Assembly Instructions  
NOTE: Some illustrations may show parts that are not included in your grill  
or are a different size. If assembly method is different it will be noted. If not,  
proceed as instructed.  
Step 1  
Frame Identification  
Identify parts and lay on floor as shown. Parts are named for their assembled position on the grill. The two Top U-  
Frames are symmetrical so will work on the left or right.  
The Left Legs (or Wheel Legs) are shorter, have a hole near the bottom for the wheel axle and have no end cap.  
The Right Legs are longer and have a plastic Foot Cap on the end.  
Insert the Left Legs into the ends of one Top U-Frame and the Right Legs into the ends of the other Top U-Frame. Note  
that the notch at the top tapered end of all Legs will face the inside. Do NOT install any fasteners at this stage.  
The view below is shown with what will be the “FRONT” of the cart facing down.
