Lid Limit Stop Adjustment

The lid limit stop, with proper adjustment, prevents unnecessary
overtightening of the spindle, and as a result, extends the life of
the lid gasket.
1. Loosen the Allen set screws on the bottom of the collar of
the limit stop assembly.
2. Turn the inner collar of the limit stop clockwise as far as
possible. Find small hole in the inner collar and use a small
Allen wrench or Phillips head to help in turning the collar.
Step 1
3. Close lid and turn spindle until lid gasket meets top of the
frypot rim.
4. From this position, turn spindle at least 3/4 of a turn, but not
over one full turn.
5. After rotating spindle to this point, slightly extend spindle
past this position. The spindle should then be at the seven
o'clock position.
Step 2
The seven o'clock position is only to allow slight additional
turning of the spindle to relieve any side pressure that could
hold the locking pin in the locking collar after all pressure
has been released from the frypot.
