1.3 ASSEMBLY AND LEVELING
When you receive your fryer it is completely assembled with the possible exception of the legs (or
casters) and the heat shield. In some cases if you have purchased a multi-fryer unit you may need to
assemble the system.
1.3.1 Leg/Caster Installation and Adjustment
Installing the legs and leveling the fryer is done with a 7/16" wrench, socket,
and a large pair of water pump pliers. The legs/casters must be installed to
provide the necessary height to meet sanitation requirements and assure
adequate air supply to the burner. Attach the legs by performing the following
procedure.
a. Lay the fryer on its side being careful not to damage the flue by
pulling on it. Protect the outside of the fryer with cardboard or a
drop cloth when laying it down.
b. Attach each leg/caster with the hex head cap screws supplied with
the fryer. Each leg/caster requires four 1/4-20 x 5/8" cap screws.
c. Mount the screws from the inside of the fryer with the nut on the
outside. The nuts have lock washers attached to them, therefore it
is not necessary to use lock washers.
d. When all four legs/casters are mounted, stand the unit up being
careful not to put too much weight on any one leg/caster. Adjust
the height and level the fryer by adjusting the leveling devices on
the leg/caster with the water pump pliers.
e. On units with casters, move the fryer to the desired location and
lock the wheels using the locking devices on the sides of the
casters.
1.3.2 Heat Deflector Installation
You will find a removable label at the rear top edge of the unit. This label has instructions for
positioning and installation of the heat deflector. Refer to the label and the instructions below to
install the deflector.
a. Remove the two self-drilling screws from the top, back area of the cooker.
b. Position the heat deflector so that the angled portion of the deflector is facing toward the
front of the fryer. Secure the heat deflector to the back of the unit using the sheet metal
screws previously removed.
