All refrigerant piping, water supply, and drain connections properly conform to the requirements in this
manual and are properly connected to inlets and outlets.

installed.

The applicable portion of the Warranty Registration/Start-Up Form has been completed and sent back
to Vogt Ice.

Check the oil level of the cutter gear reducer.

The water distributors at the top of the freezer should be in position and fit snugly against the tubesheet
face.
