Lid Counterweight - Henny Penny 680 KFC Service Manual

The Lid Counterweight in the back of the fryer balances the
weight of the lid system to allow easier opening and closing
of the lid. The weight has two cables attached to it, and weighs
about 150 lbs. (67.5 Kg). One cable is centered on the weight
and is the cable being used. The other cable is a safety cable
and is off center. In case the main cable becomes loose or
broken, the safety cable catches the weight and puts the weight
into a bind, not allowing the lid to be opened or closed.
1. Using a 3/8" socket, remove the back shroud of the fryer.
2. With one person holding the weight level, another person
locks the lid down.
3. Unthread the broken cable from the weight and the
bracket attached to the fryer, and remove broken cable.
4. Thread a 5116" nut on each end of the new cable.
5. Screw the new cable into the weight, using a wrench, until
it is tight.
6. Using a l/2" wrench, tighten the nut (already threaded
on the cable) against the weight securing the cable into
the weight.
7. Pull cable over pulley and down behind the weight.
8. Thread the other end of the cable through a 5116" nut on
the underside of the bracket.
9. Tighten the cable up by screwing the cable through the
nut, until the weight becomes level.
