Inspect for Plumbing Leaks in the Filtration System
Objective and Inspection

To identify if any leaks exist with the filtration system during filtration and then also during
cooking. Also to ensure all of the components of the drain pan are present. Tip! A good time to
inspect the filtration during cooking would be during the lid lock engagement / disengagement
test by watching for drain valve leaks or oil return leaks to the drain pan. Filtration components
can be found in the parts section of the corresponding technical manual.

Test Procedure for plumbing leaks
during filtration
1. Remove the right side panel from
the fryer.
2. Use a flashlight to inspect the fitings
of the filtration plumbing and
between the filter pump and motor
for oil leaks (figures 1).
3. Drain about half the vat of oil to the
drain pan.
4. Turn the power switch to the pump
position to pump the oil back up to
the fry pot.
5. While the oil is pumping, use a
flashlight to inspect for oil leaks.
6.
If leaks are detected with plumbing,
disassemble, clean, and reassemble
the fittings using pipe thread sealant
on threaded fittings, or replacing
any worn sleeve fittings on
compression fittings.
7.
If leaks are detected between the
filter pump motor and the pump,
replace the seal kit.
