1.11 Basket Lift Service Procedures

2836 Series Electric fryers may optionally be equipped with automatic basket lifts to ensure uniform

cooking times. Electric fryers can be equipped with "modular" or "bell-crank" basket lifts.

A modular basket lift (illustrated) consists

of a toothed rod to which the basket lift arm

is attached, a reversible-drive gear motor

and a pair of roller-activated microswitches.

The gear motor engages the teeth of the

rods, moving them up or down, depending

upon the motors' direction. The

microswitches at the upper and lower limits

of movement stop the motor when the

basket is in the full up or full down position.

Timing circuitry in the controller initiates

and stops basket lift operation depending

upon the variables programmed by the

operator. When the product button is

pressed, the timing circuitry activates a coil

in the basket lift relay to supply power to the

lower microswitch. The microswitches stop

the motor at the lift's upper and lower travel

limits and reverse the direction of current
