REPLACEMENT STEPS

Pro Tip: Depending on the placement of the P.A.L rail being replaced, users may need to remove the adjacent rail as well.

Before Performing Any Replacement Steps:

  • Turn burner knobs to OFF position, close the propane tank, and disconnect the regulator
  • Unplug the grill from power
  1. Move all control knobs are in the OFF position. Unplug the grill from power, close the propane tank valve, and disconnect the regulator from the propane tank.
  2. Loosen the bolts holding the applicable P.A.L rail in place. Once loosened, the P.A.L rail should be able to be lifted off the bolts and away from the shelf.
  3. If necessary, replace any damaged bolts.
  4. Place the new PAL rail onto the loosened bolts.
  5. Tighten bolts, making sure the P.A.L rail remains level.
