LIGHTING UP STEP 1 Always light up with both doors and both vents open in order to allow maximum air and prevent the machine from overheating and causing damage. STEP 2 Use good quality charcoal. We recommend Trailblazer South African Premium Charcoal.
OPERATION The Trailblazer is designed to operate with at least 1 door open at all times with both doors being the normal mode of operation. GRILL HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT The height of the grill may be adjusted easily from, at its lowest, sitting on top of the fire box to fully raised as seen in the picture above.

Gull wing doors provide protection from sun and rain whilst cooking and fully enclose the grill whilst not in use or whilst travelling. They are secured with clasps at both front and rear. These can be adjusted if necessary by loosening the retaining nuts and moving forward or rear as required before re-securing.

When exiting side roads or crossing junctions remember to allow sufficient time to safely cross with the additional length that your Trailblazer BBQ makes. • When reversing take care to manoeuvre safely. Your Trailblazer BBQ responds in exactly the same way as any other road trailer.
Take into account the wind direction and other weather before setting up. Consider relocating the Trailblazer BBQ if you are concerned about the risk of fire due to the wind direction. Position the Trailblazer BBQ a suitable distance from the serving area to reduce the risk of burns.
FOOD SAFETY The most basic rule – Wash those hands! Before touching foods and particularly after handling raw food, especially meat. RAW FOODS HANDLING RAW FOODS Raw foods such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs and uncooked vegetables sometimes contain germs that can cause food poisoning. You can very easily pick up germs from raw foods on your hands or utensils, and then spread them to anything else you touch, including food that’s cooked and ready to eat.
Page 25
FOOD SAFETY COOKING MEAT (CONT.) You can use a probe thermometer to check items are fully cooked. Aim for an internal temperature of 75c or higher to ensure any harmful bacteria are destroyed. The following tips apply to all meat including burgers, sausages, chicken and pork. There are a few simple things to remember when checking if meat is cooked before serving.
Page 26
CHILLED FOOD SERVING CHILLED FOODS It is important to keep some foods cool to prevent food-poisoning germs multiplying. You should also take care not to leave food out of the fridge for more than 2 hours, and never leave food in the sun. If you are away from the fridge why not use a cool box and ice packs to keep food cool.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT In the rear storage compartment of your 600S Grillmaster there is a small tool kit. This tool kit consists of: - 2 X door stay key (left side) 2 X door stay key (right side) 1 X 10mm spanner INSERTING THE DOOR STAY KEYS To ensure there is no chance of the gull wing doors closing throughout use we have added a set of door stay keys.
Page 28
STEP 2 Once step one is complete, rotate the face with ‘L’ towards the floor, allowing part of the key to guide through to the far side of the door stay. STEP 3 Finally rotate the key clockwise until you hear it click into position.

ALTERING THE FRICTION BLOCK If the grill does not stay at the selected height, the tension can be adjusted at the friction block. This is found bolted around the winch bar on the inner side of the front gable. To tighten the friction block simply use the 10mm spanner that is included in your pack or adjustable wrench.

Before removing any clips take note of how they are applied.
