Step 16

Install side burner

You will need: side burner assembly, 5/8 inch, 11/16 inch and 3/4 inch or two adjustable wrenches.

WARNING: No sealant is required on the side burner fitting. Do not use pipe dope, tape or any other type of sealant on the fitting or hose.

Use an 11/16 inch wrench to remove the protective brass cap from the side burner fitting on the manifold. Figure 20 (a).

CAUTION: When removing the cap use a 5/8 inch wrench to "hold" the side burner fitting to keep it from becoming loose. If the side burner fitting should loosen, tighten before attaching the side burner hose.

Slide the side burner assembly into the open end of the right frame. Route the side burner hose so that it parallels the front of the barbecue. Loop the hose so that it is in front of the barbecue gas supply line, and reaches the side burner fitting without strain. Attach hose and tighten using a 3/4 inch wrench. Figure 20 (b). Install burner grate. Check to be sure the side burner valve is OFF. Push the side burner control knob down and turn clockwise.
