GAS SMOKER GENERAL WARNINGS

This instruction manual contains important information necessary for the proper assembly and safe use of the appliance. Read and follow all warnings and instructions before assembling and using the appliance. Follow all warnings and instructions when using the appliance.

Never use or store gasoline, lighter fluid, paint thinner, or other flammable vapors and liquids or combustible

materials in or near your smoker.

Never use charcoal, lava rocks or wood briquets in a gas smoker. Flavoring chips must be contained in a metal

smoking box to contain ash and prevent fires.

3 Ensure flames come out of all burner ports at each use. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner

tubes. Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the burners and could result in a burner tube fire or fire beneath the smoker. 4

Position your smoker outdoors on a non-combustible level surface in a well ventilated location, a safe distance 10

ft. (3.1 m) from combustible materials, buildings and overhangs. 5 Maintain a minimum clearance of 36 inches (91 cm) between all sides of smoker, deck railings, walls or other

combustible material. Not adhering to these clearances may prevent proper ventilation and can increase the risk

of a fire and/or property damage, which could also result in personal injury. DO NOT use smoker under overhead

unprotected combustible construction.

6 DO NOT leave the smoker unattended while ON or in use. 7 DO NOT use or install this smoker in or on a recreational vehicle and/or boat. 8

DO NOT allow grease or hot drippings to fall on hose and regulator assembly. If this occurs, turn gas supply OFF

at once. Empty grease

FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT operate indoors or in an enclosed area such as a garage, shed or breezeway.

Keep children and pets away from hot smoker. DO NOT allow children to use or play near this smoker.

DO NOT use water on a grease fire. Closing the lid to extinguish a grease fire is not possible.

DO NOT allow the gas hose to come in contact with hot surfaces. Redirect the gas hose if necessary. 16

NOT block ventilation areas in sides, back or cart compartment of smoker.

Never check for leaks using a match or open flame.

14 DO NOT store items in cart that can catch fire or damage your smoker (such as swimming pool supplies/ chemicals, table cloth, wood chips).

tray/cup and clean the hose and regulator assembly and inspect for damage before use.

LP Gas Cylinder Installation

WARNINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS

• Only connect this smoker to a Type 1 cylinder valve. The Type 1 valve can be identied with the large external threads on the valve outlet. Do NOT connect to a propane cylinder other than a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) capacity.

•

• Do NOT connect to a cylinder that uses any other type of valve connection device.

• Inspect the propane tank valve rubber seal for cracks, wear or deterioration prior to use. A damaged rubber seal can cause a gas leak, possibly resulting in an explosion, re or severe bodily harm.

• Turn o the cylinder valve when your smoker is not in use.

• Handle the tank with care.

• Always secure the cylinder in an upright position.

• Never connect an unregulated LP gas cylinder to your smoker.

• DO NOT expose LP gas cylinders to excessive heat or ignition sources.

• DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near your smoker.

• Never ll an LP cylinder beyond 80% full.

• If the instructions above are not followed exactly, a re causing death or serious injury may occur.

• Read and follow all warnings and instructions that are on the cylinder and that accompany this product.

DANGER

• DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder (full or empty) under or near your smoker. This could cause excess pressure to be expelled through the vapor relief valve resulting in re, explosion, or severe personal injury, including death.

• Propane gas is heavier than air and will collect in low areas. Proper ventilation is extremely important. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the LP gas cylinder enclosure free and clear from obstructions and debris.

• DO NOT insert any foreign objects into the cylinder valve outlet as this could damage the rubber seal. Do not use propane tank with a damaged rubber seal. A damaged rubber seal can cause a gas leak, possibly resulting in explosion, re, severe bodily harm, or death. Inspect rubber seal for cracks, wear or deterioration prior to use.

• Always keep cylinder (tank) in upright position during use, transit or storage.

Hose & Regulator Installation

WARNINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS

•

DO NOT attempt to connect smoker, as purchased for LP (propane) gas, to any other fuel supply source

such as a natural gas line. Do not use any other pressure regulator/hose assembly other than the one supplied with your smoker.

•

Replacement pressure regulator/hose assembly must be part No 601-B, KR-106, RJ-A3, which can be obtained by contacting Pit Boss customer service at 1-877-303-3134.

• Do not attempt to adjust or repair a regulator. The regulator is designed to operate at a maximum output pressure of 11 inches of water column (2.74 kPa).

• Ensure the tank valve is closed prior to connecting the LP gas cylinder to your smoker. Turn the valve knob clockwise to properly close the valve. Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the supply hose safety tags. Read and follow all warnings in thi hose and regulator before connecting cylinder to smoker.
