Placing The Grease Bucket; Connecting To A Power Source - Pit Boss PB1100PS1 Assembly And Operation Manual

14. PLACING THE GREASE BUCKET

Parts Required:
1 x Grease Bucket (#15)
Installation:
• Unscrew the six screws along the outside of the hopper that secure
the hopper safety screen to the interior and remove the safety screen
to access the grease bucket. Replace the hopper safety screen and
re-install the six screws to secure. Note illustration 14A.
• Place the grease bucket on the spout hook on the end of the main
barrel. Ensure it is level to avoid grease spills. Note illustration 14B.
• The unit is now completely assembled.

15. 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 120 volt, 60hz, 250W, 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. 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.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect unit from power source when not in use.
