cleaner. This grill like all appliances has the
potential to create safety hazards through
careless or improper use. Please observe all
of the safety precautions listed in the grill
manufacturer's owner's manual. Refer to the
grill owner's manual.

Hardtop

The hardtop consists of a fiberglass top sup-
ported by the windshield in the front and
powder coated aluminum legs in the back. It
is designed to accommodate radio anten-
nas, radar antennas and navigation lights. It
could also be equipped with optional outrig-
gers and/or rod holders.

The hardtop is not designed to support the
additional weight of items like an instrument
locker or a life raft. Radar and electronics
antennas must be mounted to the top
between the windshield and rear legs. Do
not mount any antennas or equipment to the
brow area. The hardtop frame is not
designed to support the weight of accesso-
ries in this area and can be damaged. The
starboard rear leg provides the chase for
components mounted to the top.

The hardtop warranty will be voided if the
top is modified in any way or heavy accesso-
ries are mounted to the top. Also, if items
like radar antennas, spotlights and other
accessories are mounted in the wrong loca-
tion, the warranty can be voided. If you
intend to add equipment or make modifica-
tions to the hardtop, contact Pursuit Cus-
tomer Relations to make sure the equipment
you would like to add or the intended modifi-
cation will not void the warranty on the top.

Hardtop Canvas

Because the aluminum frames vary slightly,
the side curtains and drop curtain are cus-
tom made to each boat at the factory. Slide
the side curtains into the slide tracks on top
of the windshield wings. Zip into the hardtop.

Snap the side curtains to the hardtop legs.
The side curtains will have to be stretched
slightly to pull out the wrinkles and reach the
snaps.

If you have an optional drop curtain, slide it
into the slide track on the back of the hard-
top and attach it to the rear of the side cur-
tains. Snap the drop curtain to the deck and
cockpit.

Cold weather can make the clear vinyl mate-
rial on the curtains stiff and difficult to stretch
to the snaps. This can be particularly difficult
with new canvas that has been stored off the
boat. Lay the curtains in the sun for 30 min-
utes during the heat of the day to make
installation easier in cold weather.

There is a hole drilled in one of the leg bases
to prevent water from being trapped within
the leg and provide wire routing for accesso-
ries. A smaller hole is drilled in the tubing at
the base of the other legs is to allow water to
drain only. Keep the hardtop leg drains
clean, especially before winter lay-up.

WARNING

Severe burns can occur from the
improper use of this device. Do not
leave the grill unattended when is hot.
Close supervision is required when
the grill is being used or is hot. Do not
use the grill while underway.

CAUTION

Care should be exercised to prevent
damage to powder coated surfaces. if
the surface is scratched, chipped or
worn exposing the aluminum, it
should be resealed to prevent corro-
sion from forming. If corrosion is
allowed to form, it could cause the
powder coating to bubble and lift
away. Contact your dealer for repair
service.
