UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY The grill arrives nearly ready to use and requires only minor assembly. By carefully following the uncrating and unpacking steps, you will improve the customer’s first Lynx experience.

Shipping weight on smaller units is app. 300 pounds and larger units may weigh over 500 pounds.
GAS CONNECTIONS WARNING NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE GRILL. A PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED ON ALL GAS EQUIPMENT. ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE IT AND LYNX SUPPLIES THE CORRECT REGULATOR WITH YOUR GRILL. REMOVING OR FAILING TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY The grill is factory set to use either propane (LP) or natural gas (NAT). It is critical that the gas you use matches that which the grill was set up for.
GAS CONNECTIONS con’t For freestanding units using natural gas, Lynx recommends using a mobile flex gas line. Always keep the line away from the firebox. WARNING This is available at your local hardware store or from your dealer. Do not change the regulator/hose assembly or use any other assembly than the one supplied with your Lynx grill. LP GAS Do not attempt to use a SLP-A equipped regulator/ hose assembly with a standard 510 POL cylinder/valve assembly.
GAS CONNECTIONS con’t Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve and turn the black coupler clockwise until the coupler is hand tight. Do not over-tighten this connection. To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main cylinder valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage. Always leak-test the connection after refilling or exchanging LP cylinders. (See “Leak Test” for further details.
GAS CONNECTIONS con’t NG AND BULK LP* CART INSTALLATION • • • • • Shutoff the gas supply at the main valve. Disconnect all plumbing (if already attached) from the grill and the gas supply valve. Remove all the fittings from the grill manifold if necessary. Connect the gas supply to the grill as shown in the diagram on this page for your gas type. Turn the gas supply on and leak test all connections. (See: "Leak Test" for further details .
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROOUNDING • • • • • • • • • • Product installation must meet local electric codes or, in the absence of local codes, the latest edition of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CGA 1.662005. Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas appliance. Do not use this outdoor cooking appliance if it has been submerged under water without thorough inspection by a qualified technician.
FINAL CHECKS DANGER To prevent fire or explosion hazard, DO NOT smoke or allow any potential source of ignition (sparks, electrical arcing, etc) in the area while performing a leak test. Leak tests should be conducted outdoors only. Never conduct a leak test using fire or flame. LEAK TEST PROCEDURE • • • • • • Create a soapy solution of 1 part soap and 3 parts water. Confirm that all control knobs are in the off position. Turn on the fuel supply.
SAFETY CHECKLIST • • • • Do you smell gas? If yes, shut off everything and call the gas company or a qualified plumber to check for leaks, if not please continue. Are you prepared to stay with the grill during the entire cooking process? If not, gather what you need before starting the lighting process. If yes, please continue.
PRE-GRILL CHECKLIST COLD WEATHER WARNING: PROPANE Extremely cold temperatures may cause your Trident TM burners to light inside the burners instead of outside. Once lit, if you hear a ‘whooshing’ sound, immediately turn the burner knobs off to extinguish the flame and then immediately re-light the burners. BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE BEFORE EACH USE There are a few must-check safety precautions to consider before you use your grill.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING Ensure all zip ties have been removed from the burners. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves while grilling. They could ignite. Never touch the grill surface or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands while grilling.
BASIC GRILLING PRE-HEATING Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is extremely important. Pre-heating allows the griddle to properly heat up, providing more even and more consistent cooking results. Pre-heat your grill by igniting all main burners, and setting them to the desired cooking temperature. NOTE: Only heat the grill to the maximum setting when you plan on cooking at that temperature. Once heated, the grill will retain heat for long time. Set the temperature for your desired food items.
CLEANING YOUR GRILL (Including Required Maintenance) STAINLESS STEEL Lynx products are known for their attractive appearance. We achieve this by selecting only the finest grades of stainless steel and applying exacting workmanship. In order to maintain this attractive appearance over the life of the grill it is important to take the following steps: • After each use wipe down the exterior of the grill to remove grease and splatters.
CLEANING YOUR GRILL (Including Required Maintenance) WARNING 1. 2. 3. 4. Failure to perform required maintenance will void your warranty. Scrape the griddle plate and discard the residue. Clean out the burner orifices and ensure they are free of debris. Clean the drip tray.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS con’t GLOW OR INSUFFICIENT HEAT Ensure that you've preheated the Trident TM burner for at least 10-15 minutes. Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that is out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and inefficient, uneven heating. A carpenter's spirit level should be used to level the grill both front-to-back and side-to-side. If the low heat problem persists: • Check the gas supply line sizing requirements. • Check the gas supply line for kinks or damage.
CONTACTING CUSTOMER CARE Before calling Lynx Customer Care, please make sure you have the following information: • • • • Model number Date of purchase Proof of purchase by the original owner Serial number The serial number can be located on the rating plate which is located on the underside of the stainless steel cover and on the care and use manual. Your satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us.
