Step 2: Position main grill head.
Required: Main Grill Unit.
Carefully lay the main grill unit on its back, using
the flattened carton cap as a protective surface.
This operation is best performed by two (2) people.
Use of gloves is recommended.
Ensure the front lid does not fall open while moving
the unit.
Allow the lid to rest partially open once the unit is on
its back (Fig. 2).

Step 4: Assemble Legs to Grill Unit
Required: (8) 1/4-20 x 1 1/2” bolts
Position the leg assembly into the base unit
until the two round bolt holes align with the
thread inserts in the legs, as shown. Ensure
the tank hole (on LP models) is at the right
hand end of the grill. Assemble with two (2)
bolts per leg, leaving the bolts loose by 3 or
4 threads. See Fig. 4.

Step 5: Assemble Casters
Required: (4) Casters
Push a caster into the bottom of each leg as far as possible.
Ensure the casters are locked; i.e., the locking tabs are in
the “down” position, as shown.
Carefully stand the grill upright while securing the front
lid from falling closed. Again, two people are recom-
mended for performing this.
Step 6: Install Front Panel
Required: the Front Panel; (4) Plastic Push-pins
Position the Front Panel between the front grill legs, aligning
the two (2) holes in the side flanges of the panel with those
in the legs. Push a pin into each hole as far as possible. It
may be necessary to lightly tap the pins.
See Fig. 6.

Step 7: Install Grease Cup, Cup Holder,
and Pan.
Required: Grease pan, grease cup and grease
cup holder
Assemble the cup holder into grease pan opening
by squeezing the ends in slightly, then releasing.
Place a grease cup into the holder, as shown in
Fig. 7a.
Position the grease pan into the back side of the
grill just below the back panel—with the grease
cup at the right end—on the two (2) support rails.
Push the pan in squarely until it settles into the
recesses of the supports (Fig. 7b).
Step 8: Assemble side shelf brackets
Required: (2) right shelf brackets, (2) left shelf
brackets, (4) spring clips
Push a spring clip over the underside end hole
in each bracket, as shown (Figs. 8a and 8b).
Attach a right and a left bracket over the leg
attachment bolts, then push the brackets down
fully (Fig. 8c). Tighten the four (4) bolts fully
(Fig. 8d).
Repeat on the other side.

Step 9: Assemble side shelves.
Required: (2) side shelves; (1) left and (1) right
front shelf; (6) #10-24 x
1
/ 2 ” bolts;
(2) #10 locknuts
Hook the left and right front shelves over the
corresponding front shelf supports, and push them
toward the grill base. Attach to the bottom of the
control console with (1) bolt and (1) nut each
(Fig. 9a).
Assemble the side shelves to the brackets by posi-
tioning them halfway over the brackets, then sliding
them towards the grill while pushing down firmly
on the front edge. The slots at the front edge of the
shelves should align with the tabs at the back of the
shelf supports (Fig. 9b).
NOTE: On models with Side Burners, assemble the
shelf with the open center to the right-hand side of
the grill. After completing this step, follow the
instructions in the Side Burner Kit.
Tap the shelf lightly, if necessary, to fully engage
the slot and tab. Once aligned, fasten with a bolt
through the spring clips (Fig. 9c).

Step 10: Install Internal Components
Required: (3) sear plates, (2) cooking grates,
warming rack
Refer to Fig. 10.
Place the sear plates into the base unit ensuring that edges
with the finger holes face the grill front, and the side
edges face down.
Position the cooking grates into the base similarly; these
may be turned over to provide a flat surface for delicate
foods.
Set the warming rack into the two supports in the ends of
the rear lid.
Step 11: Install the LP cylinder
(LP models only)
Required: LP gas cylinder (not supplied)
NOTE: Before lighting the grill, refer to the
owner’s manual for proper cylinder
specifications, filling requirements,
regulator attachment and leak testing
procedures.
