It is not required to remove the control panel or knobs to install this
unit. DO NOT lift the unit from the control panel when installing.
PREPARE FOR INSTALLATION
Consult a qualified professional installer / licensed contractor.
The in-ground post is designed primarily for installation with a
permanent underground gas supply. The power supply cord is to
be routed out the back.
To gain access to the inside of the post, unscrew and carefully open
the access plate on the rear of the post using a medium Phillips-head
screwdriver. Retain the screws.
A power supply is pre-mounted to the access plate. For ease of
installation, disconnect the converter harness from the power supply.
Locate the wires coming from the inside of the post to the power
supply and carefully disconnect (see Fig. 19-1 and 19-2).
Important: Pull from the connectors (not the wires).
ROUTE POWER SUPPLY CORD
The power cord will need to be routed through the access plate
for later connection to a 120VAC (15 AMP minimum) GFCI
GROUNDED 3-wire receptacle. The GFCI receptacle must be a
WEATHER-PROOF IN-USE COVERED RECEPTACLE.
1. Remove the knock-out disc at the bottom left of the access
plate with a large flathead screwdriver. (Insert the screwdriver
into the notch provided in the center of the knock-out.)
2. Remove the plastic power cord bushing attached to the power
cord.
3. Feed the power cord through the newly created hole.
4. Install the bushing onto the power cord and slide the bushing
up against the access plate knock-out hole and snap into place.
See Fig. 19-1.
ROUTE GAS SUPPLY (UNDERGROUND METHOD)
Note: This section addresses an underground gas supply setup.
To connect through the rear of the post, reference the
ROUTE FLEX CONNECTOR section of PATIO-MOUNT
INSTALLATION, and do not perform the steps until after:
attaching the extension post, and installing the post / pouring
the concrete.
1. After running the underground gas supply line to the planned
grill location, dig a hole for the post and extension approximately
18" deep and 10-12" in diameter.
Note: Run the gas supply line up from the bottom of the hole
(a little off center) so that it reaches to approximately 4"
above ground level.
Note: The actual depth of the hole should be such that the shelf
surface is approximately 36.5" above ground level.
2. Verify that the gas supply line fits through the gas line clearance
hole in the bottom of the post (see Fig. 19-3). The clearance hole is
the larger of the two holes in the bottom of the post and is off center.
3. Verify that the flex connector coming from the inside of the post
will connect properly with the gas supply line.
