5.Disconnect inlet and outlet tubes from the reservoir.

6.Remove screws holding reservoir to its mounting bracket.

7.Remove reservoir from the machine.

8.Reverse to reassemble.

Bearings, Water Seal and Auger

1. Disconnect electrical power.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical power before beginning.

2.Shut off the water supply.

3.Remove the top panel.

4.Remove the front and side panels.

5.Drain the reservoir and evaporator.

6.Remove rubber cap from the top of the evaporator.

7.Remove the two bolts from the spout on the side of the evaporator.

8.Remove the screw holding the bearing retainer to the evaporator.

9.Pull up on the ring to lift the auger out of the evaporator.

If the auger will not lift out:

1.Remove snap ring holding bearing cover to breaker.

4.Thread in a threaded rod and weight or slide-hammer puller into the auger.

5.Use the threaded rod & weight or slide hammer puller to remove the auger.

Or

1.Remove three cap screws holding evaporator to the adapter stand.

2.Lift evaporator up slightly and tip the bottom out to expose the splined end of the auger.

3.Use a plastic mallet or dead-blow hammer to tap the bottom of the auger and force the auger up. Do NOT damage the splines of the auger or the auger will have to be replaced.

If the auger is "frozen" to the bottom bearing, do not force the bottom bearing thru the evaporator.

Replacement

1.Replace the bearings and water seal. Replace the auger if the splines are damaged. Replace the evaporator if more than 1/3 of the vertical rifle grooves are gone. Sand or hone and sand the inside of the evaporator if mineral build up is heavy.

Top Bearing Replacement:

If the inner race is secure, use an arbor press to push the top bearing out of the breaker. If the inner race has separated from the bearing, replace the breaker.

Insert a new bearing in the breaker.

Replace the "O" ring in the breaker.

Push the bearing in, push only on the outer race.

2.Remove bearing cover.

3.Unscrew bolt holding bearing to auger.
