Step 3: Install the Legs (or Casters) and Restraints
A set of legs or casters is packed with the fryer. A threaded pad is fastened to the base frame at each corner
(see illustration on page 7). Each leg or caster has a similar mating thread. When casters have been
ordered, the casters are provided with a Zerk fitting for proper lubrication when required.
1. Raise fryer sufficiently to allow legs or casters to be screwed into the pads. For safety, “shore up” and
support the fryer with an adequate blocking arrangement strong enough to support the load.
2. Screw the four legs or casters to the pads on the bottom of the fryer. When casters have been ordered,
the casters having a locking-brake should be attached under the front of the fryer.
3. Lower the fryer gently. Never drop or allow the fryer to fall.
4. Use a level to make sure that the fryer is level. Each caster, or the tubular-end of each leg, can be
screwed in or out to lower or raise each corner of the fryer. For fryers having casters, tighten the lock
nuts after the unit has been leveled.
5. Attach restraints as required by local codes.
NOTICE
Unit must be level to assure maximum performance. Improper leveling may void warranty.
NOTICE
Adequate restraining means must be attached to rear of appliance when installed. Installation must
conform to local codes as applicable.
! WARNING
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary to move the appliance for cleaning, etc., reconnect it
when the appliance is moved to its original installed position.
! WARNING
For an appliance equipped with casters, the installation shall be made with a connector that complies
with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or Connectors for
Moveable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.16, and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the
Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41, or Quick Disconnect
Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, CAN1-6.9. Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement
of the appliance without depending on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or its
associated piping to limit the appliance movement.
! WARNING
All GFS Series Fryers must be restrained to prevent tipping in order to avoid the splashing of hot
liquid. The means of restraint may be the manner of installation, such as connection to a battery of
appliances or installing the fryer in an alcove, or by separate means, such as adequate ties.
