Pit Boss CHARLESTON Instructions Manual page 3

1. Ensure the gas cylinder is purchased by a reputable supplier. An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP gas cylinder can be dangerous.
The overfilled condition combined with the warming of the LP gas cylinder (a hot summer day, gas cylinder left in the sun, etc.)
can cause LP gas to be released since the temperature increase causes gas to expand. Gas released from the cylinder is flammable
and can be explosive.
2. The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdraw. The LP gas tank used must have a collar to protect the tank valve.
Do not use an LP gas cylinder if it has a damaged valve or shows signs of dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, corrosion, leakage,
excessive rust, or other forms of visual external damage; it may be hazardous and should be checked immediately by a liquid
propane supplier.
If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the cylinder, do not attempt to light appliance. Extinguish any open
flame. Disconnect from fuel supply.
3. Do not connect or disconnect the gas cylinder while the unit is in use or is still hot. When the grill is not in use, ensure regulator knob
is turned to OFF and disconnect the gas cylinder. Never move or transport the unit while the gas cylinder is attached. Do not store a
spare LP gas cylinder under or near the appliance.
IMPORTANT! Always power off the appliance and allow the shut-down cycle to run. Unplug the appliance only once the
shut-down cycle is complete, and/or before cleaning. Failure to follow this warning can cause damage, serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
4. Appliance and cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any
other enclosed area. If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinders. Storage of
an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder(s) is (are) disconnected and removed from the outdoor
cooking gas appliance.
5. Always check for gas leaks when you connect and disconnect the regulator to the gas cylinder, especially after a period of storage
(for example, over winter). Check all connections for leaks with a soapy water solution and brush. Never use an open flame to
check for leaks.
6. This outdoor grill is not intended for installation in/on recreation vehicles or boats.
Never use this appliance in an enclosed space, such as a camper, tent, car, boat, or home. This appliance is not intended for
and should never be used as a heater.
7. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to this appliance. Keep the burner tube and air inlets clean and free from
debris. Clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit.
8. Clean and inspect the gas regulator before each use of the outdoor cooking gas appliance. Replace the gas regulator prior to being
used if there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear. Use only the gas regulator assembly that has been supplied with this gas grill.
Do not use a regulator from another manufacturer. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified
by the outdoor cooking gas appliance manufacturer.
Do not use lava rock, wood chunks, charcoal, lighter fluid, alcohol, or other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting.
Keep all such substances and liquids well away from appliance when in use.
9. Operate this appliance using liquefied petroleum only, which is also specified on the rating label on the unit. Do not attempt to
operate your grill on other gases. Do not attempt to convert this LP unit to natural gas. Failure to follow this warning could lead to
fire, bodily harm, and will void your warranty.
10. The location of the burner tube with respect to the orifice is vital for safe operation. Check to ensure the orifice is inside the
burner tube before using the gas grill. If the burner tube does not fit over the valve orifice, lighting the burner may cause
explosion and/or fire.
11. The liquefied petroleum (LP) cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of
the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission. Gas cylinder must also be provided with a listed overfilling prevention device.
12. The LP gas tank must have a shutoff valve, terminating in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet, that is compatible with a Type 1
tank connection device. The LP gas tank must also have a safety relief device that has a direct connection with the vapor space
of the tank.
