Outdoor Great Room Santa Fe 36 - Manual (Page 5)

The log set and crushed lava rock are shipped together on applicable models. Remove the log set and un-pack all
components. Check for damage caused by freight / transport. DO NOT install damaged components. The logs are fragile
use care when handling.
Place the TRIPARO fire pit on a level/secure surface in a desired location. The location must be adjacent to the gas
supply cylinder or near the gas supply outlet of your house.
NOTE: Minimum clearances to combustible construction must be maintained.
You must have clear and easy access to the on/off valve AFTER the appliance is installed and connected to the gas
supply in order to safely turn of the burner.
THE ON/OFF VALVE IS USED TO TURN THE BURNER ON AND OFF.
NATURAL GAS
Connect the incoming gas supply line to the on/off gas valve of the appliance. Make certain ALL gas connections are tight,
turn the on/off valve at the unit to the ‘on’ position and use soap and water to test for leaks. Gas will be released at the
burner for this duration. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME & REMOVE BATTERY FROM IGNITER BEFORE
PERFORMING THIS TEST. An authorized gas appliance installer must provide this installation service. Note that
the correct natural gas orifice must also be installed prior to fuel line hook up to maintain proper flame height and clean
burn of fuel.
LP, (Liquid Propane), GAS
1. 20lb Propane cylinder should be positioned on a flat level surface near the fire pit, but within the pre-described
safe distance away.
2. Make sure the tank valve is in its full off position. (Turn clock-wise to stop)
3. Check tank valve features to ensure it has proper mating threads. Tank Valve Marked: USE WITH TYPE 1
4. Inspect hose shipped with the unit for damage. Never attempt to use damaged or plugged equipment. See your
local LP Gas Dealer for repairs.
5. After inspecting the LP hose shipped with the unit, connect the end with the female fitting on the hose to the male
fitting on the on/off gas valve at the end of the hose. Tighten fittings using 2 wrenches.
6. When connecting regulator assembly to the tank valve, hand tighten black QCC1 nut clockwise to a positive stop.
DO NOT use a wrench to tighten. Refer to image below for proper connection. Use of a wrenc h may damage the
quick closing coupling nut and result in a hazardous condition.
7. Locate the hose out of the pathways where people may trip over it or in areas where the hose may be subjected
to accidental damage.
8. Open tank valve fully (counter-clockwise). Turn the on/off valve at the unit to the ‘off’ position to pressurize the
hose assembly. Use a soapy water solution to check all the connections between the propane tank connection
and the ball valve at the back of the control panel for leaks before attempting to light the appliance. If a leak is
found, turn the tank valve off and do not use the appliance until repairs can be made. Note that the unit must be
turned upside-down to perform this examination. It is also important to remove battery from igniter before
performing any leak testing by unscrewing the push-button knob at the control panel. Perform leak test in
a well ventilated area outside and where no source of spark can occur.
9. If everything is secure and leak free to this point you are ready to light your TRIPARO fire pit. Read OPERATION
instructions.
ENCLOSURES FOR LP, (Liquid Propane), GAS SUPPLY SYSTEMS
