The LP gas tank is NOT included with the gas re pit.
SAFE HANDLING FOR LP GAS TANK:
• Do not use a damaged, dented or rusty LP tank.
• Handle empty LP tanks with the same care as you handle full tanks. Even when the LP tank is
empty of liquid, there may still be gas pressure inside the cylinder.
• LP gas tanks should never be dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures can reach 125 °F (51.7 °C).
• LP tanks must be kept out of reach of children.
STORAGE OR NON-USE:
• Store the LP gas tank outdoors in a well-ventilated place.
• Do not store the LP gas tank in direct sunlight or near a source of heat or combustion.
• If you intend to store the re pit indoors, disconnect and remove the LP gas tank rst. Discon-
nected tanks must have a dust cap installed and must not be stored in a building, garage or any
other enclosed area.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
• When the LP gas tank is connected to the gas re pit, the gas re pit and LP gas tank must be
stored outside in a well-ventilated place.
U.S. INSTALLATION CODE:
Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition
of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223. 1/NFPA 54.
CANADIAN INSTALLATION CODES:
These instructions, while generally acceptable, do not necessarily comply with the Canadian instal-
lation codes, particularly with piping above and above ground. In Canada, the installation of this
appliance must comply with local codes and/or the latest edition of Standard CAN/CSA-B149.2
(Propane Storage and Handling Code).
REGULATOR CONNECTIONS:
Your Ukiah Co gas re pit is equipped with a pressure regulator, which is a device to control and
maintain uniform gas pressure as gas is released from the LP cylinder. This pressure regulator is
designed for vapor withdrawal.
INSTALLING THE LP TANK:
CAUTION: Use tanks that are marked “Propane Fuel” only.
1. Make sure gas control knob is turned “OFF” by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off
position.
2. While holding carrying handle closest to propane cylinder, push propane cylinder into regulator
and turn clockwise until tight.
WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection. Using a wrench could damage the
regulator coupling and cause a leak.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

12
REMOVING THE LP TANK:
When the LP tank needs to be replaced, follow these instructions to remove it.
1. Make sure gas control knob is turned “OFF” by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off
position.
2. While holding carrying handle closest to propane cylinder with one hand, unscrew propane
cylinder from regulator.
LEAK TESTING:
All factory-made connections have been thoroughly tested for gas leaks. However, shipping and
handling may have loosened a gas tting.
AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION:
• TEST ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE USING YOUR GAS FIRE PIT.
• TEST THE CYLINDER VALVE FOR LEAKS EACH TIME THE CYLINDER IS FILLED.
• TEST FOR LEAKS EVERY TIME YOU CONNECT A GAS FITTING.
• DO NOT SMOKE WHILE TESTING FOR LEAKS.
• NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A LIGHTED MATCH OR OPEN FLAME.
• TEST FOR LEAKS OUTDOORS.
DANGER: Do NOT use an open ame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or
open ames in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open ames will result in a re or ex-
plosion, which could result in serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.
WARNING: To prevent a re or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
• Always perform a leak test before lighting the re pit and each time the cylinder is connected for
use.
• No smoking. Do NOT use or permit sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
• Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
• Do NOT use matches, lighters, or a ame to check for leaks.
• The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair the consumer’s ability to
properly assemble or safely operate the appliance.
• Strong odors, colds, sinus congestion, etc. may prevent the detection of propane. Use caution
and common sense when testing for leaks.
• Do NOT use grill until any and all leaks are corrected. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect
the LP gas supply. Call a gas appliance serviceman or your local LP gas supplier.
TO TEST FOR LEAKS:
1. Extinguish any open ame or cigarettes in the area.
2. Check the cylinder valve and appliance valves are in the “OFF” position.
3. Connect LP gas cylinder.
4. Prepare a soap solution of one-part water, one-part liquid detergent.
5. With a full gas cylinder, open cylinder slowly.
6. Brush the soap solution on each connection and along the hose.
7. A leak is identied by a ow of bubbles from the area of the leak.
8. If a leak is detected, close the gas cylinder “shut-off” valve, tighten the connection and retest
(Step 5)
9. If the leak persists, do not attempt to operate appliance and contact Ukish Co.

13
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING
• Make sure you are familiar with the owner’s manual and you understand all precautions noted.
• Before operating, smell around the appliance and next to the ground for gas odors because
some gases are heavier than air and may settle on the ground.
• Use only your hand to turn the gas control valve. Never use tools. If the valve will not turn (that is,
without the use of a tool), do not try to repair it. Call a qualied service technician.
• Do not use the appliance if any part has been submerged in water. Immediately call a qualied
service technician to inspect the unit and to replace any part of the control system and any gas
control that has been under water.
• Make sure the igniter batteries have been installed properly. The igniter will not operate other-
wise.
• Inspect hoses to make sure there are no kinks in them and check for leaks.
• After connecting the gas line and checking for leaks, the unit is ready to be lit. Upon the initial
use, a small amount of air will be in the lines. When rst lighting the burner, it will take a few sec-
onds for the lines to purge themselves of this air.
• Once purging is complete, the burner will light and operate as indicated in the instruction manu-
al. Subsequent lighting of the unit will not require purging unless the gas supply has been discon-
nected.
WARNING: Read and follow the safety and lighting instructions in this manual and on the labels
on the appliance. IMPROPER SETUP OR USE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION RESULTING
IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
