Cutter Blade and Adapter Plate Adjustment

Cutter Adapter Plate Installation

1. Disconnect and lock-out all power to the machine and remove the water tank assembly so the

cutter is accessible (see water tank removal).

2. Locate the new adapter plate, holding the correct dimension “A” from the edge of the plate to the

edge of the blade. See Figure 9.

3. Using two C-clamps to hold the adapter plate securely in place, drill four 7/16” diameter holes

through the adapter plate and through the cutter plate at the same time so they will adjoined
properly.

4. Countersink the holes in the adapter plate to make the bolt heads flush with the plate.

5. Install bolts and spacers as illustrated and tighten securely. Note: the length of ice is determined

by the spacer length. Refer to “Ice Length” for details.

6. Install the water tank assembly to the machine.
Note: Length of cylinder ice can be changed. See Section 10.
