4. Setup and Installation

This installation requires drilling new holes into your Pit Boss Lexington Onyx Edition Grill. It does not utilize existing holes. It is highly recommended to have an additional person assist during the drilling and mounting process for stability and alignment.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Electric Drill
• Drill Bits (appropriate size for mounting bolts)
• Marker or Pencil
• Measuring Tape
• Wrench or Socket Set (for tightening bolts)
• Safety Glasses and Gloves

Installation Steps:

1. Position the Shelf: Carefully hold the folding shelf against the side of your Pit Boss Lexington Onyx Edition Grill where you intend to install it. Ensure it is level and positioned at a comfortable working height. The shelf is designed to attach to the main body and the leg structure of the grill.
2. Mark Drilling Points: Using a marker or pencil, accurately mark the locations for drilling through the pre-drilled holes on the shelf's mounting brackets onto the grill's body and leg. Double-check alignment before marking.
3. Drill Holes: Using an electric drill and the appropriately sized drill bit, carefully drill pilot holes, then enlarge them to the required diameter for the mounting bolts at the marked locations. Ensure holes are straight and clean.
4. Attach the Shelf: Align the shelf's mounting brackets with the newly drilled holes. Insert the provided bolts through the shelf brackets and the grill's body/leg. Secure with washers and nuts on the inside, tightening them firmly with a wrench or socket set.
5. Verify Stability: Once all bolts are tightened, gently test the stability of the installed shelf. Ensure it is securely attached and folds smoothly.

5. Operating Instructions

The PBR Products Folding Shelf is designed for simple operation.

• To Deploy: Gently lift the shelf from its folded position until it locks into place horizontally. Ensure the support arms are fully extended and locked.
• To Fold: Locate the release mechanism (typically a lever or button) on the support arms. Depress or pull the mechanism and carefully lower the shelf downwards until it rests against the side of the grill. This allows for easier storage and covering of the grill.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life of your folding shelf.

• Cleaning: Wipe the shelf clean with a damp cloth and mild soap after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all mounting bolts for tightness. Re-tighten if necessary to ensure the shelf remains secure.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the shelf down to protect it from the elements and allow for the use of a grill cover.

7. Troubleshooting

• Shelf is not stable after installation:
  • Ensure all mounting bolts are fully tightened.
  • Verify that the drilled holes are appropriately sized and aligned with the shelf's brackets.
• Difficulty folding/unfolding the shelf:
  • Check for any obstructions around the hinge mechanism.
  • Ensure the release mechanism is fully engaged when folding or unfolding.
• Drilling difficulties:
  • Use a sharp drill bit suitable for metal.
  • Apply steady pressure and maintain a consistent speed.
  • Consider using cutting oil if drilling through thick metal.
