Step 2: Assemble Legs
Required: The Main Grill Unit, (2) Right Legs,
(2) Left Legs, (8) 1/4” x 1-3/4” Hex Head Bolts.
Carefully remove the grill unit from the carton bottom,
and lay it on its back (use the flattened carton cap as a
protective surface). This is best performed with 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.
Remove and discard the 2 shipping brackets and bolts
from the bottom of the unit by removing the 4 bolts
holding them to the base. Also remove and discard the
4 bolts above these (fig 2A).Attach the two right legs
(with the large hole at the bottom end) to the right side
of the base using (4) 1/4” x 1-3/4” bolts. Ensure that the
sides with the 2 small holes, about 6 inches from each
end, are facing inwards. Tighten the bolts only finger tight
(Fig 2B). Repeat for the left legs.

casters into the inserts (Fig 4A).
Tap an axle cap onto 1 end of the axle. Slide a wheel onto the axle flush against the cap. Insert the end of the
axle down through the large holes at the bottom of the right legs. Lift the bottom of the legs up enough to
place the other wheel onto the axle (Fig 4B).
Install the upper door support to the front corners of the grill base with 2 self-tapping screws (Fig 4C).
Carefully lift the grill assembly off its back onto the wheels and casters (2 people). Tap the other axle cap

Required: Front door, (2) leg panels, (8) self tap screws, (2) shoulder screws, (1) nylon insert nut.
Fasten the two leg panels to the bottom pan (from behind the panels) with 2 screws each, then to the upper
door support with (2) screws each (fig 6A).
Snap the nylon insert nut into the square hole at the left side of the bottom pan opening. Assemble the door
by inserting the top hinge pin at the left side of the upper door support into the hole in the top door flange,
then attach the bottom left flange of the door to the insert nut in bottom pan with the shoulder screw (Fig
6B). The door should swing freely. Screw 2 nd Shoulder screw into base panel to act as a door stop (locate

Step 7: Install grease pan and cup
Required: grease pan, grease cup, grease cup holder.
Assemble the grease pan into position at the bottom
of the grill base from the left side. The base has a
guide track so the pan can easily slide in and out.
Start the narrow end of the pan into the track, and
slide in half way.
Insert a grease cup into the cup holder, then hook
the holder onto the slots at the end of the pan.
Slide the pan in fully (Fig 7).
Step 8: Assemble Base Side Panels
Required: (2) Base side Panels, Rear Panel, (4/8*) shoulder screws, (10/6*) self tap screws. *Natural models
Screw (2) shoulder screws into the inside face of each left leg. Attach the base panel to the left side by
hooking the four slots in the edges of the panel over the shoulder screws, and pushing the panel downwards
(Fig 8A). Repeat for the right side if the grill is a natural gas model. If the grill is an LP model, assemble the
concave right base panel to the right legs with (4) self-tapping screws (Fig 8B). Ensure the propane regula-
tor is outside the panel, with the hose in the notch at the upper left corner of the panel. This panel is not
removable like the left panel (Fig. 8C).
Insert the bottom panels of the cabinet by placing the lips of the panels on the front and rear leg brace. For
Propane Models, the panel with the holes is to be placed on the right and secured with four self-tapping
screws.

Position the three cooking grates in the base with the
finger holes towards the front. Slip the rear lip of the
warming rack into the two supports extending up at
the rear of the base (rotisserie burner housing model
