Lifting Procedures
Warning: The machine weighs approximately 5,200 lb (2,359 kg). Use only the appropriate equipment
with adequate loading capacity to move and install the machine.
The Tube-Ice® machine is top-heavy. The machine needs to be bound in place to prevent tipping.
Lift only from the top to avoid tipping. The machine frame has lifting lugs at each top corner for screw pin
anchor shackle/eyebolt and hook to be used for lifting purposes. The lifting lugs should be used wherever
possible.
Figure 9: HFO10 Lifting Diagram
If a forklift is used, make sure its capacity is sufficient. The forks must be wide enough apart to prevent tipping
sideways and must extend beyond the extremities of the ice machine frame. Do not lift the machine using the
drain pan as a support.
