1.3 LEG/CASTER INSTALLATION AND LEVELING
When you receive your appliance it is completely assembled with the possible exception of the legs
(or casters). This appliance must be installed with legs or casters or sealed to a base; it cannot be
curb mounted. Curb mounting will seriously inhibit this appliance’s ability to effect proper component
ventilation. The legs/casters must be installed before connecting the appliance to the power supply.
The legs provide the necessary height to meet sanitation requirements and assure adequate air
supply to the combustion system and for electrical component ventilation. Use the following
procedure.
Required tools: 7/16 “ wrench and socket and a large pair of water pump pliers.
1. Lay the appliance on its back, being careful not to damage the splash back by pulling on it.
Protect the outside of the appliance with cardboard or a drop cloth when laying it down.
2. Attach each leg/caster with the hex head screws and nuts supplied. Each leg/caster requires
four ¼-20 x 5/8” hex head screws and nuts. Insure that all screws are tight.
3. Mount the screws from the inside of the appliance with the nut on the outside (bottom) of the
appliance. The nuts have lock washers attached to them, therefore it is not necessary to use
separate lock washers.
4. When all four legs/casters are securely mounted, stand the unit up, being careful not to put
too much weight on any one leg. Adjust the height and level the appliance by adjusting the
leveling devices (B) with water pump pliers. On casters, loosen 2 screws (A) before leveling,
make your height adjustments, then retighten.
WARNING
DO NOT install legs or casters, or perform leveling procedure when appliance is in
operation or full of hot liquids. Serious injury could result.
WARNING
This appliance must be installed with the legs or casters provided by the manufacturer.
