Figure 4 Installation of Cage Nuts on Pedestal

4.Place lower grill casting on top of pedestal lining up four bolt holes (located just above air vents) with cage nuts just installed (see Fig. 5). Then insert the 4- 1/4" X 20" X 1 1/4" hex bolt each with a 1/4" flat washer and 1/4" lock washer. When all four are in place, tighten bolts securely.

Figure 5 Placement Holes in Lower Grill Casting for Hex Bolts

5.Install burner assembly into lower casting by inserting venturi tubes through lower casting (see Fig. 6). The burner has a spring clip to secure the burner in the casting. Be sure that the burner "snaps" into position.

6.Attach control panel to grill head. You will note that both of the bolts attached to the control panel have two nuts on them. Remove plastic thread protectors at the end of bolts and discard. Remove the top nut leaving the remaining nut (closest to the back of the control panel) to act as a spacer. Insert 3/4" bolts (pre-assembled on control panel) through holes on front of lower casting. Be sure you line up the venturis over the valve stems protruding from the back of the control panel (see Orifice Engagement). Attach nuts and leave slightly loose at this time to allow for adjustment (see Fig. 6). If the venturis do not align over the valve stems properly, they can be rotated slightly for proper adjustment.

ORIFICE ENGAGEMENT

At the end of each valve there is a tiny gas opening known as an orifice. Gas exits the orifice and enters the venturis where it mixes with air. The proper mixture of gas and air produces a clean blue flame with slight yellow tips from the burner.

BE CERTAIN THAT ORIFICES ARE ENGAGED INTO THE BURNER VENTURIS (see Fig. 7). Proper orifice engagement should be 1/4" to 3/8" into the venturis.

FAILURE TO PROPERLY ALIGN THISCONNECTION MAY CAUSE A FIRE ANDRESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR GRILL.

7.Insert feed line through the rear of the pedestal with the bent end coming through to the front of the pedestal. Attach 3/8" female brass flare nut to valve assembly.

NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT TO CROSS THREAD THIS FITTING. This is a brass to brass flared fitting,

IT WILL NOT REQUIRE ADDED SEALANT OR TEFLON TAPE. Once properly in place, tighten both control panel and feedline securely.
