked or
frayed, and the ground wire is securely fastened to the frame.
• If you have the battery spark generator, replace the battery
with a new one.
• Check the spark gap on the electrode. It should be 3/16"
between the tip of the electrode wire and the sparking
(ground) point (see Fig. 2-1). Make sure the electrode is
secure in the collector box, and the collector box is secure
to the frame. Consult your grill installation instructions for the
position of the collector box.
• Air shutter adjustment can affect ignition. Consult your grill
installation instructions (AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT) for
proper adjustment settings.
