Leveling the Fryer, Legs Only, Rigid Casters Only

DEAN MILLIVOLT GAS FRYERS (NON-CE)

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.2Leg and Caster Installation (cont.)

4.Proceed to Step 3.3, Leveling the Fryer, after legs and rear rigid casters are installed to ensure the fryer is level before using.

B.Leg and Rigid Caster Installation

1.Remove unit from pallet.

2.Carefully raise unit with forklift, pallet jack, or other steady means.

3.Place one lock washer on each hex head screw.

4.Insert hex head screws with lock washers [1/4-20 threads by ¾" long] through bolt holes of leg mounting plates and mount to the front channel. Mount rigid casters to the rear channel following the same procedure. A locknut has been attached to the topside of the base mounting plates at the factory to capture the hex head screw as it is screwed in.

5.Tighten the bolts to 50 inch-lbs. (5.65 Nm) torque.

3.3 Leveling the Fryer

A.Place a carpenter’s spirit level across the top of the fryer and level the unit front to back. If the fryer is off level side to side, a platform or other surface adjustment is needed; there is no side- to-side level adjustments on a fryer equipped with caster/leg combinations. (If a fryer is equipped with legs only, side-to-side level adjustments can be made. If a fryer is equipped with casters only, no level adjustments to the fryer can be made.). If the fryer is not level, the unit may not function efficiently, the oil may not drain properly for filtering and in a multi-fryer battery, it may not match adjacent units.

Legs (Only)

1.Adjust leg height with an adjustable or 1-1/16-inch (27 mm) open-end wrench by turning the hex bullet on the bottom of the leg.

2.The hex bullet is for minor leg height adjustment only. Do not adjust more than 1-inch (25.4 mm).

3.When leveling the unit, the leg body should be held firmly to keep the leg from bending or rotating while turning the hex bullet foot to the required height.

Rigid Casters (Only)

1.Install the rigid casters on the fryer rear channel only. Legs must be installed on the front channel.

2.There are no level adjustments for the rigid casters.
