Use a crosstip head screwdriver to remove left side panel and rear panel from fryer.
Use an adjustable, or 1-1/2” wrench to loosen the two fittings to the pump return line and pull the short tube assembly from fryer.
Loosen the filter motor mounting bolts, if necessary.
Unscrew the check valve assembly from the elbow.
Unscrew the elbow from the vat.
Locate the elbow and nipple assembly in the kit. Place pipe sealant on the threads of the nipple and screw into the vat and tighten.
Locate the check valve and diverter assembly in the kit. Place pipe sealant onto threads of nipple and screw the parts onto the elbow, coming from the vat, and tighten.
Locate male connector in kit. Place pipe sealant onto threads and screw it into the diverter valve and tighten.
Locate the pump-check valve tube assembly in the kit and install it between the pump elbow and the male connector. Tighten all fittings with a wrench.
If the filter pump motor mounting bolts are loose, they must be tightened at this time. Lift up on the motor when tightening the bolts, or the motor will interfere with the filter pan.
Locate the handle and the “DISCARD OIL” label in kit. Place the label on the top, front edge of the handle. Remove nut on front of diverter valve, place handle over threaded shaft, and secure the handle with the nut and tighten.
Locate the direct-connect tube assembly in kit and fasten the fitting onto the elbow on the end of the check valve and diverter assembly.
Using the self-drilling screws supplied in the kit, mount the direct-connect tube assembly bracket to the rear frame.
Locate the Direct Connect hose assembly in the kit. Fasten the elbow onto the direct-connect tube assembly and tighten.

NOTE: The check valve and elbow should already be assembled in the kit.
Install two elbows on the solenoid valve. Make sure the opening of elbow is facing the back of the unit.
Reinstall the side and rear panels, and fryer is now ready for use.
