CAUTION! • This appliance should be connected by a qualified person in accordance with application codes. • If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. •...
After uncrating and removing all packing material, inspect the equipment for concealed shipping damage. If damage is found, notify the shipper immediately and contact Follett Corporation so that we can help in the filing of a claim, if necessary. Check your paperwork to determine which model you have. Follett model numbers are designed to provide information about the type and capacity of Follett equipment.
§ Separate drains for ice machine and condenser. § Water shut-off recommended within 10 feet (3m). § Water supply must have particle filtration. Follett recommends the filter system that has integral scale inhibitors. (Follett item# 00130286). § Follett does not recommend the use of water softeners or bowl scale inhibitors.

Dimensions and clearances § Entire front of ice machine must be clear of obstructions/connections to allow removal. § 1" (26mm) clearance above ice machine for service. § 1" (26mm) minimum clearance on sides. § The intake and exhaust air grilles must provide at least 250 sq in (1615 sq cm) of open area. §...
Cleaning of the condenser can usually be performed by facility personnel. Cleaning of the icemaker system, in most cases, should be performed by your facility’s maintenance staff or a Follett authorized service agent. Regardless of who performs the cleaning, it is the operator’s responsibility to see that this cleaning is performed according to the schedule below.

The Horizon ice machine overview The Follett Horizon ice machine uses a horizontal, cylindrical evaporator to freeze water on its inner surface. The refrigeration cycle is continuous; there is no batch cycle. The evaporator is flooded with water and the level is controlled by sensors in a reservoir.
Water system The water level in the evaporator is controlled by a feed solenoid and level detecting sensors. Referencing the diagram below, water sensing probes extend down into the reservoir at the end of the evaporator assembly. The system works via electrical conductivity as follows: The probe labeled B is the common.
“Bin full” detection system The Follett Horizon ice machine incorporates a unique “bin full” detection system that consists of the shuttle and actuator. The shuttle incorporates a flag and switch. Referencing the figure below, the normal running position of the flag is down, and the switch is closed. When the bin fills to the top and ice can no longer move through the tube, the machine will force the shuttle flag up, opening the switch and shutting the machine off.
Electrical system ATTENTION! To prevent circuit breaker/Hi-amp overload, wait 5 minutes before restarting this unit. This allows the compressor to equalize and the evaporator to thaw. Normal control board operation The PC board indicator lights provide all the information necessary to determine the machine's status. Green indicator lights generally represent “go”...

Error faults: The Horizon PC board monitors various operating parameters including high pressure, auger gearmotor amperage limits, clogged drain, and low water alarm conditions. There are three types of errors namely “soft” (time delay) "hard" (reset), and “run” . § Soft errors will automatically reset after the 1 hour time delay or can be reset by cycling power. §...

R404A Refrigerant replacement requirements 1. Non-contaminated refrigerant removed from any Follett refrigeration system can be recycled and returned to the same system after completing repairs. Recycled refrigerant must be stored in a clean, approved storage container. If additional refrigerant is required, virgin or reclaimed refrigerant that meets ARI standard 700-88 must be used.

Evacuation Evacuate the system to a level of 500 microns. When the 500 micron level is reached, close all valves. Allow the system to sit for approximately 20 minutes. During this period the system pressure should not rise. If the system pressure rises and stabilizes there is moisture in the system and further evacuation is needed.
