General Maintenance Weber Spider Stopper Guards Main Burner Flame Pattern Your Weber Genesis Gas Barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter. Figure 6. This could result in a fire in and around the air shutters, under the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue.
d) Unlatch the Spider Stopper Guards and remove. Figure 11. g) Lift and twist the burner assembly slightly, to separate the crossover tube from the burners. Figure 14. Remove the burners from the cooking box. Crossover tube Figure 14 Figure 11 h) To reinstall burners, reverse steps c) through g). e) Remove the manifold bracket and unscrew the two wing nuts that hold the manifold to the cooking box. Pull the manifold and valve assembly out of the burners and carefully set it down. Figure 12.
i) Crossover Ignition System Operations Reinstall the Spider Stopper Guards. Slightly rotate the Spider Stopper Guards so that the seams are in line with the Venturi fins. There should be no gaps in the seams or in the fit around the burners and valves. Figure 16. If the Crossover Ignition System fails to ignite the Front burner, light the Front burner with a match. If the Front burner lights with a match, then check the Crossover Ignition System.
