Plumbing connections

Note: It is recommended that a full width grated floor drain be installed in front of bin.

Units are shipped for a right side exiting drain. To drain to left, switch positions of screws in trough bracketsfrom lower hole to upper hole on left bracket and upper hole to lower hole on right bracket.
Remove plug from left side of drain trough and insert in right side.
Connect drain line to 1 1/4″ PVC slip fit drain fitting.

Insert screwdriver between door and hinge bracket on one side of door and gently push against bracket to provide room for door stud to clear bracket.
Remove access door.
Pull up on ice gate to remove.
Remove three or four (3 or 4) screws along top of door assembly.
Pull forward on assembly and remove.

Reinstalling door assembly

Reinstall three or four (3 or 4) screws in hood at top of door assembly.
Reinstall ice gate in side panel tracks and push down to seat.
With door closed insert one door stud through hinge bracket.

Reinstall washers and screws in lift door and tighten.
Check door to ensure proper operation.

Ice guide adjustment

Some ice types are very “slippery” and may flow over sides of cart when exiting hopper. Ice guides hang down below hopper and help contain flowing ice inside cart.

Guides are installed in highest position at factory, providing 3/4″ clearance to top of cart when legs are in full down position. If legs are adjusted up during leveling of Ice Cart System, ice guides should be lowered to maintain 3/4″ (19mm) clearance. Access to sides of Ice Cart System is required to perform operation.

To reposition ice guides after legs have been adjusted:

Position cart (with totes, if so equipped) in bay below shutter door opening.
Determine amount guides must be lowered to maintain 3/4″ (19mm) clearance.
Remove thumbscrews holding guides.
Select hole to reposition guide at proper level and resecure with thumbscrew.
Repeat process for each bay in system.

Operation

Cart drain operation

Position cart all the way in bay.
Lock caster to prevent cart movement.
To open drain, pull knob out.
To close, push knob in.

Cart lids

Hang cart lids on brackets on bin side when carts positioned in bay.
Remove from bracket and place lid on cart when carting ice.
To avoid placing lid on floor, position lid horizontally on cart lip, resting lid against cart handle when unloading ice from cart.
Reinstall lid in bracket on side of bin before placing cart in bay

Ice Cart System operation

Breaking ice bridges

It may be necessary to use the paddle to break up ice bridges that occur along the sides and in the middle of the bin.
This often happens if ice has been held in storage for a period of time without use. Use supplied paddle accessory to break up bridges.

**| Do NOT dig up at ice. Instead, break away “legs” that are holding bridges. Ice above will then fall.
A falling ice bridge can cause paddle to lift. Keep head and face away from paddle handle to avoid injury**
---|---

Completely knock down all ice from sides and back of bin.
Knock down any bridge that has occurred in middle.
Agitate paddle back and forth to break up congealed ice mass.

Ice gate operation

Ice gate can be adjusted and locked at one of several levels to accommodate flow characteristics of different types of ice.

Bin is shipped with ice gate in full down position. Ice gate can be raised and locked in higher position for better flow or when more access is needed.

Cleaning

**| Clean and sanitize bin and cart(s) interiors prior to use and on regular schedule as needed. Use non-chlorine based cleaner and sanitizer suitable for use in a food zone. Do NOT use chlorine-based cleaners, which can cause staining and pitting of stainless steel components. Do not run Totes through a dishwasher. Turn off ice machine(s) and remove ice from bin before beginning.**
