Initial Start-Up & Operation
Start-Up Checklist
NOTICE: The Warranty / Registration Start-Up Form located at the back of the manual must be
completed and returned in the postage paid envelope or faxed to 800-770-8648 to initiate the
warranty.
In order to prepare the machine for start-up, it will be necessary to remove the front and right side
panels for access to the various valves and for observation. To remove any side panels, the top cover
must be removed first. The side panels have a top flange that hangs over the top angle of the machine
frame. The panels are secured to the sides of the machine with industrial magnets. To remove a side
panel, first pull the lower section of the panel away from the machine to disengage the magnets, then
lift up and away to clear the top angle of the machine.
For valve number reference, see FIGURES 16 & 17 for piping schematics.
1. _____ The machine is shipped with the total refrigerant charge isolated in the receiver. Open the
upper and lower gage cock valves on the receiver sight glass to check the refrigerant level. The
level should be within ½” of the pumpdown level indicated on the receiver. If the level is OK,
close the valves and continue with the checklist. If the level is not right, immediately contact the
Tube-Ice Technical Service Department at 502-635-3510.
2. _____ See that water-inlet connections are attached to the proper couplings (water cooled units) and
to water for ice making. The inlet shutoff valves should be open. The water level in the water pan
should be at a height where the make-up water float valve will be closed when the machine is idle.
3. _____ See that compressor crankcase oil level is at proper height of 1/8 to 1/4 of the sight glass
with the compressor off. While running, the level should between 1/2 and 7/8 of the sight glass.
! NOTE !
IMPORTANT -
In most installations, it will be necessary to add oil to the compressor of air-
cooled machines. An oil charging port (1/4” access fitting with schrader) is located on the
compressor. Compressor oil should be checked after 24 to 48 hours of operation.
! NOTE !
4. _____ See that the “Ice-Off-Clean” selector switch is in the “Off” position. See FIGURE-18.

5. _____ Open compressor service valves (34 and 35), the hand-stop valve (90A) in the thawing gas
line, (91) in the condenser return line, and the hand-stop valve (58) in the liquid line. These valves
are tagged to indicate that they were closed for shipping purposes.
