Wendy's Henny Penny Computron 2000 Pressure Fryer/500,600: Quarterly Maintenance

Reversing the lid gasket helps to prevent early failure of lid gasket and the loss of pressure during a cook cycle.

Back the 4 lid liner screws (2 on each side) out about 1/2 inch (12.7 mm).
Using a thin blade screwdriver pry out the gasket at the corners, and then pull gasket from lid.
Clean the gasket and gasket seat with hot water and cleaning detergent. Rinse with clean hot water.
Install the gasket with the “good” side out and tighten the 4 screws.

Close and latch the lid, and turn the spindle counterclockwise until it stops.
Press down on the front of the cross bar, pull out the release pin, lift the latch, and raise the cross bar.
Using spindle lube (part no. 12124), lubricate the ball seat in the center of the lid cover.
Turn spindle clockwise until it stops and then lubricate the threads on the spindle using the spindle lube.
Turn the spindle counterclockwise until it stops, line up the lid cover with the cross bar, pull the release pin out, and firmly press the cross bar back into place.
The fryer is now ready for use.

Close and latch lid, and turn spindle counterclockwise until it stops.
Using a 3/16” Allen wrench, loosen the 2 set screws on the outer collar of the limit stop.
Turn the inner collar clockwise until it stops.
Turn spindle clockwise until it stops. The lid gasket is now touching the frypot rim.
From the front of the fryer, turn the spindle at least 3/4 of a turn, but not over 1 turn. One of the spindle arms should be lined up with the red ball of the latch, at this time.
Slightly turn the spindle past this position, so it should show in about the 7 o’clock position.
Turn the inner collar counterclockwise until it stops against the bottom hub of the spindle.
Tighten Allen screws.

Check that all spreader bars are in place (4 sets), and using a 5/16” socket or wrench, tighten all the element spreader screws.
Pump shortening back into frypot and unit is now ready for use.
