Fryers Mounted on Optional Casters
Fryers mounted on casters must use a flexible
connector (NOT SUPPLIED BY VULCAN) that
complies with the Standard for Connectors of
Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI-Z21.69 • CSA6.16
and a quick-disconnect device that complies with
the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for
Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI-Z21 • CSA6.9.
In addition, adequate means must be provided to
limit the movement of the appliance without depending
on the connector and the quick-disconnect device
or its associated piping to limit the appliance
movement. Attach the restraining device to the rear
of the fryer as shown in Fig. 1.
If it is necessary to disconnect the restraint, turn off the gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect
the restraint before turning the gas supply on and returning the fryer to its installation position.
Instructions for installing casters to the fryer are included with the casters.
LEVELING THE FRYER
Stand Alone Installations
Once gas connections have been made, place a spirit level on top of the fryer. Adjust the legs to ensure
that the fryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side in the final installed position.
Battery Installations
When the fryer is part of a battery lineup, line the fryer up front-to-back and side-to-side with adjacent
battery equipment. Equipment front tops and manifold pipes must be aligned with adjacent equipment.
Once the fryer is in its exact location in the battery lineup, place a spirit level on top of the fryer. Adjust
the legs to ensure that the fryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side in the final installed position.
GAS CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant
to the action of propane gases.
WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR
LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
Rear Gas Connection for Stand Alone Installations
The gas inlet is located at the lower left rear.
Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the fryer.
The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of
1
/2" (12.7 mm) iron pipe. If using the optional quick-
disconnect flex hose,
3
/4" (19 mm) iron pipe must be used unless
3
/4" (19 mm) to
1
/2" (12.7 mm) reducing
fittings are used. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
