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 - 4 psig. Gearmotor
amp draw should not exceed the nameplate
rating.
9. Check the system very carefully for any
refrigerant leaks, repair as needed.
