Rotisserie Operation Instructions
The motor assembly can now be placed into the tracks from the top, keeping the motor
to the top. The motor assembly will rest at the base of the bracket until you are ready to
cook.
Loading the spit: The spit rod will handle any single piece of meat up to 15” in diameter
provided the rod is inserted into the meat through dead center. Make every effort to
center the rod through the meat when loading. This will ensure maximum capacity and
balanced loading. Next secure the meat to the rod with the meat forks. Press the meat
forks well into the meat & tighten the set screw(s). Make every effort to maintain
centrifugal balance as well as distributing the weight evenly along the length of the rod.
Placing the spit on the charbroiler: This task may require two people. Place the rod into
the bearings. Make sure you have the rod positioned so that the pointed end is at the
opposite end of the motor. Lift the motor to the rod. You may have to push the rod away
from the motor in order to get it to the correct height for alignment. Guide the spit rod
into the socket at the motor output shaft. It will slide in 1”. Next rotate the rod by hand
and line up the hole in the drive socket with the hole in the rod. Insert the locking pin.
Gentle tapping may be required but shouldn’t. Crown Verity RT’s are precision machined.
Now you are ready to cook. Make sure the motor assembly is resting square in relation
to the spit rod before plugging in the motor.
Before Plugging In The Motor:
• Make sure the spit and it’s contents will turn freely without obstruction (trim excess
meat if necessary)
Before Turning On The Gas:
• Make sure the pins are in the roll dome.
• Make sure all set screws and fasteners are tight
• Let the rotisserie turn a few times and observe it’s operation
• Make sure that electrical cords and gas hoses are routed away from hot surfaces
Follow normal lighting procedures as outlined in the general instruction manual.
While cooking keep a close eye on what is happening; if something goes wrong, shut off
all burners, make any necessary adjustment sand begin again. Monitor the temperature.
MCB’s are capable of very high temps with the roll tops closed. The inside temperature
should never exceed 450F. You may experience premature bearing wear if this happens.
For low temperature cooking we recommend using the two outside burners with respect
to the roll dome(s). More or less burners may be required depending on weather
conditions. Keep a close eye on your meat, as it cooks it will shrink. You will have to
tighten the meat forks. Shut off the burners, back off the set screws & tighten the meat
forks. Be careful not to burn yourself on hot surfaces.
