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.
ƽCAUTION: 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.
ƽWARNING: The base must be bolted down
(anchored) at ALL four anchoring points prior to
barbecue assembly.
