1.8.7 Improper Basket Lift Function

Bell-Crank Basket Lifts

Most Decathlon Series gas fryers are equipped with a bell- crank style basket lift. A cam and a bell crank are connected to the basket lift arm by a flat metal link. The cam is attached to a drive motor. The motor rotates the cam, raising or lowering the lift arm linked to the bell crank. A roller- activated microswitch is used to limit travel. When the roller in the microswitch is in contact with the cam, the motor is energized. As the cam rotates, the roller loses contact with the cam and the motor power circuit is broken, de-energizing the motor.

Timing circuitry in the controller initiates and stops basket lift operation. When the product button is pressed, the timing circuitry activates a coil in the basket lift relay to supply power to the motor. The microswitch stops the motor at the lift’s lower travel limit and the switch contacts are reversed. At the end of the programmed cooking time, the timing circuit activates the coil once more and the lift rises until the microswitch again loses contact with the cam, opening the motor power circuit and stopping the motor.

Problems with the bell-crank basket lift system can be grouped into two categories:

•binds and jams or

•motor and gear wear.

Binds and jams. Noisy, jerky, or erratic lift movement is usually due to lack of lubrication. Apply a light coat of Lubriplate or similar lightweight white grease to the connection points to correct the problem.

Motor Problems. If power is reaching the motor but the motor fails to run, the motor is burned out and must be replaced.
