Your Weber Gas Barbecue burner assembly has been
factory assembled, pressure and flame tested. As a safety
precaution we recommend you check the burner alignment:

a) Do the valves fit into the ends of the burners? 

Figure 9 (a). 

b)   Are the ends of the burners under the washers at the

left rear and left front of the cooking box? The screws
are only guides. Do not tighten. Figure 9 (b).

c)  Are the wing nuts under the burner assembly hand

tight? Do not tighten with pliers. Figure 9 (c).

If you answered YES to a, b and c, the burners are
correctly aligned. If you answered NO, the burners are
misaligned. Contact your dealer. Do not use barbecue.

Add cooking box

You will need: frame assembly, cooking box (assembly),
spacer bracket, 1/4-20 x 2 inch bolt, 1/4 inch nylon washer,
1/4-20 keps nut, pliers and a 7/16 inch wrench. 

Set the cooking box in the frame so the burner tubes are
under the frame brace. Figure 7.

Slide the cooking box to the left within the frame. Put the
washer on the bolt. Take the spacer bracket and hold it up
to the frame making sure both tabs fit underneath the frame
cross piece. Figure 8 (a). Insert the bolt through the center
hole in the spacer bracket, frame and cooking box with the
head of the bolt outside the spacer bracket. Figure 8 (b).
Add the keps nut. Figure 8. Tighten by holding the bolt with
pliers while you tighten the nut with a wrench.
