Spreader Bar and High Limit Bracket Tightening
580 and 590 only
Objective

The four heating element spreader bars and the high limit bracket loosen through normal
heating and cooling of the oil. This heating and cooling of the oil causes the fry vat surfaces to
expand and contract. Over time, this expansion and contraction may cause the element
spreader bars and high limit bracket loosen. If this loosening is not addressed, the high limit
bulb and capillary tube can shift. This can lead to interference with the carrier that slides into
the lid or unwanted capillary tube movement during cleaning and brushing the fry vat.
Tightening prevents high limit issues and or heating element issues.
Inspection
1. Verify all four of the spreader bars are present and each spreader bar has four screws. Replace
any damaged or missing parts. Do the same with the high limit bracket and 6 screws. Part
numbers can be found in each model’s technical manual.
