CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3-2
3.2 Leg and Caster Installation (cont.)
B. Leg and Rigid Caster 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 19 mm (¾") 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. A locknut has been attached to the topside of the
base mounting plates at the factory to capture the hex head screw as it is screwed in.
5. Tighten the bolts to 5.65 Nm (50 inch-lbs.) torque.
CAUTION
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 carpenter’s spirit level across the top of the fryer and level the unit front to back. If the
fryer is off level 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 in a multi-fryer
battery, it may not match adjacent units.
Legs (Only)
1. Adjust leg height with an adjustable or 27 mm (1-1/16-inch) open-end wrench by turning
the hex bullet on the bottom of the leg.
2. The hex bullet is for minor leg height adjustment only. Do not adjust more than 22 mm.
3. When leveling the unit, the leg body should be held firmly to keep the leg from bending or
rotating while turning the hex bullet foot to the required height.
