TROUBLESHOOTING
Every Street Fire Ignition undergoes numerous quality control checks including a four hour burn-in test. If you
experience a problem with your ignition, our research has shown that the majority of problems are due to improper
installation or poor connections.
The Troubleshooting section has several checks and tests you can perform to ensure proper installation and operation
of the Street Fire Ignition. If you have any questions, call our Customer Support Department at (915) 855-7123, 7
