TB14 SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
3-1
3.1 Installing the Fryer
A. Initial Installation: If the fryer is installed with legs, do not push the fryer to adjust its
position. Use a pallet or lift jack to lift the fryer slightly, then place the fryer where it is to be
installed.
B. Relocating the fryer: Remove all weight from each leg before moving a fryer with legs
installed. Do not slide the fryer on the legs.
C. If a leg becomes damaged, contact your service agent for immediate repair/replacement.
3.2 Leveling the Fryer (fryers equipped with legs only)
A. All Installations: If the floor is uneven or has a definite slope, it is recommended to place
the fryer on an even platform.
B. Place a spirit level across the top of the fryer and level the unit both front-to-back and side-
to-side. If it is not level, the unit may not function efficiently, the oil may not drain properly
for filtering and in a line-up it may not match adjacent units.
C. Adjust to the high corner and measure with the spirit level. If floor is uneven, level the unit
with the screw adjustments on each leg (ensure minimum clearances as discussed in
Chapter 2 are maintained during the leveling procedure).
D. Re-leveling: If the fryer is moved, re-level the fryer following the above instructions.
E. The install must be reviewed at the time of installation to ensure it meets the intent of these
instructions.
CAUTION
Fryers must be at room temperature, empty of oil, and if fitted with legs, lifted during
movement to avoid damage and possible bodily injury.
DANGER
Hot shortening can cause severe burns. Avoid contact. Under all circumstances, oil
must be removed from the fryer before attempting to move it to avoid oil spills, and
the falls and severe burns that could occur. This fryer may tip and cause personal
injury if not secured in a stationary position.
