2.2 Caster/Leg Installation
Depending upon the specific configuration ordered, your unit might have been shipped without in-
stalled casters or legs. If casters or legs are installed, you may skip this section and proceed to Sec-
tion 2.3, Pre-Connection Preparations.
If your unit requires the installation of casters/legs, install them in accordance with the in-
structions included in your accessory package.
2.3 Pre-Connection Preparations
After the unit has been positioned in the area where it will be used, ensure the following have been
accomplished before connecting the unit to the electrical power source:
1. This equipment must be stabilized by installing restraining chains on units equipped with
casters or anchor straps on units equipped with legs. Follow the instructions shipped with
the casters/legs to properly install the chains or straps.
2. Level units equipped with legs by screwing the legs out approximately 1 inch, then adjusting
them so that the unit is level.
For units equipped with casters, there are no built-in leveling devices. The floor where the
unit is to be installed must be level.
3. Install the basket lift arms (on units so equipped) on the lift rods (located at the top rear of
the cabinet) so that the basket lift rollers guides the lift arms.
NOTE: Some adjustment of the rollers may be necessary for free movement of the basket lift
arms.
4. If so equipped, connect the water hose(s) to the fitting(s) at the rear of the unit and connect
the unit to the water supply.
CAUTION
Incoming water pressure for all units should be approximately 40 PSI (2.8kg/cm2).
DANGER
The maximum allowable incoming water pressure for all units is 80 PSI (5.62 kg/cm2).
The maximum allowable incoming water temperature for all units is 180ºF (82ºC).
WARNING
To prevent back flushing, the connection piping should be installed with a vacuum breaker
or means of providing an air gap 1” (2.54 cm) above the cookpot rim.
NOTE: On units equipped with water hoses, the hoses come with a quick-disconnect coupl-
ing. The quick disconnect may be attached to the unit or to the water supply line, or it may
be left off entirely, whichever you prefer. If the unit is to be moved frequently (for cleaning
or preventive maintenance), Frymaster recommends installing flexible water lines. If the
cooker is hard-plumbed then moved, the connections may loosen and eventually cause leaks.
