Remove all items from inside grill body and lay grill body on its back. For ease of assembly,
complete steps 1-5 below before standing grill upright.

area and it helps prevent the grill from getting scratched or damaged during
installation.

Attach legs with fixed wheels (#3) on the left side, with wheels facing outward to the front and
back
of grill. Attach legs with the rotating casters (#2) on the right side of the grill.

STEP 3 – Attach Bottom Shelf
Align shelf (#4) between grill legs and attach using 4 bolts (A), flat washers (B), lock washers
(C)
and nuts (D).

handle.
STEP 5 – Grill Handle Assembly
Attach the grill handle (#5) to grill lid using the small bolts that are screwed into handle.
Proper placement will result in the handle facing inward with the tip slightly upward.
STEP 6 – Stand Grill Upright

notches in the flame deflector over the small tabs located at the inside front and rear of the
grill body.
Install Drip Pan (#8) with the short lip sitting on the left-side drip pan support and
the longer lip resting on the right-side lower support. Make sure to leave equal gapping
between Drip Pan and front and back chamber walls to ensure even heat distribution.

(TIP: many customers line their drip pan with aluminum foil for easier clean up. When lining drip
pan, keep foil inside drip pan edges and do not wrap around as this can restrict airflow.)
