3. INSTALLATION
3.1 LEGS: Legs are installed at the factory.
They are firmly tightened to the frame to
keep the unit from tilting, thus preventing
any undue strain to the legs and internal
mounting hardware. After unpacking, it is
strongly recommended to check the legs to
make sure they are still firmly tightened.
3.2 POSITIONING:
a. Relocating The Fryer: Remove all
weight from each leg before moving.
b. If a leg becomes damaged during
movement, contact your service agent
for immediate repair/replacement of
that leg.
3.3 LEVELING:
a. Place a carpenter’s spirit level across
the top of the fryer and level the unit
both front-to-back and side-to-side. If
it is not level, the unit may not function
efficiently, the oil may not drain
properly for filtering and in a line-up it
may not match adjacent units.
b. If the platform is smooth and level,
level the unit by using the leg screw
threads; adjust to the high corner and
measure with the spirit level. The legs
have about one inch of adjustment
thread. When leveling the unit, the leg
body should be held firmly to keep the
leg from rotating while turning the 5/8”
bottom leg hex nut counterclockwise.
Turn the hex nut to adjust to required
height.
If adjustment exceeds one inch, the
unit will become unstable and tipping
can occur because the bottom hex
nut has been turned too far and may
come off.
c. If the platform is uneven or has a
decided slope, a smooth platform is
recommended for placing the unit on
and not relying on leg thread
adjustment.
d. After each move, as the fryer may not
return exactly to its previous position
after being moved, re-level the fryer as
stated above.
3.4 GAS CONNECTIONS: The gas
supply (service) line must be the same size
or greater than the fryer inlet line. This
fryer uses a ¾” NPT inlet; however, the
gas supply lines must be sized to
accommodate all the gas-fired equipment
that may be connected to that gas supply.
Consult your contractor, gas company,
supplier, or other knowledgeable
authorities.
a. Manual shut-off valve: This gas
service supplier-installed valve must
be installed in the gas service line
ahead of the fryer in the gas stream
and in a position where it can be
reached quickly in the event of an
emergency.
b. Pressure regulating:
1. External regulators are not
normally required on this fryer, as
a safety combination gas control
valve performs that function.
2. If the incoming pressure is in
excess of ½” PSIG (3.45 KPa), a
step-down regulator will be
required. Your local servicer
should check the manifold
pressure with a manometer.
Natural gas units require 3.5”
WC (8.71mbar) and propane
requires 10” WC (25mbar).
CAUTION
THIS FRYER MAY TIP AND CAUSE
PERSONAL INJURY IF NOT SECURED
IN A STATIONARY POSITION.
REMOVE ALL SHORTENING BEFORE
MOVING FRYER AS IT MAY CAUSE
SEVERE BURNS UPON CONTACT.
