Fryers Mounted on Optional Casters

Fryers mounted on casters must use a flexible connector (NOT SUPPLIED BY VULCAN) that complies with the Standard for Connectors of Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI-Z21.69 • CSA6.16 and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI-Z21 • CSA 6.9.

In addition, adequate means must be provided to
limit the movement of the appliance without
depending on the connector and the quick-
disconnect device or its associated piping to limit
the appliance movement. Attach the restraining	Fig. 1
device to the rear of the fryer as shown in Fig. 1.	Fig. 1

If it is necessary to disconnect the restraint, turn off the gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect the restraint before turning the gas supply on and returning the fryer to its installation position.

Instructions for installing casters to the fryer are included with the casters.

LEVELING THE FRYER

Stand Alone Installations

Once gas connections have been made, place a spirit level on top of the fryer. Adjust the legs to ensure that the fryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side in the final installed position.

Battery Installations

When the fryer is part of a battery lineup, line the fryer up front-to-back and side-to-side with adjacent battery equipment. Equipment front tops and manifold pipes must be aligned with adjacent equipment. Once the fryer is in its exact location in the battery lineup, place a spirit level on top of the fryer. Adjust the legs to ensure that the fryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side in the final installed position.
