noisecan be heard
from spark module.
• Deadbattery.
SECTION II
No sparks appear at
any electrodes when
burner control knobs
are turned to_; noise

SECTION ill
Sparks are present
but not at all
electrodes and/or not
at full strength
• Check battery orientation.
• Installbattery(makesurethat"+" and "-"
connectorsare orientedcorrectly,with "+" end up
, Has batterybeen used
previously?
and "-" end down.)
, Replacebatterywith newAA-sizealkalinebattery.
, Batterycap not
installedproperly.
, Faultyspark module.
, Outputlead
connections not
connected.
, Electrodetip not in
properposition.
, Outputlead
connections not
connected.
, Arcingto grill away
from burner(s).
, Weakbattery.
, Electrodesare wet.
, Electrodescrackedor
broken"sparksat
crack".
, Checkto ensurebatterycap
is fully engaged.
, If no sparksare generated
with newbatteryandgood
wireconnections,moduleis
faulty.
, Are output connections on
and tight?
, Are the electrodetips
pointingin the right
direction?Is the gap too big?
, Are output connections on
and tight?
, If possible,observegrill in
darklocation.Operate
ignitionsystemand lookfor
arcingbetweenoutputwires
and grill frame.
, All sparkspresentbutweak
or at slow rate.
, Has moistureaccumulated
on electrodeand/orin burner
ports?
, Inspectelectrodesfor
cracks.
, Removebatterycap and reinstall,makingsure it
can be fully engaged.
, Replacespark moduleassembly.
, Removeand reconnectall output connections at
moduleand electrodes.
