G.Lock the two machines together. The front of the machines should be locked by using the locking plate. The locking plate is supplied with the kit and is 2 3/8” x 3” in size with three holes 7/32” in diameter. Three existing screws to be removed from machine cornerpost and locking plate applied. The rear of the machines should be locked by using the two 1/4-20 x 5/8” long bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (supplied with kit). The bolts should be mounted into the 5/16” diameter holes in the bottom channel of the top machine and the top rail of the bottom machine.

H.If your ice machines have curtain limiter brackets, they should be removed from both the top and bottom machines.

4.INSTALLATION OF ICE CHUTES (BACK):

NOTE: Illustration 3 should be used as a reference when following instructions A through E.

A.Install upper ice chute in back of machine (upper ice chutes are identical) with lip of ice chute over the edge of the sump trough of the top machine. Use top back brackets and curtain stop to mount.

NOTE: Check to make sure the sump trough is centered below the evaporators. If not, adjust by loosening the wing nuts, which hold the sum trough to the machine base. Retighten after adjusting.

B.Install the lower back ice chute (back chute has insulation) to upper ice chute with studs on upper chute going through slotted holes of lower chute.

C.Fasten two top rear-mounting brackets with #10-24 x 5/8 self-tapping screws. Do not tighten down at this point. NOTE: The upper chute must be flexed in order to position the flange of the top chute into the inside of the lower

chute.

D.Position stabilizer bracket from kit over weldstuds of upper ice chute, as shown in Illustration 3.

E.Secure the bottom of chute with the bottom back mounting brackets to base channel of lower machine with screws provided in kit.

NOTE: After chutes, bracket, and support angles are in place, make final tightening up on screws and wing nuts.

F.Check for free movement of water curtain.

5.INSTALLATION OF ICE CHUTES (FRONT):

NOTE: Illustration 3 should be used as a reference when following instructions A through E.

A.Install upper ice chute with lip on ice chute over the edge of the sump trough of the top machine.

B.Attach top front mounting bracket to base channel of top machine using screws provided in kit. Do not tighten down at this point. Be sure curtain stop is in place.

C.Bring lower front chute up through bin opening and attach to upper chute with studs on upper chute going through slots on lower. Do not tighten down at this point.

NOTE: The upper chute must be flexed in order to position the flange of the top chute inside the lower chute.

D.Secure the bottom of chute with the bottom front mounting bracket to base channel of lower machine with screws provided in kit.

E.Locate the support angle and secure with the nut and bolt from kit.

NOTE: After chutes, brackets, and support angles are in place, make final tightening up on screws and wing nuts.

F.Check for free movement of water curtain, both front and rear.

G.Proceed to service manual for electrical and water hook-up and start-up procedure.

H.Reattach front, rear, and side panels on both upper and lower ice machines.
