4. Operation

This action prevents the cover from being dislodged by wind and ensures a snug fit, maximizing protection against environmental factors.

If you encounter issues with your grill cover, consider the following:
- Cover Does Not Fit: Verify that your grill model is one of the compatible models (Pit Boss 340, 440, or 500FB2). Check the dimensions of your grill against the cover's specifications.
- Cover Blows Off in Wind: Ensure the drawstring is pulled tight and securely fastened around the base of the grill.
