Features
- 110 V AC motor with switch (16552): turns the spit at the flip of its own switch.
- 38" stainless steel spit rod (16618): sized for the full width of a 38" Bull grill.
- Two large 4-prong forks (16553): hold a whole bird or roast firmly on the rod.
- Adjustable counterbalance (16586): slide it to offset the food's weight, so the spit turns evenly and the motor is not strained.
- Mount on either side: put the motor on the side away from a side burner.
- 20 lb capacity: room for a whole turkey or a large roast, up to Bull's stated limit.

Installation planning
- Install cold: do not install the kit while the grill is in use. Fit it before lighting, or wait until the grill is cool to the touch.
- Bracket: open the hood, remove the warming rack and fasten the motor mount bracket to the side of the grill with the supplied screws. It fits either side; if the grill has a side burner next to it, mount the motor on the opposite side.
- Spit assembly: slide the forks and shaft collar onto the rod, then fit the spacer, counterbalance and black handle on the threaded end. Line each thumbscrew up with the flat on the rod before tightening.
- Mounting the spit: slide the motor onto the bracket, insert the square end of the rod into the motor, and seat the shaft collar's groove in the round opening on the other side of the grill, with the thumbscrew inside the grill.
- Check rotation: switch the motor on and confirm the collar turns freely before cooking.
- Power: the motor runs on 110 V AC; plan for power at the grill.
Cooking with the rotisserie (from Bull's manual):
- Center and balance the food on the rod, then loosen the black handle and slide the counterbalance to even out the load. Do not exceed 20 lb.
- Before lighting the infrared rotisserie burner, check that the food clears the burner as it turns. Remove the warming rack whenever the rotisserie burner is in use.
- Never run the infrared back burner and the main burners at the same time.
- Direct heat suits slow, even cooking of large cuts and poultry; Bull gives 1-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours as a typical range, depending on size and type.
- For indirect heat, cook on one side of the grill with the adjacent burner or the infrared rotisserie burner, remove the cooking grates for swing clearance, and set a basting pan on the flame tamers under the food.
- A foil or aluminum drip pan under the food cuts flare-ups; you can add beer, wine or water to the pan.
- Handle the spit forks with care, and use only factory-authorized Bull parts: other parts void the warranty and may be dangerous.
