Tools and Preparation
Before you begin assembling your Huntington four-burner gas grill, gather the necessary tools. You'll need a hammer or rubber mallet, a #2 Robertson or Phillips screwdriver, a 7/16 combination wrench, and a 7/16 nut driver or socket and ratchet wrench.
Carefully unpack all grill components and lay them out in your workspace. Use the drip pan to organize the hardware bag contents for easy access.
Referencing your assembly manual alongside this guide will ensure a smooth and accurate assembly process.
Base Assembly and Caster Installation
Identify the front of the base by locating the axle holes. The axles and wheels should be on the left side when the base is upright.
Install the caster supports on all four corners of the base. Attach two casters to the right side of the base.
Secure each support using two nuts and bolts on the inside openings. Hand-tighten these for now; final tightening will come later.
Tank Retainer and Leg Installation
Install the tank retainer bracket from underneath the base. Push the tank retainer clip through the front and rear openings.
Secure the bracket using the two smallest screws from the hardware package.
Next, install the legs. Use two short bolts for the rear legs and one for the front leg, ensuring the square openings on the legs are at the bottom.
Panel Installation
Install the front panel by aligning the openings on the panel with the screws on both legs. Secure with three screws per leg (six total).
Similarly, install the side panels, using two screws on each side. Make sure the rivnuts on each panel face the bottom of the grill.
Attach the base to the legs with two long bolts and two nuts per leg. Then, attach the front panel to the base.
Wheel and Axle Assembly
Using a block of wood, insert the axle into the axle cap. Secure it by striking the other end with a mallet.
Install the wheels onto the axle and insert the axle into the base holes. Secure the axle cap with the mallet.
Finally, turn the barbecue upright, ensuring the back is to the ground.
Final Assembly and Finishing Touches
Attach the match light assembly to the front right corner of the cook box.
Install the side shelves, securing them with two screws each from the inside of the cookbox (rear attachments first, then front).
Attach the side burner, connecting the hose and igniter wire. Install the lid, securing it with bolts, nuts, and cotter pins.
Finishing and Seasoning
Install the grease tray and drip tray. Attach the propane tank and secure it with the tank retainer.
After assembly, check to ensure everything is secure. Light your barbecue and leave it on medium-high for at least 20 minutes to burn off residue.
Season the cast iron grids by heating the grill to 400 degrees, turning off the burners, and coating the grids with oil.
