ANNUAL SAFETY INSPECTION CHECKLIST
This Annual Safety Inspection Checklist ( “Inspection” ) applies to all Collectramatic® Fryers.
The inspection performs an important safety function. It provides for an annual inspection
of each fryer. Each inspected fryer will be designated as either:
A) Pass
B) Fail & Decommission
C) Fail & Remove Fryer from Use until Repaired
D) Fail & Repair Promptly
The inspection does not replace any other recommended inspections, maintenance or repairs
of Collectramatic Fryers. See Owner's Manual for details.
Instructions
Step 1- Inspect for 25 Year Useful Life
The dened useful life of a Collectramatic Pressure Fryer is 25 years from date of manufacture. Any
Collectramatic Pressure Fryer that has reached its useful life is to be decommissioned immediately,
either through physical destruction or transformation of the pressure fryer into an open fryer through
the use of the dened process. If any of the following criteria apply to the Collectramatic Pressure
Fryer during inspection, the fryer will be designated as Fail & Decommission:
1. Fryer Lid or Front Block include any Cam Lock components (Fig. A and Fig. B)
2. Fryer Lid includes Pressure Lock components (Fig. B)
3. Fryer Serial Number to show an age of 25 years or more (Fig. C)
4. No identication of valid Serial Number found on fryer

Fig. C - Serial Number Key for Useful Life
Serial numbers may be listed on the ID tag of the front panel of the fryer. If no ID tag is present or
the ID tag was replaced with an upgrade control kit, the original serial number is etched onto the front
right side of the fryer pot rim. A serial tag from an upgrade control kit can NOT be used to determine
useful life.

Step 2 - Inspect Pressure Components
Fryer should be emptied of oil and cooled to room temperature prior to inspection.
1. Lid Inspection - Examine all lid components for damage such as bends, cracks, or broken
welds (Fig. D). Open and Close lid with gasket installed to ensure proper function.
Remove lid valve (Fig. D #8) to verify O-Ring (Fig. D #9) is not attened,
frayed, or torn. Inspect Lid Gasket (Fig. E) to verify it is not attened, frayed, or torn.

Fig. F - Front Latch Block Fig. G - Front Block Gasket
Front Latch acceptable = Pass Front Latch Inspection
Silicone/Gasket missing = Fail and Repair Promptly
Front Latch not acceptable = Fail and Remove Fryer from Use until Repaired
3. Rear Block Inspection - Inspect Rear Block (Fig. H & I) to ensure that the block has a bump on the top.
Inspect to ensure that there are no cracks or broken welds. Inspect pins to ensure they are not bent or
loose. While pins may spin or slide side to side, they may not move more than 1/16th of an inch. Ensure
that there is a gasket or food-grade silicone between the fryer top and the base of the block.
