Operation; Auger Priming - Pit Boss PB150PPB Owner's Manual

1. With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big
part in the performance of your grill and the cooking time needed
to perfect your meals. This appliance must not be placed under
an overhead combustible ceiling or overhang (A). Keep your grill
in an area clear from combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids. Avoid plastic table tops due to high
temperatures of the unit.
All Pit Boss® units should keep a minimum clearance of 305mm (12
inches) from combustible constructions and this clearance must be
maintained while the grill is operational. (B)
2. Parts are located throughout the shipping carton, including
underneath the grill. Inspect the grill, parts, and hardware blister
pack after removing from the protective shipping carton. Discard
all packaging materials from inside and outside of the grill before
assembly, then review and inspect all parts by assembly guide.
If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble.
Contact your dealer or Pit Boss® Customer Care for parts.
3. Assemble the unit according to assembly guide instructions.
First time using your grill or whenever your grill runs out of pellets in the hopper, you will need to prime the auger. If not
primed, the grill will timeout before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start. Follow these steps to prime the auger:
1. Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or blocking the auger feed system.
2. Remove all cooking components from the interior of the grill. Locate the burn pot in the bottom of the pellet grill.
3. Plug the power cord into a power source.
4. Turn on the grill and turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Smoke (S) or Low (L) position.
• Check to make sure you hear the auger turning. Place your hand above the burn pot and feel for air movement. DO
NOT place your hands or fingers inside the burn pot, this can cause injury.
• After approximately a minute, you should smell the igniter burning and begin to feel the air getting warmer above
the burn pot. The igniter tip does not glow red but will get extremely hot and will burn. DO NOT touch the igniter.
5. Once verified that all electric components are working correctly, turn the grill off.
6. Fill the hopper with all natural hardwood barbecue pellets.
7. Turn the grill on. Keep the Temperature Control Dial in the Smoke (S) or Low (L) position.
8. Press and hold the Prime Button until you see pellets drop from the auger into the burn pot. Now you can release
the Prime Button.
9. You now can turn your grill off. Please make sure you allow your grill to stay plugged in until it finishes the cool down
cycle. Once the fan turns off, the grill has completed the shutdown cycle, it is safe to unplug your grill.
10. Re-install the cooking components into the main barrel.
11. Your grill is now primed and ready to use! If this is the first time you are using your grill, you should perform a First
Initial Grill Burn-off.
