x
Grease Bucket (#21)
Installation:
•
Place the grease bucket on the spout hook on the end of the grease
trough. Ensure it is level to avoid grease spills.
•
The unit is now completely assembled.
14. CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
NOTE: Before plugging your Pit Boss into any electrical outlet, ensure
the temperature dial is in the OFF position.
•
STANDARD OUTLET
This appliance requires 120 volt, 60hz, 250w, 2.1amp service. It must
be a 3-prong grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken
off before use. The control uses a 5 amp, 120 volt, fast-blow fuse to
protect the board from the igniter.
GFCI OUTLETS
•
This appliance will work on most GFCI outlets, with a recommended
size of 15 amp service. If your GFCI outlet is highly sensitive to power
surges, it will likely trip during the start-up phase of operation. During
the start-up phase, the igniter draws 200-700 watts of electricity
which can be too much power for a GFCI outlet to handle. Each time it
trips, it increases in sensitivity. If the GFCI keeps tripping, replace the
outlet or change to a non-GFCI outlet.
ON THE ROAD
•
Disconnect the igniter from the main wiring harness. Use the manual
start-up procedure. A Pit Boss unit can operate using a 12 volt, 100 watt
inverter plugged into your automobile outlet. To use the automatic
igniter, it is recommended to use a minimum of a 1000 watt inverter.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect unit from power source when not in use.

Questions and answers
can I check the resistance of the main Temp probe to see if it is good?
To check the resistance of the main temperature probe for Pit Boss model PBVPS1, you need to access the electrical components at the base of the unit. Locate the temperature probe wires and ensure the spade connectors are firmly and correctly connected to the control board. Then, use a multimeter to measure the resistance across the temperature probe connectors. The exact resistance value is not provided, but you are checking for continuity and expected resistance range. If the reading is abnormal or shows no continuity, the probe may be faulty.
