INTRODUCTION Congratulations on the purchase of your Traeger Pellet Fired Grill, Model BBQLHS. With proper set-up, operation, and maintenance, this grill will provide years of delicious food and cooking enjoyment. Your new BBQLHS comes partially assembled. You will need to complete the assembly process by: 1) Installing the four VIPER casters on the steer’s feet (16) 2) Position the U-shaped firepot cover (11) over the firepot (10) and set the angled drip pan (12) over the U-shaped firepot cover (11).
SECTION ONE: ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Bottom of BBQ Mounting The Viper Casters: Caster Receptacles Receptacle Lay the barbecue on its back.

Attaching The Steer Horns: 1) Locate the four 1/4th inch Phillips drive bolts. 2) Align the bolt holes in the horns with the zerts at the side of the Steer head.
SECTION TWO: EMPTY PELLET HOPPER LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. (To be used on initial firing or anytime the unit runs out of pellets) In order to ensure proper operation of your grill, you must first allow the auger tube to be “charged” with pellets. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position. Plug power cord into a 110 volt outlet. Open the pellet hopper lid and locate the auger. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the auger.
SECTION THREE: STANDARD LIGHTING PROCEDURE (For Normal Use) 1. Set the cook mode switch or thermostat dial on SMOKE. Turn the power switch ON. In approximately 2 minutes you will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the grill. The hot rod will operate for four minutes before shutting off. After 4 minutes, the cook mode switch may be moved to any cooking setting you desire SECTION FOUR: OPERATING TIPS 1) Your Traeger Pellet Grill should never be moved while it is hot.
NOTE: When operating this barbecue, maintain a clearance of 10 inches from barbecue back to combustibles. SECTION FIVE: MAINTAINING YOUR NEW GRILL 1. Change the aluminum foil on the Angled drip pan after each use. Periodically clean the grease out of the V-channel grease catch, grease drain tube and interior surfaces of the barbecue. Empty the grease bucket when it is half-full. It’s easier to clean off accumulated grease when the grill is warm. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN YOURSELF.
SECTION SIX: IF YOUR FIRE GOES OUT If your grill fails to light or if the fire in the firepot goes out while cooking or smoking, follow these steps: 1) Turn off the unit. Open barbecue lid, remove all food, cooking grill, angled drip pan, and u-shaped firepot cover. 2) Remove ALL un-burnt barbecue pellets from inside and around the firepot. 3) Before replacing the u-shaped firepot cover, angled drip pan and cooking grill, restart your grill and confirm that the ignition cycle is working.
