DANGER
·EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD
·Never store propane near high heat, open flames,
pilot lights, direct sunlight, other ignition sources or
where temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49C).
·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.

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!

other reproductive harm.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
·Never leave fire pit unattended when hot or in use.
·Keep out of reach of children.
WARNING
Certain materials or items, when stored under the
fire pit, will be subjected to radiant heat and could be
seriously damaged.
CAUTION
SERVICE SAFETY
·Keep all connections and fittings clean. Make sure

way or use with any device.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
personal injury, or property damage.
WARNING
·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
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.

13
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
Fire pit does NOT reach the desired temperature.
Fire pit glow is excessively uneven.
Fire pit makes popping noises.
Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous condition can damage fire pit and
render it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by using a heavy-duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may
help clear away smaller particles.
Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean dome and burner screen with warm soapy water if
any carbon deposits develop.
Note: In a salt-air environment (such as near an ocean), corrosion occurs more quickly than normal.
Frequently check for corroded areas and repair them promptly.
TIP:
Use high-quality automobile wax to help maintain the appearance of
your fire pit. Apply to exterior surfaces from the pole down. Do not
apply to emitter screen or domes.
Storage
Between uses:
Turn Control Knob OFF.
Disconnect LP source.
Store fire pit upright in an area sheltered from direct contact with inclement weather (such as rain,
sleet, hail, snow, dust and debris).
If desired, cover fire pit to protect exterior surfaces and to help prevent build-up in air passages.
Note: Wait until fire pit is cool before covering.
During periods of extended inactivity or when transporting:
Turn Control Knob OFF.
Disconnect LP source and move to a secure, well-ventilated location outdoors.
Store fire pit upright in an area sheltered from direct contact with inclement weather (such as rain,
sleet, hail, snow, dust and debris).
If desired, cover fire pit to protect exterior surfaces and to help prevent build-up in air passages.
Never leave LP cylinder exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
Note: Wait until fire pit is cool before covering.
Make sure to properly locate the gas hose by keeping it out of pathways where people may
trip over it or in an area where the hose may be subject to accidental damage. Always
inspect the hose for evidence of excessive abrasion, cuts or wear prior to use, and make
sure to leak test.
