7.  PLACING THE GREASE BUCKET

 

Parts Required:

1  x  Grease Bucket 

(#11)

 Installation:

•  Place the grease bucket on the spout hook on the end of the main 

barrel. Ensure it is level to avoid grease spills. 

8.  INSTALLING THE COOKING COMPONENTS

 

Parts Required:

2  x  Cooking Grids 

(#1)

1  x  Flame Diffuser 

(#5)

 Installation:

•  Insert the flame diffuser into the main grill. Rest the flame diffuser on 

the built-in ledge (on the inside right) of the main grill that directs grease 

towards the grease bucket. Slide the entire piece to the left side, and the 

two slots on the flame broiler main plate will fit into the rounded ledge 

above the burn pot. It will sit slightly at a downward angle. 

NOTE: If the flame diffuser is on the base of the barrel, it is installed incorrectly.

•  Place the cooking grids, side-by-side, on the grid ledge inside the main 

grill barrel.

•  The unit is now completely assembled. 

NOTE:  To maintain the searing and grilling performance of your cooking 

grids, regular care and maintenance Is required.

9.  CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE 

NOTE: Before plugging your Pit Boss into any electrical outlet, ensure 

the temperature dial is in the OFF position.

• 

STANDARD OUTLET

 

This appliance requires 110 volt, 60hz, 275w, 5 amp service. It must be a 

3-prong grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken off before 

use. The control uses a 5 amp, 120 volt, fast-blow fuse to protect the 

board from the igniter. 

• 

GFCI OUTLETS

  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.

• 

ON THE ROAD

 

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.
