GRIDDLE TOP MANUAL LIFT
CHECK
Always hold handle to maintain
control of the unit until lifting mechanism holds in the
desired raised position or rests in the lowered position.
Do not allow unit to swing upward or downward under
its own power as this may result in injury or equipment
damage.
Do not force unit if it does not move up and
down in the prescribed manner. The assembly may be
damaged by the application of excessive upward or
downward force.
NOTE: A spring force adjustment is not provided on
this unit. It's designed to apply a consistent downward
force on the food product regardless of thickness. Use
the PLATE GAP ADJUSTER to prevent crushing of
soft foods by the downward force of the unit.
Perform this procedure to manually check the raising
and lowering operation of the griddle top.

If the lifting operation was smooth without binding
or catching and remained in place at the raised
position then servicing is not necessary. If the
lifting operation was binding and catching then
inspect the lifting mechanism for damaged, loose
or missing hardware and service to repair as
necessary.
PLATE GAP ADJUSTER
The plate gap adjuster (1, Fig. 42) is used to prevent
soft foods from being crushed by the downward force
of the unit. The 1" setting would be used for the
smallest or no gap with 4" being used to create the
largest gap.
Settings are changed by rotating the gap adjuster to
the left or right until it locks in place at the desired gap
setting.
