Maintenance

NOTICE: Contact an authorized representative when

repairs are required.

A Maintenance and Service Log is provided at the back of this manual. Each time

maintenance is performed on your kettle, enter the date on which the work was done,

what was done, and who did it. File the log with the warranty.

Periodic inspection will minimize equipment down time and increase the efficiency of

operation. The following points should be checked:

Once a day, with pressure in the jacket, check the operation of the safety valve.

Lift the lever of the safety valve until steam is released. Then release the

lever and let the valve snap shut. If the lever does not activate, or there is no

evidence of discharge, or the valve leaks, immediately discontinue use of the

kettle and contact a qualified service representative.

At least once every 90 days, inspect fittings and valves for signs of damage

or wear. Regularly examine trunnion packings and valve seats for wear, and

replace them when necessary.

NOTE: Service performed by other than factory authorized personnel will void

all warranties.

Lubricate trunnions and gears with a good grade of high temperature grease.

Grease trunnions at least once every 60 days, and grease gears when

inspection shows that they are dry.

WARNING

WHEN TESTING, AVOID ANY EXPOSURE

TO THE STEAM BLOWING OUT OF THE

SAFETY VALVE. DIRECT CONTACT

COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
