Chapter 2: Operating Instructions
This chapter describes the procedures used to filter fryers using the reversible pump mobile filter
system. Figure 2-1 shows the locations of the filter system components. Figure 2-2 shows the filter
accessories and tools you should have to perform normal filtering operations. Frequent filtering of
your shortening will prolong the shortening's usable life. Daily shortening filtering is strongly
recommended.

2.1 GENERAL FILTER HINTS
1. Ensure that all oil in the filter pan is returned before it cools and hardens. This is very
important if you are using solid shortening.
2. Always use Pitco Precoat® for fastest filtrations, maximum labor saving, and cleanest/
clearest shortening possible. Impaired filter performance will result without the use of
a filter aid. Use the amount shown below depending on the fryer you are filtering:
Model 7/12................ 8 oz. by volume
Model 14/14B/14R ... 8 oz. by volume
Model 18................... 16 oz. by volume
3. The longevity of your oil is related to how clean you keep it. By removing suspended
particles often, it prevents them from burning.
