CHIMP WOOD PELLET GRILL OPERATION MANUAL16
TROUBLESHOOTING and faq
The Chimp is very trouble-free in operation when
properly maintained and quality fuel is used. If the
Chimp fails to operate properly, use the following to
troubleshoot.
Why won’t my Chimp light?
Where do I get parts for my Chimp?
1. Check outlet and verify Control Panel is
powering up.
2. Make sure green LED light is on. This ensures outlet
is good and fuse on the board is good. If not,
check outlet and unplug grill and check fuse.
3. Turn Chimp “O."
4. Remove Lower Cooking Grate, Grease Pan, and
Heat Bae.
5. Clean area of burned and unburned pellets.
6. Turn Chimp “On."
7. Verify Auger begins to turn and fuel is dropping
into Fire Pot. If Auger is not turning see
previous section.
8. If Auger is turning but pellets are not coming out
ensure there are pellets in the Hopper if it ran
empty or this is the rst time for use, it will be
necessary to prime the Auger. This will ensure
pellets are at the end of the tube and will begin
dropping once unit is turned on.
9. Igniter should begin to turn red within
1 to 2 minutes.
1. Verify pellets are in the Hopper.
2. If this is the initial firing or the Chimp has run
out of pellets, allow sufficient time for the
pellets to travel from the Hopper to the Fire Pot
(may take up to 5 minutes).
3. Once pellets begin to drop, turn the
Chimp “Off” and then back “On” to
re-start Ignition Mode.
4. Ensure the Auger is turning by removing the
Lower Cooking Grate, Grease Pan and Heat Bae,
and visually checking the Auger.
5. If Auger is not turning check fuse on back of
controller and replace as necessary. If good,
contact Grilla Grills or visit our website to view
support videos.
Be sure to be ready with your name, phone number,
address, Chimp model number and serial number
(located inside the hopper lid), along with the part
identication number from the “Parts Diagram” on
pages 14/15.
