b) Harvest Timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2)
The harvest timer starts counting when the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C) at the
evaporator outlet and the control board reads 3.9 kΩ from the thermistor. The harvest
timer is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required. However, a setting longer
than the factory setting may be advised in cases where the flush provided at harvest
needs to be prolonged for extra cleaning. Before changing this setting, contact your
Hoshizaki Service Office for recommendations. Keep in mind that setting the harvest
timer to a longer setting decreases 24-hour production.
Note that the pump-out timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4) acts in place of the harvest timer
during cycles with a pump out. For details, see "II.C.3.c) Pump-Out Timer (S4 dip switch
3 & 4)." On KM-515MAH-E and KM-650MAH-E models, the harvest timer is only relevant
during the initial harvest cycle since a pump out occurs every cycle thereafter.

c) Pump-Out Timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4)
NOTICE
On KM-515MAH-E and KM-650MAH-E models, never adjust the pump-out timer's
harvest timer (T2) for a time less than 150 seconds. Otherwise, the icemaker will
not perform properly.
When a pump-out is called for, the pump motor de-energizes after the preceding freeze
cycle. The pump motor energizes 2 seconds later in the reverse direction, taking water
from the bottom of the water tank and forcing pressure against the check valve seat
allowing water to go through the check valve and down the drain. At the same time, water
flows through the small tube to power flush the float switch. The pump motor drains the
water tank for the time determined by the pump-out timer. The pump-out timer also acts
in place of the harvest timer during cycles with a pump-out. The pump-out timer is factory
set, and generally no adjustment is required. However, where water quality is bad and
the icemaker needs a longer pump-out time, the pump-out timer can be adjusted. The
pump-out timer control can be set to pump-out for 10 or 20 seconds.
