Blodgett MT3870 Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual page 19

GAS HOSE RESTRAINT
If the oven is mounted on casters, a commercial
flexible connector with a minimum of 3/4" (1.9 cm)
inside diameter must be used along with a quick
connect device.
The restraint, supplied with the oven, must be
used to limit the movement of the unit so that no
strain is placed upon the flexible connector. The
restraint should be fastened to the base frame of
the oven as close to the flexible connector as pos-
sible. It should be short enough to prevent any
strain on the connector. With the restraint fully
stretched the connector should be easy to install
and quick connect.
The restraint (ie: heavy gauge cable) should be at-
tached without damaging the building. DO NOT
use the gas piping or electrical conduit for the at-
tachment of the permanent end of the restraint!
Use anchor bolts in concrete or cement block. On
wooden walls, drive hi test wood lag screws into
the studs of the wall.
WARNING!!
If the restraint is disconnected for any
reason it must be reconnected when the
oven is returned to its original position.
