The Lid Counterweight in the back of the fryer balances the weight of the lid system to allow easier opening and closing of the lid. The weight has two cables attached to it, and weighs about 150 lbs. (67.5 ). One cable is centered on the weight and is the cable being used. The other cable is a safety cable and is off center. In case the main cable becomes loose or broken, the safety cable catches the weight and puts the weight into a bind, not allowing the lid to be opened or closed.
1.Using a 3/8” socket, remove the back shroud of the fryer.
2.With one person holding the weight level, another person locks the lid down.
3.Unthread the broken cable from the weight and the bracket attached to the fryer, and remove broken cable.
4.Thread a 506” nut on each end of the new cable.
5.Screw the new cable into the weight, using a wrench, until it is tight.
