ASSEMBLY
Legs
Position fryer in an open space near the final installation area. Tilt fryer back, being careful to avoid
scratching the finish. Thread front legs clockwise into mounting plates provided on the bottom of
the fryer until seated. Tilt to front and thread back legs similarly. Carefully raise fryer to its normal
position and place it in the installing location.
Fryers Mounted on Optional Casters
Fryers mounted on casters must use a flexible
connector (NOT SUPPLIED BY VULCAN) that
complies with the Standard for Connectors of Movable
Gas Appliances, ANSI-Z21.69 • CSA6.16 and a quick-
disconnect device that complies with the Standard
for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel,
ANSI-Z21 • CSA6.9.
In addition, adequate means must be provided to
limit the movement of the appliance without depending
on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or
its associated piping to limit the appliance movement.
Attach the restraining device to the rear of the fryer
as shown in Fig. 1.
If it is necessary to disconnect the restraint, turn off the gas supply before disconnection.
Reconnect the restraint before turning the gas supply on and returning the fryer to its installation
position.
Instructions for installing casters to the fryer are included with the casters.

GAS CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be
resistant to the action of propane gases.
The gas inlet is located at the lower left rear.
Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the fryer.
The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of
1

quick-disconnect flex hose,
3

reducing fittings are used. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping
compound.
WARNING:
PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR
LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove
air.
