General Maintenance Procedure
To insure economical, trouble free operation of your machine, it is recommended that the following maintenance be
performed every 6 months.
1. Clean the ice-making section per the instructions below. Cleaning should be performed a minimum of every 6
months. Local water conditions may require that cleaning be performed more often.
2. Check ice bridge thickness. See page 16
for proper thickness and adjustment procedure.
3. Check water level in trough. See page 16
for proper water level and adjustment.
4. Clean the condenser (air-cooled machines) to insure unobstructed air flow.
5. Check for leaks of any kind: Water, Refrigerant, Oil, Etc.
6. Check the bin control switch for proper adjustment. See page 17 for bin switch adjustment.
7. Check the water regulating valve (water cooled machine) for proper adjustment by measuring the discharge
pressure which should be adjusted to maintain 250 psi (17.01 bar / 1.723 MPa). Adjust the water regulating valve
as required. Water exiting the condenser should be between 100
°
F (38
°
C) and 110
°
F (43
°
C).
8. Check all electrical connections.
9. Oil the fan motor if the motor has an oil fitting. (Self contained air-cooled models only)
10. Check the water filter (if applicable) and replace if dirty or restricted.
11. Inspect the evaporator water distribution tube to insure even distribution of water across the face of the evaporator.
