INITIAL START UP
1. Remove the top and front panels.
2. Open the water valve, and observe that the two
float reservoirs fill up with water and shut off.
3. Switch on the electrical power.
4. Open the hand valves (in the liquid lines).
5. Open the ball valves (in the suction lines).
6. Switch on one master switch, and observe:
The liquid line valve opens
The gearmotor runs
Within a short time, that side of the machine
begins to make ice.
Water flows from the water reservoir, and the float
drops, letting in more water.
7. Switch on the other master switch, observe that:
The liquid line valve opens
The gearmotor runs
Within a short time, that side of the machine
begins to make ice.
Water flows from the water reservoir, and the float
drops, letting in more water.
8. With both sides operating, the sight glass
should remain full, and the low side pressure will
be about 30 psig, + or - 2 psig. Gearmotor amp
draw should not exceed the nameplate rating.
9. Check the system very carefully for any
refrigerant leaks, repair as needed.
