Checking and Replacing Filter Pan O-Rings

To avoid severe burns when pouring hot oil into vat, wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and take care to avoid splashing.

To prevent oil leaking, and to keep filtering process operating properly, the filter pan o-rings should be inspected for nicks and tears at least every 3 months. Visually check the 3 o-rings on the tube of the filter pan for any cracks or breaks and replace if necessary.

  1. To replace o-ring, use a small, flat-bladed screwdriver, pry up on o-ring and pull off of end of tube.

  2. Roll new o-ring into notch on tube.
  3. Lubricate o-rings on filter tube with fresh, cold oil & push filter pan into position.
