Caution: ALWAYS use the washer between the head of the bolt and the tier arm. Failure to use the washer
will cause the bolt to penetrate too deeply into the t-slot and possibly damage the mast extrusion.
Installing the Tiers
Installation of the tiers is done by inserting the t-slot plates into the t-slots of the mast as shown in Fig 16. It is
helpful to have someone assist you in installing them. Position the tier in the desired location and tighten the t-
slot plate bolts slightly so they can be adjusted as needed in the leveling step that follows.
Tip: The tiers can be installed on all 4 sides of the mast!
As shown in Fig 17, use a carpenter's level and level the burner front to back and side to side. Tightening the
nuts snugly (20 ft-lb or 27 N-m) using a torque wrench.
Caution: Excessive tightening may permanently deform the mast.
