CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.2Leg and Caster Installation (cont.)

2.When positioning the fryer, gently lower it into position to prevent undue strain to the legs and internal mounting hardware. If possible, use a pallet or lift jack to lift and position the fryer. Tilting the fryer may damage the legs.

3.The rigid casters must be installed on the fryer rear channel assembly only.

B.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" (19 mm) 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. Locknuts have been attached to the topside of the base mounting plates at the factory to capture hex head screws as they are screwed in.

5.Tighten the bolts to 50 in-lbf (5.65 joules) minimum torque.

6.After legs and rear rigid casters are installed, proceed to Step 3.3, Leveling the Fryer, to ensure the fryer is level before use.

WARNING

For caster retrofit, the unit must be at room temperature and drained of shortening

before installing the casters.

3.3 Leveling the Fryer

A.Place a level across the top of the fryer and level the unit front-to-back. If the fryer is uneven 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 it may not match adjacent units in a multi-fryer battery.
