1.9.6 Leakage Problems

Leakage of the frypot almost always will be due to improperly sealed high limit switches, thermo- stats/temperature probes, and drain fittings. When installed or replaced, each of these components must be sealed with Loctite PST56765 sealant or equivalent to prevent leakage. In very rare cases, a leak may develop along one of the welded edges of the frypot. When this occurs, the frypot must be replaced.

If the sides and/or ends of the frypot are coated with oil/shortening, the most likely cause is spillage over the top of the frypot rather than leakage.

The clamps, which hold the drain tube sections together, may loosen over time as the tubes expand and contract with heating and cooling during use. If the section of drain tube connected to the drain valve is removed for whatever reason, make sure that its grommet is in good condition and properly fitted around the nipple of the drain when it is reinstalled. Also, check to insure that the drain tube runs downward from the drain along its whole length and has no low points where oil or shortening may accumulate.

1.9.7 Basket Lift Malfunctions

45 Series fryers may optionally be equipped with automatic basket lifts to ensure uniform cooking times. The lifts may be configured for manual control or for control via a Basket Lift Timer or Computer Magic computer. Basket lifts will always come in pairs, although each operates inde- pendently.

In units configured for manual (push-button) controls, a mechanical or electrical timer controls volt- age to the system. A rotary knob is turned to set the cook time, and pressing the button in the middle of the knob activates the motor.

In units with Computer Magic or Basket Lift Timers, timing circuitry in the controller initiates and stops basket lift operation depending upon the variables programmed by the operator. When the
