ASSEMBLY AND LEVELING
1.2.1 Leg/Caster Installation and Adjustment
Installing the legs and leveling the cooker is done using a 1/2" wrench and a large pair of water pump
pliers. The legs must be installed before connecting the cooker to the electric supply. The legs
provide the necessary height to meet sanitation requirements. Attach the legs to the cooker by
performing the following procedures:
a. Place a blanket, piece of cardboard, or some other material on the
floor behind the cooker.
b. Place the cooker on its back. DO NOT pull on the element junction
box. You can damage the elements by pulling on it.
c. Attach each leg/caster to the cooker with four 1/4-20 x 5/8" hex head
cap screws and lock washer/nut assemblies. These parts are sup-
plied with the cooker.
d. Mount the screws from the inside of the cooker with the lock washer
and nut on the outside of the cooker as shown in the adjoining
illustration.
e. When all four legs/casters are secured, place the cooker in the
upright position. Be careful not to put too much weight on
individual legs/casters when standing the cooker upright.
f. On fryers with casters, move the fryer to the desired location and
lock the wheels using the locking devices on the sides of the casters.
g. Adjust the height and level the cooker by adjusting the leveling
devices on the legs with water pump pliers.
1.2.2 Basket Lift Access
The basket lift mechanisms are installed at the factory and do not need adjustment. If it is necessary
to gain access to the basket lift motors or linkage, the rear panel of the cooker must be removed. The
motors do not require lubrication.
