Electrical diagram located on inside of door.

GAS CONNECTION

NOTICE gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of propane gases.

The gas inlet is located on the lower rear of the fryer. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the fryer.

The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of 12 " (12.7 mm) iron pipe for single units and 1-1/4" (31.75 mm) for batteries. If using the optional quick-disconnect flex hose, 34 " (19 mm) iron pipe for single units and 1-1/4" (31.75 cm) iron pipe for batteries.

Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound. A battery requires one or two connections of appropriate size for the gas requirement.

APWARNING, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks. Use soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame.

After piping has been checked for leaks, fully purge gas pipes to remove air.

GAS PRESSURES (ALL MODELS):

The gas measured exiting the gas valve should be set at .08" W.C. (Water Column) (0.02 kPa) for natural gas and .08" W.C. (0.02 kPa) for propane gas. This fryer has been gas calibrated at the factory to achieve maximum performance. Do not make any adjustments to the gas valve assembly. The supply pressure should be 7-9" W.C. for natural gas and 11-12" W.C. for propane gas. If incoming pressure exceeds 14" WC ( 12 psig -3.45 kPa), a step-down pressure regulator must be installed.

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM:

When test pressures exceed 12 psig (3.45 kPa), the fryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

When test pressures are 12 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the fryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve.

Fryers with Casters:

Separate instructions for installing casters are included with the casters:

- The installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69, CAN/CGA-6.16, and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-

Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI z21.41.CSA 6.9 or Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel.

- When installing a quick disconnect you must also install a means for limiting the movement of the fryer. This device will prevent the gas line or quick disconnect from being strained. The restraining device should be attached to the cutout on the back panel. See illustration for location.

A B VH10049

A Rear of Fryer
B Strain Relief Chain Connection (Chain supplied by others)

• The fryer must be installed with a connector (not supplied by Vulcan) complying with the above codes.
• The fryer must be installed with restraining means to guard against transmission of strain to the connector. See illustration.
• The fryer must be installed with the casters provided.
• If the restraint is ever to be disconnected, first turn the gas supply off. If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, reconnect this restraint after the fryer has been returned to its originally installed position.
