CHAPTER 3: RECEIVING & INSTALLING THE FILTER
3.1 General
Unpack the filter (or the fryer/filter combination) carefully and remove all filter parts from the
carton. Do not discard or misplace parts – they will be needed for final assembly.
After unpacking, immediately check the equipment for visible signs of shipping damage. If such
damage has occurred, do not refuse shipment. Contact the freight carrier and file the appropriate
damage claims. In case of shipping damage, do not contact the factory. The responsibility for
shipping damage is between the carrier and the dealer or end-user.
3.2 Installation Procedures
Installation must be planned in accordance with all applicable state and local codes, and as follows:
A.
Install casters on fryers/cabinets prior to assembling filter components (where applicable).
B.
Position all fryers/cabinets into their working position without joining, leaving enough space
for the filter.
C.
Join fryers on either side of filter with the drain tube in front, and the oil return line in rear.
Note:
Return oil line may be either rigid pipe or return hose with wand, depending on
arrangement ordered. Keep all oil-return line joints loose until full line-up is in place, and
then tighten finger tight only.
D.
The drain tube from inboard fryers must terminate in an elbow, with the pipe nipple
extending into the filter pan.
E.
Oil return lines are ½-inch steel tubing. Keep all joint fittings loose until the complete
fryer/filter battery is assembled and in place.
F.
Connect power to the filter by plugging the filter power supply cord into the appropriate
power outlet, located inside the fryer.
G.
Tighten the drain tube connections at the front and the nuts and bolts at the rear. Do not
over-tighten the oil return line connections.
H.
Connect the fryer electrical supply to power source.
