3-13. PREVENTIVE Inspect Counter-weight Cables-Annually
MAINTENANCE
Continued Henny Penny 8 head fryers use two cables in the counter-weight
mechanism that helps in the raising and lowering of the lid. Cables
should be visually inspected yearly, either as part of a planned
maintenance program or during a routine service call. Cables more
than 10 years old should be replaced regardless of inspection results.
1. Using a 3/8” socket, remove the 6 keps nuts around
exterior of rear cover, shown in Figure 1.
2. Lift up on the rear cover and pull out at the bottom to clear
threaded studs. Figure 2. (Removing top shroud makes it easier
to remove the rear cover, but is not necessary.)
