IN-GROUND POST INSTALLATION

The BP48 and SSP48 In-Ground Posts are only for use with Broilmaster Gas Grills. Before proceeding with installation read your Owner’s Manual for the proper location and minimum clearances to combustible ma- terials for your grill and in-ground post.

Verify that all parts listed in the exploded view of this product have been included before beginning this in- stallation.

Recommended Tools:

•Two adjustable wrenches or a socket set

•A medium Phillips screwdriver

•Pipe thread sealer or Teflon tape (for gas connec- tions)

•Soapy water solution (to test for leaks)

Dig a hole approximately 12" in diameter and 24" in depth at the desired grill location.

Note: “Normal Installation” height is achieved when the top of the 48" post (7) is 25 1/4" above ground. This height provides a cooking surface height of 34 1/2" above ground when grids are placed in the high level position.

Carefully lower the in-ground post into the hole using the following guidelines:

•The rectangular cut-out is located near the TOP of the post and should be above ground after installa- tion. Figure 1.

•The rectangular cut-out must face in the SAME direction as the front of the grill.

•Hole depth and post measurements should be checked to ensure desired height.

Note: Make any adjustments at this time.

Prepare concrete or a standard pre-mix according to the manufacturer’s package directions.

Position the 48" post in the center of the hole. A level should be used when aligning the post to achieve precise vertical alignment. Hold the post in place while pouring the concrete mixture into the hole around the post.

CAUTION: THE CONCRETE MIXTURE MUST NOT COVER THE GAS SUPPLY ENTRY HOLE ON THE POST. THE GAS SUPPLY ENTRY HOLE (2" DIAMETER HOLE) IS LOCATED 18 3/4" FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE POST.

Make a final alignment check with the level, and adjust as needed. Allow concrete to set (usually 24 hours).
