Your Weber Gas Barbecue burner assembly has been factory assembled, pressure and flame tested. As a safety precaution we recommend you check the burner alignment:

a)Do the valves fit into the ends of the burners? Figure 9(a).

b)Are the ends of the burners under the washers at the left rear and left front of the cooking box? The screws are only guides. Do not tighten. Figure 9 (b).

c)Are the wing nuts under the burner assembly hand tight? Do not tighten with pliers. Figure 9 (c).

If you answered YES to a, b and c, the burners are correctly aligned. If you answered NO, the burners are misaligned. Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service. Do not use your barbecue.
