Step 10 Step 11 Add fuel scale Install igniter You will need: fuel scale, two 1/4-20 wing nuts and two nylon washers. Note - The igniter wires are already attached to the Gas Catcher Ignition Chamber and the igniter. This was done to factory test the ignition system. Slip the bolts on the back of the fuel scale assembly through the two small holes in the tank panel. Make sure indicator rod of fuel scale is on the left side of the wheel frame. The igniter lock nut is on the igniter.
Step 12 Step 13 Set LP fuel scale Fill LP tank You will need: LP tank (empty). Note - The LP tank manufacturer is responsible for the materials, workmanship and performance of the tank. If the tank has a defect, malfunctions, or you have a question regarding the tank, call the tank manufacturer's customer service center. The phone number is on the warning decal which is permanently attached to the tank.
Route the hose so it will not interfere with the scale indicator rod. The hose and regulator are connected in the following manner: Slide back the collar of the quick disconnect on the tank valve. Push the male fitting of the regulator into the quick disconnect, and maintain pressure. Slide the collar closed. Figure 16 (a). Figure 16 (b) shows the quick disconnect engaged and various components of the tank and regulator. Regulator vent hole should be at 3, 6, or 9 o'clock. It should not be pointed up.
Step 16 Check: a) Hose to manifold connection. Figure 18 (a). b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 18 (b). Check for gas leaks WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (a), retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service. c) Valves to manifold connections.

You will need: three tool holders, control panel, two Phillips screws/washers, a Phillips screwdriver, and three burner control knobs. Set the lid in place from the rear of the barbecue. Close and align the hinge at the rear. Insert hinge pins from the outside through the hinge. Insert hair pin cotters into the small holes in the hinge pins.
Step 21 Insert one end of the hinge rod into the hole in the frame. Figure 27 (a). Insert the other end into the hole in the swing table end bracket. Figure 27 (b). Hold the end bracket at an angle so the lower tab is inside the frame tube. Push the bracket into the frame. Check to see that the lower tab of the bracket is hooked in the slot in the frame. Figure 27 (c). To fully seat the bracket, you may have to tap it lightly with a hammer.
Step 22 Complete accessory installation Position slide bar assembly on the outside of the caster frame. Put a nylon washer on each 1 3/4 inch screw, insert screws through frame and slide bar assembly and add nylon washers and hex nuts. Tighten nuts using a screwdriver and pliers. Figure 28. You will need: two work tables, two accessory trays, WarmUp Basket, warming rack, thermometer, three tubing plugs and a hammer.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Lighting WARNING: The burner control knobs must be in the OFF position before turning on the LP tank valve. If they are not in the OFF position, when you turn on the LP tank valve, the excess flow control will activate, limiting the flow of gas from the LP tank. If this should occur, turn OFF the LP tank valve and burner control knobs and start over. Summary lighting instructions are on the control panel.
Manual Lighting DANGER 4) Turn the tank on by turning the tank valve counterclockwise. Failure to open lid while igniting the barbecue, or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the barbecue does not light, may result in an explosive flameup which can cause serious bodily injury or death. 5) Strike a match and put the flame into the matchlight hole in the front of the cooking box. WARNING: Do not lean over open barbecue.
Storage and/or Nonuse continued Cooking WARNING: Do not move the Weber Gas Barbecue when operating or hot. You can adjust the FRONT, CENTER and BACK burners as desired. The control settings High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O) are described in your Weber cookbook. The cookbook uses these notations to describe the settings of the FRONT, CENTER, and BACK burners. For example, to sear steaks you would use (HHH) (all burners at high).
Connecting the filled LP tank Refilling the LP tank WARNING: Make sure that the LP tank valve is closed. Close by turning clockwise. We recommend that you refill before the scale indicator reaches "E". DANGER Note - If you run out of fuel, check the indicator setting and/or adjust the fuel scale indicator setting with the scale setting wing nut, while the tank is empty so you do not run out again. Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
c) Connect the hose to the tank. Route the hose so it does not interfere with the scale indicator rod. Slide back the collar of the quick disconnect on the tank valve. Figure 5 (a). Push the male fitting of the regulator into the quick disconnect, and maintain pressure. Slide the collar closed. Figure 5 (b). If it does not engage or lock, repeat procedure. Gas will not flow unless the quick disconnect is properly engaged.
Liquid Propane (LP) Tank(s) Safe handling tips for LP Gas ■ Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside a tank, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas. ■ LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should know this odor. ■ LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas that prevent dispersion.
Annual Maintenance Check: a) Hose to manifold connections. Figure 8 (a). After a period of nonuse we recommend that you perform the following maintenance procedures for your safety. b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 8 (b). WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (a), retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. WARNING: Check hose before each use of barbecue for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts.
General Maintenance Weber Spider Stopper Guards Main Burner Flame Pattern Your Weber Gas Barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter. Figure 9. This could result in a fire in and around the air shutters, under the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue.
g) Lift and twist the burner assembly slightly, to separate the crossover tube from the burners. Figure 17. Remove the burners from the cooking box. d) Unlatch the Spider Stopper Guards and remove. Figure 14. Crossover tube Figure 17 Figure 14 h) To reinstall burners, reverse steps c) through g). e) Remove the manifold bracket and unscrew the two wing nuts that hold the manifold to the cooking box. Pull the manifold and valve assembly out of the burners and carefully set it down. Figure 15.
i) Crossover Ignition System Operations Reinstall the Spider Stopper Guards. Slightly rotate the Spider Stopper Guards so that the seams are in line with the Venturi fins. There should be no gaps in the seams or in the fit around the burners and valves. Figure 19. If the Crossover Ignition System fails to ignite the Front burner, light the Front burner with a match. If the Front burner lights with a match, then check the Crossover Ignition System.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Check Cure Burners burn with a yellow or orange flame, in conjunction with the smell of gas. Inspect Weber Spider Stopper Guards for possible obstructions. (Blockage of holes.) Clean Weber Spider Stopper Guards. (See Section "Annual Maintenance".) Burners do not light. -orBurners have a small flickering flame in the HIGH position. -orBarbecue temperature only reaches 250˚ to 300˚ degrees in the HIGH position.
