NSTALLATION

Dig a hole approximately 12" in diameter and 24"
in depth at the desired grill location.
Note: “Normal Installation” height is achieved
when the top of the in-ground post (7) is 25 1/4"
above ground. This height provides a cooking
surface height of 34 1/2" above ground when
grids are placed in the high level position.
Carefully lower the in-ground post into the hole
using the following guidelines:
• The rectangular cut-out is located near the
TOP of the post and should be above ground
after installation.
• The rectangular cut-out must face in the
SAME direction as the front of the grill.
• Hole depth and post measurements should be
checked to ensure desired height.
Note: Make any adjustments at this time.
Prepare concrete or a standard pre-mix
according to the manufacturer’s package
directions.
Position the post in the center of the hole. A level
should be used when aligning the post to achieve
precise vertical alignment. Hold the post in place
while pouring the concrete mixture into the hole
around the post.

After the concrete has set, insert the tubing (6) in
the post. Figure 1.
Note: Do not attempt to cut or alter the flex tube in
any way.
