Step 12

Install side burner

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

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

Use an 11/16 wrench to remove the protective brass cap from the side burner fitting on the manifold. Figure 14.

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 side burner hose.

Loop the hose so that it reaches the side burner fitting. Attach hose and tighten with a 3/4 inch wrench. Figure 15. Install burner grate. Check to be sure the side burner valve is OFF. Push side burner control knob down and turn clockwise.
