Step 2: Prop up left hand side of the barbecue
In order to attach casters and wheels to the barbecue,each side
of the unit must alternately be propped up to provide access to
the bottom of the legs. A block of wood or other solid item
about 4-6 inches high will suffice for this purpose.
The same process can be used with the right
legs for attachment of the unit’s wheels.
NOTE: BEFORE BEGINNING ANY ASSEMBLY, REMOVE THE
BARBECUE’S SIDE PANELS TO PREVENT THEM FROM BEING
DAMAGED.

the bolts and in front of the shelf support. Tighten the bolt using the 7/16” (11 mm) wrench/ ratchet or
