position. Use a pallet or lift jack to lift it slightly and place it where it is to be installed.
B. Relocating the Fryer: If relocating a fryer installed with legs, remove all weight from each
leg before moving.

repair/replacement of the damaged leg.

position. Drain all oil/shortening from fryer before moving. Hot oil will splash and
cause severe burns upon contact.
