OPERATION
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD: For outdoor use ONLY. NEVER use inside the house or other
unventilated or enclosed areas. This re pit consumes air (oxygen). DO NOT use in unventilated

BEFORE TURNING THE GAS SUPPLY
1. Your re pit was designed and approved for outdoor use only. DO NOT use it inside a building, garage or
any other enclosed area.
2. Make sure surrounding areas are free of combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors or
liquids.
3. Ensure that there is no obstruction to air ventilation. Be sure all gas connections are tight and there are
no leaks.
4. Be sure the cylinder cover is clear of debris. Be sure any component removed during assembly or servicing
is replaced and fastened prior to starting.
BEFORE LIGHTING
1. The re pit should be thoroughly inspected before each use and by a qualied service person at least
annually. If relighting a hot re pit, always wait at least 5 minutes.
2. Inspect the hose assembly for evidence of excessive abrasion, cuts or wear. Suspected areas should
be leak tested. If the hose leaks, it must be replaced prior to operation. Only use the replacement hose
assembly specied by the manufacturer.
