Installation and Operating Instructions

Important: An external valve (with a removable
key) in the gas line is necessary for
safety when the barbecue is not in
use. It also provides for convenient
maintenance.
CONNECTING TO THE GAS SUPPLY
This post barbecue is capable of connecting to the
gas supply in a few different ways. The connection
can be made inside the post, under the post base,
or out the back of the post.
The gas must be hooked up so that it passes through
the timer (and regulator, if equipped) located in the
post. To access the timer, unscrew and remove the
access plate in the back of the post using a No. 3
Phillips-head screwdriver. Retain the screws.
To connect through the post, remove the knock-
out disk at the bottom of the access plate with
a large standard screwdriver by inserting the
screwdriver into the notch provided in the center
of the knock-out. Remove the plastic grommet
fastened to the inside of the post and insert it into
the newly created opening prior to passing the gas
connection through the opening.
To connect through the post base, run the gas
connection through the hole provided in the center
of the post base.
When fi nished, replace access plate and tighten
the four screws provided.
