3. Installing Your Tube-Ice Machine
Your machine will be shipped to you as one package. You will need to arrange for the handling of
the package as soon as it arrives, see the machine specifications Table 2-1
for shipping and operating
weight. Before you remove the unit from the truck, be certain that any sign of damage, however
slight, is noted on the carrier’s papers.
Note: See “Lifting Procedure” drawing furnished with this manual, Fig 3-5 and 3-6.
Machine Room.
The machine must be located inside a suitable building and must not be subjected
to ambient temperatures below 50 ° F (10 ° C) or above 110 ° F (43.3 ° C). Heat radiation from other
sources (sunlight, furnaces, condenser, etc.) and unusual air current may affect the operation of the
machine and should be avoided.
The electrical components of the Tube-Ice
®
machine are rated
NEMA 1. Therefore, the machine should not be located in a hazardous area or sprayed with
water.
The machine should be installed in an area where water will not stand, but will readily drain
away from the machine.
Space Requirements.
Refer to the space diagrams, Figures 3-1 and 3-3, for recommended
minimum clearance around the machine for ease of servicing and observation. Pay particular
attention to the additional space required. If it ever becomes necessary to mechanically clean the
condenser tubes, extra space will be required on one end (preferably on the opposite end from the
water inlet and outlet) for the cleaning tools.
Foundation.
Refer to the space diagrams, Figures 3-2 and 3-4, for recommended minimum
foundation requirements. The figures show anchor bolt details and machine anchor hole details.
Contact your local distributor for seismic anchoring requirements in your area.
