STEP 1: Cart
NOTE: This step requires two people to lift the grill and unfold the cart.
1. Have one person stand on the left side of the grill and another person stand on the right side
of grill. Then have each person hold the handle and lift the grill with one hand. When the grill
is fully unfolded and the side panels are straight, have each person place the crossbar into its
location with their other hand as shown in Fig. 1.
NOTE: Do not let go until the two crossbars are positioned onto the bolt as shown below. After
crossbars are in position, it is advised that you ensure that the spring pins have snapped into
place. This should have occurred as the side panels unfolded. These four spring pins help lock
the side panels in an upright position.

4. The side burner is now fully assembled. This step (part 4 of STEP 3: Right-Side Shelf) is
only necessary if you nd later that you cannot light the side burner by using the side burner
knob. Often, this is caused by poor alignment of the igniter tip with a hole in the side burner.
To adjust this alignment, grab the igniter tip with a pair of needlenose pliers as shown in
Fig. 4. Using gentle force, move the position of the tip so it is about 1/8”from the bottom
of one of the holes in the burner, as shown in Fig. 4g.

POST-ASSEMBLY
GAS CONNECTION
ONLY USE THE REGULATOR AND HOSE ASSEMBLY PROVIDED WITH THIS
GRILL. REPLACEMENT PRESSURE REGULATORS AND HOSE ASSEMBLIES
MUST BE THOSE SUPPLIED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
This is an LP (Liqueed Petroleum Gas) congured grill. Do not attempt to use a natural gas
supply unless the grill has been recongured for natural gas use.
The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CSA B149.1,
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, or CAN/CSA B149.2, Propane Storage and
Handling Code.
LP TANK REQUIREMENTS –
THE LP TANK USED WITH YOUR GRILL MUST MEET THE FOLLOWING:
1. Measurement: 12”(30.5-cm) diameter x 18”(45.7-cm) tall.
2. Maximum capacity: 20 lbs. (9 kg).
3. Constructed and marked in accordance with the specications for LP gas cylinders of the
U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-
B339, Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods. See LP
tank collar for marking.
4. Tank must be oriented to provide proper vapor withdrawal, as shown in Fig. 9.
5. Includes a collar to protect the tank valve.
6. Has no dents or rust. A dented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked
by your supplier.
7. Provides a shut-off valve terminating in an LP gas tank valve outlet specied, as applicable,
for connection type QCC1 in the standard for compressed gas tank valve outlet and inlet
connection ANSI/CGA V-1.
8. Other tanks may be acceptable for use with your grill provided they are compatible with the
tank retention means shown in Fig. 9.
LP TANK VALVE USED MUST MEET THE FOLLOWING:
1. Have type I outlet compatible with regulator provided.
2. Have safety relief valve.
3. UL-listed Overll Protection Device (OPD). This OPD safety feature is identied by a unique
triangular hand wheel. Only use tanks equipped with this type of valve (as the gure shown
on the next page).
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
Ensure that the black plastic grommets of the regulator provided are in place and that the hose
does not come into contact with the heat shield or the grill head.

CONNECT THE REGULATOR TO THE LP TANK – VERY IMPORTANT:
• THE REGULATOR SHALL NOT BE IN A LOCATION THAT WILL ATTAIN A
TEMPERATURE ABOVE 140°F (60°C).
• THE REGULATOR SHALL INCORPORATE A PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE OR
OVERPRESSURE DEVICE.
• THE INLET OF THE PRESSURE REGULATOR SHALL BE FITTED TO CONNECT THE
TYPE I CONNECTION OF THE TANK VALVE PER ANSI Z21.81/CSA 6.25.
1. Make sure tank valve is in its full OFF position (turn clockwise to stop).
2. Check tank valve to ensure it has proper external male threads (type I connection per ANSI
Z21.81/CSA 6.25).
3. Make sure all burner knobs are in their OFF position.
4.
Remove the protective cap from LP tank valve. Always use cap and strap supplied with valve.
5. Inspect valve connection port and regulator assembly. Look for any damage or debris.
Remove any debris. Inspect hose for damage. Never attempt to use damaged or plugged
equipment. Contact your local LP gas supplier for repair.
6. When connecting regulator assembly to the valve, hand-tighten nut clockwise to a positive
stop as shown in Fig. 10. Do not use a wrench to tighten. Use of a wrench may damage the
quick-coupling nut and result in a hazardous condition.
7.
Open tank valve fully (counterclockwise). Use a soapy water solution to check all connections
for leaks before attempting to light grill. If a leak is found, turn tank valve OFF and do not use
grill until a local LP gas supplier can make repairs.

POST-ASSEMBLY
GAS CONNECTION
• Never insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. It may damage the valve and cause
a leak. Leaking gas may result in re, explosion, heavy body injury, or even death.
• Do not connect this grill to the self-contained LP gas system of a motor home or camper
trailer.
• Do not use this grill until leak-tested.
• STOP and call the re department if any leaks are detected.
• If you cannot stop a gas leak, close the LP tank valve IMMEDIATELY and call the LP gas
supplier or the re department.
Failure to follow these instructions exactly WILL start a re causing death or serious
injury.
• NEVER store a spare LP tank under or near grill or in an enclosed area.
• NEVER ll the tank beyond 80% full. An overlled spare LP tank is dangerous because
surplus gas may leak from safety relief valve. The safety relief valve on an LP tank could
activate to release gas and cause a re.
• Place dust cap on tank valve outlet whenever the tank is not in use. Only install the type of
dust cap on the tank valve outlet that is provided with the tank valve. Other types of caps
or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
• If any gas leaks are found on the LP tank, IMMEDIATELY step away from the grill and call
the re department.
VERY IMPORTANT:
TO DISCONNECT LP GAS TANK:
1. Turn all the control knobs OFF.
2. Turn the tank valve off fully (turn clockwise to the stop).
3. Detach the regulator assembly from tank valve by turning the quick-coupling nut
counterclockwise.
4. Install the protective cap back onto the LP tank valve.
