INSTALLATION CHECKS
Although the kettle has been thoroughly tested before leaving
the factory, the installer is responsible for ensuring the proper
operation of kettle once installed.
1.
Before turning the kettle on, read the vacuum/pressure
gauge. The gauge's needle should be in the green zone.
If the needle is in the "VENT AIR" zone, follow air venting
procedure.
2.
Unit has been thoroughly checked for gas leaks at the
factory however the installer should check all connections
for any leaks which may have resulted from shipping or
installation.
3.
Supply power to the kettle by placing the fused
disconnect switch to the "ON" position.
4.
Open gas shut-off valve to turn on main gas supply.
5.
Turn the temperature control knob to "1" (Min.). The green
LED light should remain lit, indicating the burner is lit, until
the set temperature is reached. Then the green light will
cycle on and off, indicating the burner is cycling on and
off to maintain temperature.
6.
Tilt the kettle forward. After a few seconds the red "LOW
WATER" light should be lit when the kettle is in a tilted
position. This light indicates that the burner has
automatically been shut off by the kettle's safety circuit.
This is a normal condition when the kettle is in a tilted
position.
7.
Raise the kettle to the upright position. The red "LOW
WATER" light should go out when the kettle is upright.
8.
Turn the temperature control knob to "10" (Max.) and allow
the kettle to preheat. The green light should remain on
until the set temperature is reached. Then the green light
will cycle ON and OFF, indicating the burner is cycling
ON and OFF to maintain temperature.
9.
Check carbon monoxide is less than 0.08 percent in an
air-free sample of the flue gases. See FREE AIR
CALCULATION procedure in “Maintenance Procedures &
Parts Lists” manual.
MIXER
1.
Raise Bridge - If bridge does not raise then check motor
rotation. Bridge should not raise until speed control is turned
to minimum and then adjusted back up.
2.
Swing Bridge - Bridge when fully raised should swing
without hitting any object, i.e. control housing, kettle lip.
Check that hydraulic hoses are not being pinched by stops
on swivel assembly.
3.
Tilt Kettle - Kettle tilts smoothly both down and back up. If
power tilt, check that micro switches are adjusted properly
(kettle is level in upright position and drains fully when tilted)
and are not being crushed by gear.
4.
Lower Bridge - Raise bridge. Switch to mix. Turn speed
control to zero to reset micro switch then set speed control to
number four. Check that unit does not begin to mix until
bridge has lowered part way into the kettle. Check that mixer
bridge pin lowers into pin hole correctly
5.
Speed Control - Main - Main agitator arm not rotating
when set at "0" but will start to move slowly on "1". Speed
control makes positive contact with micro switch.
6.
Speed Control - Secondary- Set main speed control to five.
Adjust secondary control from minimum to maximum. Look for
considerable speed variance.
7.
Water Faucets - Turn on hot water faucet. Turn off and
check for leaks in piping and drips from faucet spout. Repeat
above with cold water faucet.
8.
Product Discharge - Add water to kettle. Check for leaks
from valve. Open and close valve a few times Valve and check
for leaks again.
