Water Seal & Bottom Bearing Replacement:
1.Remove old rotating half from the auger. Clean the mounting area.
2.Place a bead of food grade sealant (such as Scotsman part number
3.Wash the new seal in water. While wet, slip it onto the bottom of the auger, rubber side toward the auger. Push up until seated against the sealant. Do not allow any sealant to come into contact with the face of the seal.
4.Wash the stationary half the water seal with
water. Slip it up into the bottom of the evaporator until the bottom of the seal is inside the evaporator about 1/4".
5.Push the bottom bearing against the water seal until the bottom bearing is inside the evaporator about 1/16".
6.Replace the evaporator on the adapter, and
7.Attach the auger to the top bearing and breaker.
8.Return the auger to the evaporator and slide it down until the splines touch the coupling.
9.Rotate the auger until the coupling splines align with the auger.
10.Push the auger down, and rotate the breaker until the screw holes line up with the pilot holes in the evaporator.
11.When the auger is completely seated, reinstall the breaker screws.
12.Replace permagum and foam top.
13.Switch on the water supply.
14.Check bin cover for electrical grounds and switch on the electrical power.
15.Observe operation. The unit should make minimal noise while producing ice. Catch first 2 minutes of ice and discard it.
16.Replace the bin cover and all panels.
Evaporator
Follow all steps to remove the auger & bearings.
1.Recover the refrigerant charge. Note: The refrigeration system must not remain open for more than 15 minutes.
2.Unsweat suction and cap tube connections.
3.Remove evaporator from the machine.
4.Remove old drier.
5.Install new evaporator.
6.Install new HFC type drier.
Note: The refrigeration system uses an HFC type refrigerant and MUST use an HFC type drier.
7.Braze the drier connections, cap tube and suction line together.
