Lubricate the conveyor drive motor as explained
below.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Remove the back cover of the heater head.
3. Unscrew the two bolts that connect the
conveyor drive assembly to the bottom of
the heater head.
CAUTION
Be gentle with all parts of the conveyor
drive assembly, especially when pulling it
out of the heater head and putting it back
in the heater head.. Damaging the parts
could stop production.
4. Carefully pull the motor out of the heater
head. See Figure 2-3.

6. Carefully put the motor back in the heater
head, bolt the motor to the heater head, and

Checking the Thermostat
If the quality of your product decreases, check
the accuracy of the thermostat. Heat some
shortening in the fryer, measure the temperature
of the shortening using a thermometer you know
to be accurate, and compare this reading to the
thermostat setting. It is important that you put the
thermometer in the top 1” (2.5 cm) or so of
shortening, because this is where the donuts are
fried, and this is where the temperature should be
consistent. If you need to calibrate the
thermostat, consult Section 5, “Electrical
Components.”
If you ever want to test the continuity of the
thermostat or any of the switches on your Donut
Robot, refer to Section 5, “Electrical
Components.”
