7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Fire Pit Does Not Ignite
- Check Propane Tank: Ensure the propane tank is not empty and its valve is fully open.
- Igniter Spark: Verify that the igniter is producing a spark. If not, check the battery in the igniter (if applicable) or ensure the igniter wire is securely connected.
- Gas Flow: Ensure the gas line is not kinked or obstructed.
- Air in Line: If recently connected, there might be air in the gas line. Repeat the lighting procedure several times to purge air.
7.2 Low Flame or Inconsistent Flame
- Low Propane: The propane tank may be running low.
- Over-filling Protection Device (OPD): If the propane tank valve was opened too quickly, the OPD may have activated, restricting gas flow. Close the tank valve, turn off the fire pit control knob, wait 5 minutes, then slowly reopen the tank valve and try lighting again.
- Burner Ports: Check if burner ports are clogged with debris. Clean gently if necessary.
7.3 Gas Odor Detected
- Immediately turn off the gas at the propane tank valve.
- Evacuate the area.
- Do not attempt to light the fire pit or any other appliance.
- Contact emergency services or a qualified gas technician.
