Connecting To A Power Source - Pit Boss COMPETITION Serie Montaje Y Operación

CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE

• STANDARD OUTLET
This appliance requires 110-120 volt, 60 Hz, 250 w. It must be a 3-prong grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not
broken off before use. The control uses a 110-120 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.
