  2. Install the Backboard: Install the back panel between the left and right frames with 4 AA screws.
  3. Install Casters: Install the casters with brake (2 pcs) and casters without brake (2 pcs) under the bottom of the bottom panel and adjust the height of the casters with the HH wrench. For easy movement, be sure to install the same type of casters on the same side of the bottom panel. It's suggested to install the casters with brake near the front side.
  4. Install the Grill Body: Install the grill body on the two frames with 4 AA screws. Before installing the grill body, it is necessary to pass the igniter and the gas hose through the right frame.
  5. Install Side Tables and Front Panels: Pre-attach 2 AA screws to the left side table (do not tighten), then assemble the left side table and left front panel together and tighten the screws. Align the right burner table with the 4 pre-attached AA screws on the right side of the grill body and then tighten them. Fix the right front panel to the right side of the grill body with 2 AA screws.
  6. Install Lid Handle and Temperature Dial: Remove the 2 AA screws and 2 adiabatic spacers pre-installed on the lid handle.
