SECTION ONE: ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
REMOVING THE SHIPPING SUPPORT:
As indicated on the diagram below, block up or otherwise support the Grill before
removing the Shipping Support in preparation for installing the Trailer Tongue Assembly
(71). Remove the two Lag Bolts securing the Shipping Support to the Pallet with your
7/16” wrench. Remove the Bolt attaching the Shipping Support to the Trailer Tongue
Receiver with your 3/4” wrench. Set the Shipping Support safely aside. Leave the
Shipping Brackets in place at this time.
INSTALLING THE TRAILER TONGUE ASSEMBLY:
Thread the Wire Harness (57) through the Trailer Tongue Assembly (71). Carefully slide
the Trailer Tongue Assembly (71) into the Trailer Tongue Receiver, centered on the
Trailer Frame (38). Be careful not to damage the wiring. Align the two holes in the
Trailer Tongue Assembly (71) with the two holes in the Trailer Tongue Receiver. Insert
a 1/2” x 4 1/2” Bolt (127) with Flat Washer into each hole and install Flat Washer, Lock
Washer and Nut. MAKE SURE THE 2 BOLTS ARE TIGHT. Attach the white ground
wire, with the ring connector, to the hex screw installed below the 2” Ball Hitch. Once
the Trailer Tongue Assembly (71) is installed, the Jack Stand can be used to help
support the Grill during subsequent assembly.

MOUNTING THE WHEELS:
With the Grill supported by the Jack Stand and the Pallet, remove the two Lag Bolts and
the Shipping Brackets on each end of the Axle (66). Raise one side of the Grill high
enough to install a Wheel (125) and securely block in place. Bolt a Wheel (125) on to
the Axle (66) with the Lug Nuts (128) provided. MAKE SURE ALL LUG NUTS ARE
TIGHT. Repeat this process on the opposite end of the Axle.
REMOVING THE COM190 FROM THE PALLET:
Remove any temporary blocking used to support the Grill so that it rests on the Wheels
(125). Put a board under each wheel as a ramp and carefully roll the COM190 off the
end of the pallet. Use the Trailer Tongue Assembly (71) to steer the Grill. Put the Jack
Stand down to help you move the Grill.
NOTE: IF AT THIS POINT YOU ARE READY TO START YOUR GRILL, REFER TO
THE INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS IN SECTION TWO OF THIS MANUAL OR ON
A SEPARATE SHEET IN THE PELLET HOPPER OR THE TOOL BOX, BEFORE
PROCEDING WITH FURTHER ASSEMBLY.
POSITIONING THE HEAT BAFFLES:
Position each Heat Baffle (226) directly over a Firepot (78) with the long legs pointing
downward. The notched leg of the Heat Baffle (226) fits over a Burner Assembly (51,
90) and into the Heat Baffle Support (132) found on the top of each Burner Assembly
(51, 90).
POSITIONING THE GREASE DRAIN PANS:
RECOMMENDATION for ease of clean-up: Line the Grease Drain Pans (228) with
heavy-duty aluminum foil. Be sure the edges and ends of the foil are tight against
the bottom of the Grease Drain Pans (228).
Position one Grease Drain Pan (228) so that the Short Lip end hooks over the Grease
Drain Pan Support (20) in the center of the Grill between the two Heat Baffles (226).
The Long Lip end should rest in one of the V-Shaped Grease Drains (13) located inside
the Grill on the right and left. The Short Lip end of the second Grease Drain Pan (228)
rests on the first in the center of the Grill with the Long Lip end placed in the V-Shaped
Grease Drain (13) on the opposite end of the Grill.
POSITIONING THE PORCELAIN GRILLS:
Position the Porcelain Grills (231) on the Grill Supports that run the length of the
cooking area.
HANGING THE GREASE BUCKETS:
Locate the Grease Drain Tubes, extending below the Grill on the right and left ends.
Hang a Grease Bucket (223) on each Bucket Hook.
