ABOUT FLAMETRAK™
The FLAMETRAK is an ignition and control system that continually monitors the presence of flame, acts to ensure that
flame and closes the gas supply to the valve when flame cannot be verified. FLAMETRAK is present at each burner in
the grill. A FLAMETRAK indicator, placed just above each burner knob, lets the grill user know the flame’s status at a
glance without having to open the grill and look for a flame beneath the grates or briquette trays.
The indicator initially blinks blue when the igniter is starting to light the burner. The indicator is solid blue whenever
the burner is safely ON and flame is present. The indicator is blinking red when there is an error detected and
FLAMRETRAK has shut off the gas to that burner. To reset, simply turn the burner off and back on again.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SAFETY
The FLAMETRAK system is based on flame rectification. Flame rectification is the effect where electrical a current
change from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) as it passes through a flame. If the current does not change,
then FLAMETRAK knows the flame is not present—and it relights the burner or, if it fails to relight, shuts the gas off to
that burner.
Flame rectification is proven technology that many water heaters and other devices use to confirm the presence of a
flame.
THE LYNX ALL TRIDENT GRILL
In 2018, the Lynx All Trident Grill is the first grill to feature the FLAMETRAK safety system. It sets the industry standard in
safety and performance. The FLAMETRAK safety system is patent pending.

IMPORTANT NOTES
WHERE’S THE WIND?
When selecting a suitable location, consider important
factors such as exposure to the wind and foot-traffic
patterns.
If you have a freestanding grill, position it so the prevailing
wind blows into the front control panel (at your back when
grilling), supporting the proper front-to-rear airflow.
Built-in grills located in areas with prevailing winds should
be protected by a wind barrier.
Winds hitting the back of the grill directly may cause
problems, as well as
wind blowing along
the hood gap.
HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN?
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because
gas lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow
and tee that is added. This drop in pressure affects grill
performance. (See INDEX: “Gas Supply Line Runs” for
further details.)
ARE YOU “ON-THE-LEVEL”?
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that
is out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and
inefficient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level
should be used to level the grill both front-to-back and
side-to-side.
If the floor is uneven or has a decided slope, re-leveling
may be required each time you move a freestanding unit.
WARNING
• Never install this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacket. Doing so could result in fire,
property damage and personal injury.
• Never locate the grill under an uprotected roof or overhang, in a building, garage, shed or other such enclosed
area.
• Never locate the grill under unprotected combustible construction.
• Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and
Handling Code, B149.2, in Canada.
IF SHIPMENT ARRIVES DAMAGED
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE
Be certain any visible damage to the carton is noted on
freight bill or express receipt and signed by the person
making delivery.
FILE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IMMEDIATELY, regardless of
extent of damage.
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
If damage is unnoticed until the grill is unpacked, notify
the transportation company or carrier immediately and file
a “concealed damage” claim with them. This should be
done within (5) days of the date delivery is made to you. Be
sure to hold on to the container for inspection. We cannot
assume responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit.
(See INDEX: “Obtaining Service from Lynx” for further
details.)
Be sure wind doesn’t blow into the hood gap.

BUILT-IN INSTALLATIONS
BEFORE YOU START ...continued
The Lynx Built-In Grill is designed for easy installation into
masonry enclosures.
NOTE: Lynx built-in grills are intended either for
installation in a built-in enclosure constructed of
non-combustible materials or for an installation in a built
in enclosure constructed of combustible material when
installed with a Lynx insulating jacket (LIJ).
N’utilisez pas cet appareil sous des surfaces inflammables non
protégées.
A minimum of 6” of clearance is needed on the left side of
the grill above the counter top for the rotisserie motor and
spit rod.
If the grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an
approved insulated jacket is necessary and is available only
from your Lynx dealer. Lynx insulated jackets have been
designed and tested specifically for your Grill.
For non-combustible applications, the grill drops into the
opening shown in the cutout detail drawing (See INDEX:
“Gas Requirements”) and hangs from its counter-top trim. A
deck is not required to support it from the bottom.
When using the insulated jacket in a combustible enclosure,
the jacket must be supported from the bottom by a ledge
on each side or a full deck beneath the jacket.
(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements”) Pay special attention to
the provisions shown for gas line hook-up.
The enclosure should have ventilation holes to prevent gas
build-up in the event of a leak. The deck ledges and
counter should be flat and level. (refer to ANSI Z21.58
Standard for Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, Section 1.7
Enclosures For Self Contained LP-Gas Supply Systems)
This grill requires that a 120 volt, 60 hertz, 15 amp GFI
certified outlet be installed by a qualified electrician.
Never locate the transformer or grill gas line behind the
grill inside the insulated jacket.
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Minimum clearance from the sides and back of the grill to
adjacent combustible construction below the counter top
surface is 12” from the sides and 6 1/4” from the back of
the hood.
REAR HOOD CLEARANCE
A 3 inch clearance is required behind the grill to allow the
front hood to open.
The grill exhausts combustion products and cooking
greases to the back. Never locate the grill where this
exhaust will be difficult to clean.

UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY
The grill arrives nearly ready to use and requires only minor
assembly.
By carefully following the uncrating and unpacking steps,
you will improve the customer’s first Lynx experience.
Shipping weight on smaller units is app. 300 pounds and
larger units may weigh over 500 pounds.
WARNING:
EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD!
One way to safely move the grill off of the pallet is by lifting
one end of the grill high enough to place a ramp under the
wheel and then lift the other end while rolling the grill off of
the pallet.
Use two or more people to move or install this
unit. Failure to follow this instruction can result in
back or other personal injuries.
CRATE & CARTON
• IMPORTANT! Do not remove staples around the top of
the carton. These staples hold a wooden pallet in place
inside the carton that protects the unit from damage.
Removing these staples may cause the pallet to fall on
the top of grill.
How to Remove the Carton
• Cut the main strap holding the grill to the pallet.
• Remove the staples at the bottom of the carton.
• Lift off the carton. There is a pallet over the grill for hood
protection.
• With assistance, remove the grill from the pallet and
place into desired location.
The wheels sit down in the gaps of the shipping crate so
that the grill can sit safely and solidly on the crate during
shipping. The grill cannot be slid directly off of the pallet.
When pushing, lifting, or pulling a freestanding Lynx Grill
across gravel, grass, pavers, brick, stone, imperfections in
the surface, or wood slatted decks be cautious and move
slowly or use a carpet dolly. Failure to do so may damage
the structure of the cart which will not be covered under
warranty.
INTERIOR PACKING
Lynx uses sturdy tie-down cables and straps to ensure
your grill arrives at your home in the same condition that
it left our factory. BE SURE YOU HAVE REMOVED ALL TIE
DOWNS BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL.
• Remove the white accessory box and wood packing, the
grill racks, and remove any loose items from the firebox.
• Carefully cut the cable ties
securing the warming rack
and rotisserie spit.
• Trident ™ burner, cut and
remove ties from the burner

WARNING
NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE GRILL. A PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED ON
ALL GAS EQUIPMENT. ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE IT AND LYNX SUPPLIES THE CORRECT REGULATOR
WITH YOUR GRILL. REMOVING OR FAILING TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE
AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
GAS CONNECTIONS
Keep last two
threads clean
The grill is factory set to use either propane (LP) or
natural gas (NAT). It is critical that the gas you use matches
that which the grill was set up for. You can verify that by
checking the rating plate.
The Rating plate lists serial numbers, model numbers and gas
type. This one is underneath the drip tray.
The rating plate is located in one or more of the following
places:
• Attached to the underside of the drip tray
• On the heat shield behind the front panel
Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum
pressure requirements. Do not operate the grill on any gas
other than that for which the grill has been set.

Canadian installations must conform to CGA-B149.1/.2
natural gas/propane installation code. (Canada)
Lynx recommends that only qualified professionals
perform the required plumbing on this product.
NATURAL GAS
To ensure satisfactory performance, the gas supply line
must be sized to accommodate the total BTU requirements
of all the gas-fired equipment that will be connected to that
line.
In no case should an inlet pipe less than 3/4” inside
diameter or 1” outside diameter ever be used to connect
this product.
• Calculate the total BTU output of all equipment and
refer to “INDEX: Gas Supply Line Runs” for allowable run
distances for ¾ inch pipe. Failure to meet these minimum
requirements may reduce performance of the grill and
any other appliances running on that supply line.
• Always keep supply line runs as short as possible. (See
INDEX: “BTU Output” for specific model outputs)
• A gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily
accessible location,away from the grill and island location
by a qualified plumber.
Water Column Requirements
Both the regulator and the manifold orifices have been
tuned for the type of gas specified on the rating plate.
Converting to a different type of gas requires a conversion
kit, available from Lynx or from your dealer and must be
installed by a qualified technician or certified plumber.
All installation and all installation parts must conform to
local codes with the National Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 70 latest edition and the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the U.S. and CGA-B149.1/.2 in
Canada.
• Keep threading compound off of the first two pipe
threads to avoid having any small pieces of compound
break loose and clog a burner valve or orifice. Do not use
threading compound on any flare fittings.
For built-in installations, it is recommended that any flexible
pipe used be kept as short as possible. (See INDEX: “Gas
Connections” for typical permanent hook up.)
CARE & USE/INSTALLATION

For freestanding units using natural gas, Lynx recommends
using a mobile flex gas line. Always keep the line away from
the firebox.
This is available at your local hardware store or from your
dealer.
LP GAS
Grills set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose/
regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP
cylinder. (Type 1). All fittings necessary to attach the assem-
bly to the grill are included.
Permanently plumbed LP connections, such as those in line
with a bulk cylinder, require a 4/11 regulator. (Lynx P/N 30781)
When using the 4/11 regulator you must ensure that it is
set for the proper fuel type. This is done by removing the
regulator cap and gasket and looking at the bottom of the
plunger to see what fuel type is visible. This is the regula-
tor fuel setting. NAT is for natural gas and LP is for propane
gas. The LP setting can be further identified by the large
diameter disk on the bottom of the plunger. To change
from one gas to the other simply push the plunger to the
side to snap it out of the cap, turn the plunger so it reads
the desired gas type on the bottom, and push the plunger
until it snaps back into place in the cap then replace the
cap into the regulator.
Never connect an unregulated gas line to the grill.
LP Cylinder Requirements
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in accor-
dance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use
with a Type 1 system only.
Cylinders of free standing grills must be secured using the
provided cylinder retention system to avoid accidental
movement.
When exchanging your
cylinder for a refill,
exhange only for a Type
1 20lb cylinder with
an over-fill protection
device.
Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve.
A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous and should
be avoided. If in doubt, have it checked by your LP supplier.
Always check for leaks after every LP cylinder change. (See
INDEX: “Leak Test” for further details.)
Always shut off the LP-gas supply at the cylinder when the
grill is not in use.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area
out of the reach of children. If your grill is stored indoors,
the LP cylinder must be stored outside.
LP Connections
Make sure the LP cylinder valve is fully closed. It is possible
for the valve to be open without releasing gas but, as soon
as you start connecting the regulator, gas will leak from the
connection.

WARNING
Do not change the regulator/hose assembly or
use any other assembly than the one supplied
with your Lynx grill.
Do not attempt to use a 5LP-A equipped
regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510
POL cylinder/valve assembly.
Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or
near this appliance.
Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
If the information above is not followed exactly, a
fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
