Parts Required:
12 x Cooking Grid Support Brackets
(#2)
5 x Cooking Grids
(#1)
1 x Water Pan
(#13)
1 x Flame Tamer
(#14)
Installation:
• Insert six cooking grid support brackets into the holes along the left
side wall of the interior main cabinet. Once positioned in the holes, tilt
downward to secure into position. Repeat the same process, matching
the same heights, for the right side wall. Note illustration 15.
• Place the flame tamer over the burn pot at the bottom of the interior
main cabinet. To ensure proper positioning, align the flame tamer into
the grooves along the bottom of the base panel. Note illustration 15.
IMPORTANT: The ventilation windows on the sides of the flame tamer
box must not face forward, towards the cabinet door. This may cause
damage to the control board if flames are too large.
• Next, insert the water pan into the lowest grid support brackets of the
interior cabinet. Fill your water pan about ¾ full of water.
IMPORTANT: Keep water in the water pan at all times while cooking.
It will catch grease and drippings from your cooks and allow for easier
clean up. If smoking for an extended period of time, move water pan up
higher to allow water to last longer.
• Last, place the cooking grids, one-by-one, on the grid support
brackets inside the main cabinet. Note illustration 15. The unit is now
completely assembled.

NOTE: Before plugging your Pit Boss into any electrical outlet, ensure the
temperature dial is in the OFF position. Disconnect unit when not in use.
•
This unit requires 120 volt, 60hz, 250w, 2.1 amp service. It must be a 3-prong
grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken off. The control uses a
5 amp, 120 volt, fast-blow fuse to protect the board from the igniter.
•
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. The quality
of the GFCI does not matter, but rather the sensitivity; each time it
trips, it increases in sensitivity. If the GFCI keeps tripping, replace the
outlet or change to a non-GFCI outlet.
•
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.
