Chapter 3 Receipt of Machine
Only service personnel experienced in refrigeration and qualified to work with high-voltage
electrical equipment should install or work on this machine. Eye protection must be worn by all personnel
working on or around the machine. You must be familiar with and adhere to all local ordinances and laws
regarding the handling, storing, and use of refrigerants. Refer to the safety data sheet.
State of New Machine
The HFO10 is a packaged ice-making machine, either water-cooled or air-cooled, complete with compressor, oil
separator (integral to compressor), receiver, and condenser (if water-cooled). The machine was shipped in a
fully pumped down state with all refrigerant stored and isolated in the receiver. All valves on the machine are
tagged as to their state (open or closed) and their purpose. The machine was cleaned with ice machine cleaner
and flushed so that it is ready for ice production.
Inspection
Upon receipt of the Tube-Ice® machine, inspect it for any obvious damage. If damage is found or suspected,
note it on the trucker’s Bill of Lading. Immediately submit a separate written request for inspection by the
freight line’s agent. Any repair work or alteration to the machine without the permission of Vogt Ice, LLC, can
void the machine’s warranty. Also, notify your Vogt distributor or the factory.
Delivery Inspection Checklist
•
Inspect outer casings (if provided)
•
Inspect piping and valves
•
Inspect refrigerant sight glass for damage
The machine was shipped with a full refrigerant charge stored and isolated in the receiver. Visually check all
lines for mechanical damage. If a leak is suspected, check all joints with a refrigerant leak detector supporting
HFO blend refrigerants. All leaks should be reported to Vogt Ice, LLC, to obtain authorization and instructions for
repair.
The machine is factory tested before shipment and supplied with a Certificate of Test report confirming the
conditions under which it operated at the factory and that the machine operated as designed. Minor adjustment
may be required at the installation site to achieve optimal performance.
Safety Tags and Labels
Be sure to read and adhere to all special tags and labels attached to valves or applied to various areas of the
machine. They provide important information necessary for safe and efficient operation of your equipment. The
unit may have valves in the open or closed position and may be tagged with information about the required
position for start‐up.
Pressure Relief Valves
Pressure relief valves are included on this packaged Tube-Ice® machine. One is located on the freezer (low-side),
one is located on the top of the condenser (high-side), and a third is located on the top of the receiver
(high-side). Vent each of the pressure relief valves to the atmosphere in compliance with local and
national codes.
Failure to do so creates a safety hazard that could cause injury or loss of life.
