CONNECTING TO THE GAS SUPPLY
Always ensure the orifi ces and regulator are set
for the gas type your unit is to be installed to.
This post barbecue is capable of connecting to the
gas supply in a few different ways. The connection
can be made inside the post, under the post base,
or out the back of the post.
The gas must be hooked up so that it passes through
the regulator and timer located in the post. To access;
unscrew and remove the access plate in the back
of the post using a No. 3 Phillips-head screwdriver.
Retain the screws.
To connect through the post, remove the knock-out
disk at the bottom of the access plate with a large
standard screwdriver by inserting the screwdriver
into the notch provided in the center of the knock-
out. Remove the plastic grommet fastened to the
inside of the post and insert it into the newly created
opening prior to passing the gas connection through
the opening.
To connect through the post base, run the gas
connection through the hole provided in the center
of the post base.
Connect the supplied 1 /

gas supply stub. Use pipe joint compound that is
resistant to all gasses on the male pipe fi tting. Connect
the fl ex connector to the adapter. Tighten securely.
Turn all burner valves to the OFF position. Turn
the gas supply on. Then carefully check all gas
connections for leaks with a brush and soapy water
before lighting. NEVER USE A MATCH OR OPEN
FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
