4Safety Precautions
© Travis Industries, Inc. 4110603 100-01265_000
! This firepit must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any.
! This firepit must only be used outdoors in a well-ventilated area. It may not be used in a
building, garage, or other enclosed space.
Installation
Do not install in or on cars, trucks, recreational
vehicles or boats.
Install this firepit only on a hard, level, non-
combustible surface such as concrete, rock or
stone. Note that an asphalt or blacktop surface may
not be acceptable. Do not use on wooden decks.
Do not force parts together as this can cause
personal injury or damage the product.
Do not use this firepit until it is completely
assembled and all parts are securely fastened and
tightened.
If required in your area, do not use this firepit unless
spark guards are securely in place.
Condo/townhome dwellers: Check with your
management for requirements and fire codes for
using an outdoor firepit in your complex. If allowed,
use outside on the ground floor.
Do not use on or under balconies.
Contact your local building officials to obtain a
permit and information on any installation
restrictions or inspection requirements in your area.
Fuel
Use this outdoor firepit with dry, seasoned
cordwood, which will create less smoke and burn
hotter and more completely.
Do not use this firepit with solid fuel, such as
charcoal briquettes, lump charcoal, manufactured
logs, driftwood, trash, leaves, paper, cardboard,
plywood, or painted, stained or treated wood. When
using softwoods such as pine or cedar, be aware of
sparks.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, lighter
fluid, or alcohol to light or relight fires.
Do not overload the firepit. Do not add additional
wood until the fire burns down. NOTE: If any portion
of the bowl, lid, or spark guards of the firepit are
glowing red this indicates it is overloaded.
GeneralUsage
Keep the firepit clean and free of leaves and debris
to ensure safe operation. Do not operate the firepit
without first ensuring it is clean.
Keep a portable fire extinguisher or other approved
extinguishing equipment, such as a garden hose,
readily available when operating this firepit.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
liquids or vapors within the vicinity (25 ft., or 7.6 m)
of this firepit.
The surfaces of this outdoor firepit are hot when in
use. To avoid burns, do not touch the firepit until it
has cooled completely (about 45 minutes), unless
wearing protective gear such as potholders, gloves,
and hot pads. Never touch ashes or coals to test if
they are hot.
Avoid breathing smoke from the fire and getting it
into your eyes.
Do not lean over the firepit when lighting or while it
is in use.
Do not place a hot spark guard or hot firepit tools
onto combustible surfaces such as grass, wooden
deck, or furniture.
Do not use this outdoor firepit for indoor heating. Toxic
carbon monoxide fumes can accumulate and cause
asphyxiation.
Keep all electrical cords away from a hot firepit.
Using alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs
may impair ability to properly assemble or safely
operate the firepit.
Donotoperatethefirepitif:
There is a lightning storm or a possible lightning
storm.
High wind conditions are present.
Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or
near the firepit.
If the firepit is not operating properly in any fashion
or if you are uncertain, call your dealer for a full
explanation of your firepit and what to expect.
Maintenance
Do not remove, replace, modify or substitute any
part of the firepit unless instructions are given in this
manual for routine maintenance and cleaning. A
trained technician must do all other work.
Allow the firepit, ashes, and coals to extinguish and
cool completely before moving, maintaining, or
cleaning.
Replace any screen or guard removed for servicing
before operating the firepit.
Do not use oven cleaner or abrasive cleaners as
they will damage the finish.
Check for signs of damage and creosote build-up
after storage or period of non-use. Do not operate
until necessary repairs or cleaning have been made.

included in this manual. The instructions in this
manual must be strictly adhered to. Do not use
