  • Do not modify the product or use alternative fuels.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and avoid blocking vents.
  • Fire pits are strictly for outdoor use and should not be used to ignite other combustibles.
  • Maintain safe distances from combustibles and supervise the fire pit during operation.
Installation Guidelines:
  • Select a stable location with adequate drainage and clearance from structures and combustibles.
  • Install gas lines through designated access points to prevent pinching and tripping hazards.
  • For elevations above 2000 ft, de-rate the appliance by 4% for each additional 1000 ft.
Operation Instructions:
  • Avoid burning solid fuels or placing flammable materials near the fire pit.
  • Use an all-weather cover when the fire pit is not in use.
  • Initial start-up may require purging air from gas lines.
  • Follow specific lighting instructions for both manual and electronic ignition systems.
Maintenance:
  • Annual servicing by a certified professional is recommended.
  • Regularly check for secure connections and gas leaks.
Additional Information:
  • Includes a parts list for both manual and electronic ignition systems.
  • Provides instructions for LP gas conversion.
  • Contains a troubleshooting section for common issues.
Safety and Initial Setup: Before using the fire pit, thoroughly read the safety information and user manual. Allow 10 minutes to purge air from the system before activating the ON/OFF switch. Never leave the fire pit unattended by an adult.
Electronic Ignition System – Extinguishing: To extinguish, turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF and ensure the flame is out. Once cooled, cover the fire pit. If the flame does not stay lit, turn the key valve to OFF and contact a technician or gas supplier.
Maintenance: Ensure gas and power are off and the fire pit is cool before servicing. Keep the fire pit covered during adverse weather. Regularly clean debris and drain water from the brass tubing. A qualified technician should inspect the air-intake periodically. Clean cross-jet action nozzles annually and the pilot light nozzle, ignitor, and thermocouple every six months or as needed.
LP (Liquid Propane) Conversion: Conversion kits are available from Solus and should be installed by a certified Gas Fitter.
Troubleshooting: All burners are tested before shipping. Common issues include air in the gas line, inadequate gas pressure, incorrect gas type usage, ungrounded electrical lines, and water exposure. Solutions involve purging air, ensuring correct gas pressure, using appropriate conversion kits, and covering the fire pit to prevent water accumulation.
Specific Troubleshooting Issues:
  • No Pilot Flame: Purge air, clear debris, confirm gas pressure, and clean the pilot head.
  • Main Burner Won’t Light: Drain water, confirm gas pressure, clean pilot head and thermocouple, and ensure correct placement of lava rocks.
  • Main Burner Turning Off/On Frequently: Check gas pressure, clean pilot head, and replace defective thermocouple or temperature sensor.
  • Main Burner Flame/Pilot Flame Too Low or High: Adjust gas pressure and ensure correct gas type and conversion kit usage.
