Step 7
Complete frame assembly
You will need: partial frame assembly, one frame
connector with bushings, one frame connector without
bushings, four 1/4-20 x 2 inch bolts, four nylon washers
and a 7/16 inch wrench.
Hold the frame connector with the bushings between the
two upright frames above the front panel. Turn it so the
bushings are facing down. Add a nylon washer to the
bolt, put the bolts through the frame and screw into the
frame connector. Tighten.
The second frame connector has no bushings. Hold it in
place between the two upright frames. Add a nylon
washer to the bolt, put the bolts through the frame and
screw into the frame connector. Tighten. Figure 8.

hammer.
Insert the tubing plugs into the ends of the two upright

lightly with a hammer. Figure 9.

Step 9
Check the frame assembly
To avoid having to disassemble your Weber Gas
Barbecue in a later step, check the positioning of both
frame connectors before continuing with the assembly.
Turn the frame assembly over. The bushings in the front
frame connector should correspond with Figure 10.
The back frame connector has two 1/4 inch diameter
holes in the middle. These holes should be facing down.
