previously?
. Checkto ensurebutton
assemblyis fully engaged.
Buttonshouldtravel up and
downwithoutbinding.
. If no sparksare generated
with newbatteryand good
wireconnections,moduleis
faulty.
. Are outputconnections on
and tight?
. Are the electrodetips
pointingin the right
direction?Is the gap too big?
. Are outputconnections on
and tight?
. If possible,observegrill in
darklocation.Operate
ignitionsystemand lookfor

and grill frame.
. All sparkspresentbutweak
or at slow rate.
. Has moistureaccumulated
on electrodeand/orin burner
ports?
. Inspectelectrodesfor

. Installbattery(makesure that"+" and "-"
connectors are orientedcorrectly,with "+" end up
and "-" end down.)
. Replacebatterywith newAA-sizealkalinebattery.
. Removebuttoncap assembly and reinstall,making
sureit canbe fully engaged.
. Replacespark moduleassembly.
. Removeand reconnectall outputconnections at
moduleand electrodes.
