Wayne, I looked at the picture of your grill and it looks like you might be missing some parts. Take a look at mine and you can see a flat bar the goes between the front and back legs. I don't see that on yours. There is a rod that attaches to that flat bar that goes into a bracket in the middle of the swing up shelf. It looks like the rod that attaches to the back of the shelf is on your grill.
Here is a picture of the shelf and all the related parts.
