Chapter 2 - Assembly and Leveling
When you receive your fryer it is completely assembled with the possible exception of the legs (or casters) and the heat shield. In some cases if you have purchased a multi-fryer unit you may need to assemble the system.
LEG/CASTER INSTALLATION and ADJUSTMENT
Installing the legs and leveling the fryer is done with two 7/16" wrenches and a large pair of Slip Lock pliers. The legs/casters must be installed to provide the necessary height to meet sanitation requirements and assure adequate air supply to the burners. Attach the legs/casters by performing the following procedure.
a. Lay the fryer on its back being careful not to damage the
flue by pulling on it. Protect the outside of the fryer with cardboard or similar material when laying it down.
b. Attach each leg/caster with the four 1/4-20 x 5/8" bolts
supplied with the fryer.
e. On units with casters, move the fryer to the desired location
and lock the wheels using the locking devices on the sides of the front wheels.
HEAT DEFLECTOR INSTALLATION
You will find a removable label at the rear top edge of the unit. This label has instructions for positioning and installation of the heat deflector. Refer to the label and the instructions below to install the deflector.
a. Remove the two self-drilling screws from the top, rear of
the fry tank.
b. Position the heat deflector so that the angled portion of the
deflector is facing toward the front of the fryer. Secure the heat deflector to the back of the unit using the sheet metal screws previously removed.

c. Mount the bolts from the inside of the fryer with the nut on
the outside. The nuts have lock washers attached to them, therefore it is not necessary to use lock washers.
d. When all four legs/casters are mounted, stand the unit up
being careful not to put too much weight on any one leg/ caster. Adjust the height and level the fryer by adjusting the leveling devices on the leg/caster with the water pump pliers.

WARNING
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion/ventilation or air openings around the fryer. Adequate clearance around the fryer is necessary for servicing and proper burner peration. Ensure that you meet the minimum clearances specified in the installation instructions.
c. When properly installed the angled section of the heat
deflector will extend over the flue opening to redirect the heat. It SHOULD NOT cover the flue opening. Nothing should block the flue opening as this will cause the fryer to overheat and produce dangerous gases.

BASKET LIFT ACCESS
The basket lift mechanisms are installed at the factory and do not need adjustment.
