Typical base installation for a wood deck

After assembling the base according to the assembly instructions, position the base assembly on your deck for anchoring.

CAUTION: Combustible materials should never be within 24 inches of the top, bottom, back or sides of the barbecue. Do not locate under overhead combustible construction.

Note - With the lid open, the depth of the barbecue is 28 inches, front to back. After positioning, level the base. (See Step "Level the base.")

After leveling, anchor the base to the deck. We recommend using a minimum of a 3/8 inch x 1 1/2 inch lag bolt with a 3/8 inch flat washer. Figure 9.

Note - Use a 3/16 inch drill bit for drilling a pilot hole for a 3/8 inch lag bolt.
