Hood Assembly and/or Hood Springs

The ends of the hood springs are hooked over studs,
one attached to each side of the rear hood assembly
and protruding out; one attached to each side of the
hood assembly and protruding in. A pivot point for the
hood assembly is created by bolts passing in through
holes in the hood at both corners, then through spac-
ers, corresponding holes in the hood assembly and the
rotisseries rod saddles, with a nuts on the inside hold-
ing it all together.
NOTE: It may be necessary to have two people for the
procedure listed below, as hood assemblies are heavy
and their weight distribution awkward.

bolt, with a 7/16" (11 mm) wrench or a crescent

3. Lift hood until lower hooks of springs disengage
from hood studs.
4. Continue to lift hood up off of grill.

Rear Hood Shell

The rear hood shell hooks over the top of the rear hood
assembly, then screws passing through the rear hood
shell at each side and into threaded inserts in the rear
hood assembly hold the shell in place.

1. Open the hood, then use a Phillips-head screwdriv-
er to remove top two (2) rear hood shell mounting
screws, one each side.

mounting screws from each side of shell.
