Uncrate and Set Up
Begin with unpacking the ice storage bin. Remove
the carton, and using part of the carton as a
cushion, tip the bin on its back to remove the skid
and attach the legs or casters.
Note: Turn the leg levelers in all the way and adjust
after the ice machine is on top and in its selected
location.
Return the bin to an upright position. Check the bin
top gasket for gaps and tears, fill any in with food
grade sealant prior to placing the ice machine on
the bin.
Install the bin top adapter if one is required for the
application.
If the ice machine has not been unpacked, do so
now. Remove the carton from the skid. Lift the ice
machine off the skid directly onto the bin.
Note: The machine is heavy! Use a mechanical
hoist if necessary.
Secure the ice machine to the bin with the
hardware provided (two metal straps and 4 bolts).
Level the bin and ice machine using the adjustment
part of the legs.
Bin Recycling
Many times an ice machine head will be replaced,
while the existing ice storage bin will be reused.
This is an acceptable practice, if some precautions
are taken:
•
The used bin must be in good condition.
Broken doors, hinges, or warped walls are
reason for considering a new bin.
•
The used bin top edge gasket must be
replaced. Water leaks could occur if the
gasket tape is not replaced.
•
The used bin should be the proper size for
the ice machine head.
