• The hopper contains a 15-blade plastic dispense wheel and a stainless steel sweep arm.
• The top front of the hopper has a removable door to facilitate maintenance and cleaning of the hopper without removal of the ice machine.
• The dispense wheel and sweep arm rotate when the dispense drive motor is actuated.
• The drive motor actuation is controlled by the agitation timer or the vend switch. When the ice dispense chute is pushed back it moves the actuation lever up.
• The actuation lever releases the chute door and pushes the vend switch arm up. When the vend switch arm has moved a preset distance the vend switch contacts close, providing power to the dispense drive motor.
• Ice is delivered to the top end of the ice chute by the dispense wheel and it slides down the chute to the container below.
• The container rests on a grill, the grill openings are over the ice catch pan, and any spilled ice goes there. The grill has an e at the front to help contain the ice i t spills during vending.
• After the ice dispense chute is released, the ice chute door closes to stop ice w.
• Ice in the chute will eventually melt. Melted ice water is routed to the drain through a hose attached to the bottom of the chute.
• Spilled ice is contained in an insulated ice catch pan.
• Melted ice water from the ice catch pan is routed to the drain.
• User debris is kept away from the drain in the catch pan by a slotted shield.
• The side and front exterior panels are stainless steel. The vending area and top panel are made of plastic.

Unpacking

• After removing the carton, check for the loose-shipped parts packed in the storage bin.
• The parts will include a carton with four legs.
