PRE-START CHECK LIST:
Property damage, bodily harm, severe burns, and death could result from failure to follow these
safety steps. These steps should be performed after the firepit has been assembled and prior to
each use. DO NOT operate this firepit until you have read and understand ALL of the warnings and
instructions in this manual.
PRE-START CHECK LIST:
• Ensure that the firepit is properly assembled.
• Inspect the gas supply hose for burns, chaffing, kinks, and proper routing before each use. If it is
evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior the firepit
being used. Replace with hose and regulator, Model No. 155-2200-0, which can be obtained by
contacting customer service at 800-527-0717.
• Leak check all gas connections and hose. See section on "Leak Testing".
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
LOCATION:
• Your firepit must be installed on flat, stable surface, away from any combustible materials or
construction.
• Use your firepit OUTDOORS in a well ventilated space away from dwellings or other buildings to
prevent dangers associated with gas accumulation and toxic vapors. We recommend your firepit be
situated at least 10 feet (3.1 m) from buildings. Not adhering to these clearances will prevent proper
ventilation and may increase the risk of a fire and/or property damage, which could also result in
personal injury
