! WARNING !
Only service personnel experienced in refrigeration and qualified
to work with high voltage electrical equipment should be allowed
to install or work on this Tube-Ice
®
machine.
! WARNING !
Inspection.
When you receive your machine, inspect it for any damage. If damage is suspected,
note it on the shipper’s papers (i.e., the trucker’s Bill of Lading). Immediately make a separate
written request for inspection by the freight line’s agent. Any repair work or alteration to the
machine without the permission of the Henry Vogt Machine Co. can void the machine’s warranty.
The machine was shipped with a full charge of refrigerant stored in the receiver. Visually check all
lines for mechanical damage. If a leak is suspected, check all joints with a Halogen Leak Detector.
All leaks should be reported to the Henry Vogt Machine Co. to obtain authorization for repair.
! CAUTION !
The approximate weight of the machine is 2975 pounds. Always use
equipment with adequate load carrying capacity.
! CAUTION !
The machine frame has lifting lugs at each corner in the top for eyebolts and hooks to be used for
lifting purposes if desired. Lifting lugs should be used whenever possible.
! CAUTION !
The Tube-Ice
®
machine is top heavy.
Secure to avoid tipping.
! CAUTION !
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 frame base structure. The
machine needs to be bound in place to prevent tipping.
Safety Valves. Two safety pressure relief valves are an integral part of the packaged Tube-Ice
®
machine. One is located in the low-side of the system on the freezer, and one is in the high side of
the system on the receiver. Vent each of the pressure relief valves to the atmosphere in such a
manner as to comply with local and national codes.
