3.5 Fry Hopper Hanger Alignment
Problem:
Operators are having trouble installing or aligning
hopper after removing it for daily cleaning.
1)
Dispenser should be turned OFF and the freezer
compartment fully defrosted before proceeding.
2)
Open the freezer compartment door; check the hopper-
bottom-to-freezer-bottom fit; and slide the hopper in and
out on the (right, left or center-on two lane models) upper
support hangers.
3)
If the hopper is difficult to remove and replace, check to
see if it hangs level (front-to-back) and parallel to the left
or right freezer side.
4)
If the hopper is not hanging straight, use a 10 mm [3/8”]
nut driver to loosen the two bolts on the right and/or left
support bracket.
NOTE:
On two lane models, loosen the
four Hopper Center Support Bracket mounting bolts.
5)
Support bracket mounting holes allow vertical movement
of the bracket, to adjust Hopper level and alignment
within the freezer compartment.
6)
Shift one or both brackets up or down as needed then
tighten the two (or four) bracket mounting bolts.
7)
Slide the hopper on to mounting brackets and visually
check Hopper alignment.
8)
Repeat adjustment as needed, until hopper is level,
parallel and slides on and off the support brackets easily.
[See Photo 1]
9)
Close door and return freezer-dispenser to service.

Empty hopper should easily slide
on and off side supports.
[Photo 2]
Side of hopper should be
roughly parallel to freezer wall.

]
Left & right side hopper supports
(& center support on two lane
models) have slotted holes to
allow up/down adjustment of
brackets.
