Before you reinstall the main top, we recommend inserting the spark wires in the orifice holders to secure them.
13
Now set the main top on the frame and secure the grounding wire with the screw.
14
Reposition the right side of the main top first by hooking the rear edge on the mounting tab so the top is seated under the vent.
15
Now position the rear edge on the left mounting tab.
16
Making sure the orifice holders protrude through the holes in the main top snap the front edge into place.
