General Instructions
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This installation guide provides you with easy to follow illustrations and instructions to assemble your
MHP Gas Barbecue Grill.
Before you start assembling and using your MHP
Gas Barbecue Grill we recommend that you read
through all precautions, safe guards and instructions to avoid any personal injury or property
damage.
Check Local Codes. Contact your local LP dealer or
Natural Gas company for recommended installation
procedures and regulations. If there are no local
codes, installation must conform to the latest National
Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1. For Canada, installation must comply with local codes and/or Standard
CAN/CGA-B-149-1 for natural gas installation and
CAN/CGA- B-149-2 for propane installation.
For LP Gas Models the supplied Gaslow GS-801
Regulator must be used. Any replacement pressure
regulator or hose assembly must meet or exceed the
specifications of the Gaslow GS-801 Regulator.
For Natural Gas Models the grill is designed to operate at a pressure of 7” water column (W.C.) (1.75
kPa). Check your gas utility for local pressure. Pressures other than approximately 7” W.C. could affect
the performance of your grill.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
There are 9 steps to assembling your MHP Gas Barbecue Grill: The mounting, LP tank mounting, control
panel, gas supply connection, grill lid, lid handle, side
shelves, and rock grate, cooking grid and warming
rack.
The grill itself is p ar ti al l y a ss em b l e d w it h th e B u rn e r,
Venturis, Ignitor Collector Box and the Gaslow Regulator installed.
The JNR and WNK grills are specifically designed to
fit the five mounting methods: Cart, In-Ground Post,
Deck/Patio Base, Optimum Console and Built-in. The
TJK Grill is supported by the Optimum Console
mounting and Built-in.
You will need the following tools to assemble
your grill:
• A Phillips head screwdriver
• A standard flat head screwdriver
• Two 7/16” wrenches or sockets

Step 1: Connect the Tank Locking Bar
(Fig. 10)
1. From box “A” locate and attach the Tank Lock Bar
across the back of the pedestal column. Use the ¾"
S.S. Hex bolt, Nylon Lock Bar Spacer and a Kep nut
on each side to fasten the Tank Lock Bar in place.
This spreads and holds the correct spacing at the
back of the column.
Step 2: Attach the Base to the Pedestal
(Fig. 11)
1. Before bolting the pedestal column to the base, the
2-piece gasket must be installed to create a barrier
between the two metals. Remove the backing strips
from the gasket to expose the adhesive and stick
the gasket to the bottom lip of the pedestal column.
Make sure to align the holes.
2. Attaching the pedestal column to the base will be
easier to handle by laying the pedestal column face
down and matching the holes on the pedestal column lip to the holes on the base. Use six ¾” bolts,
four large rectangular washers, and on the underside six round washers and KEP nuts.
IMPORTANT: the large rectangular washers are
used at the sides on top of the pedestal column lip.
The round washers and KEP nuts are used under
the base. Tighten securely and stand unit upright.
Note: While assem blin g, p eel t he thi n white protective film
