Leg and Caster Installations

Installing Optional Swivel Casters
:
1. Swivel casters can only be used with
multiple fryer batteries (two or more
fryers battered together).
2. Install non-locking casters only at the rear
of the unit as shown in the Figure 3-1.
3. Locking casters must be installed at the
front of the unit. This allows the fryer
to be "locked" in position for safe
operations.
4. Follow the same instructions for leg
installations as given above in steps
3.2.b.1-5.
3.3 LEVELING:
a. Place a carpenter’s spirit level across
the top of the fryer and level the unit
both front-to-back and side-to-side. If
the fryer is not level, the unit may not
function efficiently, the oil may not
drain properly for filtering and in a
line-up it may not match adjacent
units.
b.
Legs (Only):
1. If the floor is smooth and level,
level the unit by using the caster
shims. Adjust to the high corner
and measure with the spirit level.
2. Adjust
leg
height
with
an
adjustable or 27mm (1-1/16”)
open end wrench by turning the
hex bullet on the bottom of the
leg. See figure 3-2 on page 7.
3.
The hex bullet is for minor leg
height adjustment only. Do not
adjust more than 22mm (1").
WARNING!
A FRYER MUST BE LEVEL BEFORE
FILLING WITH OIL. IF THE FRYER
IS NOT LEVEL, THE FRYER MAY
TIP OVER AND MAY CAUSE
INJURY TO THE OPERATOR.
