2.Light the grill burners using the instructions on the previous page.

Push the rod through the center of the food, then slide the other holder (prongs toward the food) onto the rod. Cen- ter the meat on the rod and push the fork assemblies firmly together. Tighten the thumbscrews. To secure any loose portions of your meat, use butcher string (never use nylon or plastic string). Place a basting pan under the food to collect the drippings.
2.To use the rotisserie, first mount the motor on the left side of the grill. Place securely onto support bracket.
3.The rod of the rotisserie system is assembled into the motor by placing the pointed end into the motor and resting the threaded end on the support at the side of the grill. Once the rod is pushed as far as possible into the motor, the grooved end of the rod should rest on the right side bracket.
4.If necessary, to offset unbalanced loads, slide the counter weight on to the rod. With the counter weight loose, allow the loaded rod to rotate and come to a stop. Now rotate the counter weight above the rod in a vertical position and tighten the thumbscrew. You can slide the counter weight away from or closer to the rotisserie rod as needed for balanced operation. Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperature in about one minute. The orange/red glow will even out in about five minutes.
