Step 16
Install side burner
You will need: side burner assembly, 5/8 inch, 11/16
inch and 3/4 inch or two adjustable wrenches.
ƽWARNING: No sealant is required on the side
burner fitting. Do not use pipe dope, tape or any
other type of sealant on the fitting or hose.
Use an 11/16 inch wrench to remove the protective
brass cap from the side burner fitting on the manifold.
Figure 20 (a).
ƽCAUTION: 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 the side burner hose.
Slide the side burner assembly into the open end of the
right frame. Route the side burner hose so that it parallels
the front of the barbecue. Loop the hose so that it is in
front of the barbecue gas supply line, and reaches the
side burner fitting without strain. Attach hose and tighten
using a 3/4 inch wrench. Figure 20 (b). Install burner
grate. Check to be sure the side burner valve is OFF.
Push the side burner control knob down and turn
clockwise.
