Field Installation
Safety Information and Guidelines
Only qualified service technicians should
attempt to install, service, or maintain the Ice
Flaker.
Make sure all power sources are disconnected
before any service work is done to the Ice
Flaker.
All field wiring must conform to the
requirements of the equipment and all
applicable local codes and national codes.
Always refer to the Condensing Unit
manufacturer's installation manual for further
specification and guidance.

Inspection

Upon receipt, check all items against the bill of
lading to make sure all crates and cartons are
accounted for.
Any shortage or damages should be reported to
the delivering carrier. Damaged material
becomes the delivering carrier's responsibility
and should not be returned to the
manufacturer unless prior approval is given.
Take care not to damage equipment when
uncrating.
Condensing Unit Rigging and
Mounting
Rigging holes are provided on all units. Caution
should be exercised when moving these units.
To prevent damage to the unit housing during
rigging, cables or chains used must be held
apart by spacer bars. The mounting platform or
base should be level and located so as to permit
free access of supply air.
Ground Mounting
Concrete slab raised six inches above ground
level provides a suitable base. Raising the base
above ground level provides some protection
from ground water and wind‐blown matter.
Before tightening mounting bolts, recheck level
of unit. The unit should in all cases be located
with a clear space in all directions that is at a
minimum, equal to the height of the unit above
the mounting surface. A condensing unit
mounted in a corner formed by two walls, may
result in discharge air recirculation with
resulting loss of capacity.
Roof Mounting
Due to the weight of the units, a structural
analysis by a qualified engineer may be required
before mounting. Roof mounted units should
be installed level on steel channels or an I‐beam
frame capable of supporting the weight of the
unit.
Access
Provide adequate space at the compressor end
of the unit for servicing. Provide adequate
space on the connection side to permit service
of components.
