The Lid Counterweight in the back of the fryer balances the
weight of the lid system to allow easier opening and closing of
the lid. The weight has two cables attached to it, and weighs
about 150 lbs. (67.5 Kg).
1. Using a 3/8” socket, remove the nuts securing the rear
shroud of the fryer and remove the shroud.
2. Using Phillip’s-head screwdriver, remove screws securing
the top cap and remove cap.
3. Raise the lid.
4. Unscrew the broken cable from the weight assembly and
bracket attached to the fryer, and remove broken cable.
5. Screw a 5/16” nut on each end of the new cable.
6. Using a wrench, screw the new cable into the weight
assembly until tight.
7. Using a 1/2” wrench, tighten nut (already threaded on the
cable) against the weight assembly, securing the cable into
weight assembly.
8. Pull the cable over the pulley and down behind the weight
assembly.
9. Insert the cable into the hole in bracket and screw a 5/16”
nut onto end of the cable. Tighten cable, by screwing
the cable through this nut until the weight assembly
becomes level.
The safety cable should now have slack in it with the
weight assembly level.
10. Tighten the nut against the top of the bracket, securing the
cable.
