ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
This unit ships 90% assembled and we make sure the instructions for the rest are easy to follow and
perform. Please follow the instructions below to ensure your rotisserie is properly assembled for safe
operation and remember this is a commercial piece of equipment and therefore the materials used to
build it are of the best quality. Because of this, the rotisserie weight is considerable and will require 2
people to un-package, assemble, and set-up the unit.
1. Unbox rotisserie and remove all packaging.
2. Rotate the motor end mount and point protector end mount 180° degrees so they are facing out.
3. Adjust both end mouths to the lowest height setting and secure with stainless steel pins.
4. Carefully lift rotisserie frame, with spit removed, and place it on heat source ensuring both heat
source and rotisserie frame fit together securely.
