3. INSTALLATION
3.1 POSITIONING:
a. Initial Installation: If installed with
legs, do not push against any unit edges
to adjust its 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.
Note: If a leg becomes damaged during
movement, contact your service agent for
immediate repair/replacement of that leg.
3.2 LEG AND CASTER INSTALLATION:
a. General:
1. Install legs and casters (optional)
near where the fryer is to be used, as
neither are secure for long transit.
Unit cannot be curb mounted and
must be equipped with the legs (or
legs and optional rigid casters)
provided.
2. When positioning the fryer, gently
lower the fryer into position to
prevent undue strain to the legs and
internal mounting hardware. Use a
pallet or lift jack to lift and position
the fryer if possible. Tilting the fryer
may damage the legs.
3. If the optional rigid casters are to be
installed on the fryer, the casters
must be installed on the fryer rear
channel assembly only.
4. Proceed to Step 3.3, Leveling, after legs
and/or optional rear rigid casters are
installed to ensure the fryer is level before
using.
b. Leg Installation:
1. Remove unit from pallet.
2. Carefully raise unit with forklift, pallet
jack, or other steady means.
3. Insert hex head bolts (1/4-20 threads by
19mm (¾") long) from top of side panels
and channels through bolt holes of leg
mounting plates as shown in the Figure
3-1 on the next page.
4. Mount washer and lock nuts (1/4-20
threads Stover lock nut) from bottom of
the leg mounting plates. The lock nut has
a portion of threads deflected. Make sure
the nut starts freely on the bolt like a
common nut until the deflected thread
portion is reached.
5. On the front door hinge corner, the bolts
will be inserted first through the holes of
the hinge plate, then followed with side
panel, channel, and leg mounting plate.
6. Tighten the bolts and nuts with each bolt
to 5.65 joules (50 inch-lbs.) minimum
torque.
c. Installing Optional Rear Rigid Casters:
1. Install casters only at the rear of the unit
as shown in the Figure 3-1.
2. Follow the same instructions for leg
installations as given above in steps
3.2.b.1-6.
