For The Manager Who Depends Upon This Machine For Efficient Operation.
“Preventive Maintenance” simply means that you or a delegated employee makes a daily visual
check of your Tube-Ice
®
machine. Here is what to look for and why:
Daily checklist:
1. Is the machine running or is the bin full
2. Bin doors kept closed
3. Thermostat bulb in bracket
4. Ice quality (clarity and uniformity)
5. Does all ice discharge during harvest
6. Cleanliness
7. Unusual noises
Why?
When you make these simple observations on a daily basis, you insure the smooth
production of ice for your facility. When you are aware of the proper operating conditions and
observe them on a daily basis, changes in these conditions can alert you to changes in the operation
of the machine which may require maintenance--long before a service situation arises.
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!”
Note To Manager or Owner:
The following page is a complete Preventive Maintenance Schedule that should be performed each
90 days. The Preventive Maintenance page may be copied and given to your service person. It
should be signed, dated, and returned to you for permanent record.
