Leveling The Fryer - Frymaster FLYMASTER KSCFH18E Installation & Operation Manual

KSCFH18E COOL ZONE SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS
3.2 Leg and Caster Installation (cont.)
4. Insert hex head screws with lock washers [1/4-20 threads by ¾" (19 mm) long] through bolt
holes of leg mounting plates and mount to the front channel. Mount rigid casters to the rear
channel following the same procedure. A locknut has been attached to the topside of the
base mounting plates at the factory to capture the hex head screw as it is screwed in.
5. Tighten the bolts to 5.65 joules (50 inch-lbs.) minimum torque.
For caster retrofit, the unit must be at room temperature and drained of shortening

3.3 Leveling the Fryer

A. Place a carpenter's spirit level across the top of the fryer and level the unit front-to-back. If the
fryer is off level side to side, a platform or other surface adjustment is needed; there is no side to
side level adjustments on a fryer equipped with caster/leg combinations (If a fryer is equipped
with legs only, side to side level adjustments can be made. If a fryer is equipped with casters
only, no level adjustments to the fryer can be made.). If the fryer is not level, the unit may not
function efficiently, the oil may not drain properly for filtering and in a multi-fryer battery, it
may not match adjacent units.
Legs (Only)
1. Adjust leg height with an adjustable or 1-1/16" (27-mm) open-end wrench by turning the
hex bullet on the bottom of the leg.
2. The hex bullet is for minor leg height adjustment only. Do not adjust more than 1" (22-
mm).
3. When leveling the unit, the leg body should be held firmly to keep the leg from bending or
rotating while turning the hex bullet foot to the required height.
Rigid Casters (Only)
1. Install the rigid casters on the rear of the fryer only. Legs must be installed on the front of
the fryer.
2. There are no level-adjustments for the rigid casters.
B. If the floor is uneven or has a decided slope, it is recommended to place the fryer on a level
platform.
C. If the fryer is moved, re-level the fryer following the instructions given in Steps 3.3.A-B.
