    2. LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties At startup, a 5-second delay occurs while the control board conducts an internal timer check. A beep occurs when the control switch is moved to the "ICE" position. The red LED indicates proper control voltage and remains on unless a control voltage problem occurs.
  • Page 19: Controls And Adjustments

    However, a setting longer than the factory setting may be advised in cases where the flush provided at harvest needs to be prolonged for extra cleaning. Before changing this setting, contact Hoshizaki Technical Support at 1-800-233-1940 for recommendations. Keep in mind that setting the harvest timer to a longer setting decreases 24-hour production.
  • Page 20: C) Pump-Out Timer (S4 Dip Switch 3 & 4)

    c) Pump-Out Timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4) The 1st pump-out occurs after the 11th freeze cycle, then every 10th cycle thereafter. When a pump-out is called for, the X10 relay is energized and the X13 relay is de-energized to allow the drain valve to energize. The pump motor stops for 2 seconds, then the X11 relay energizes, allowing the pump motor and drain valve to energize.
  • Page 21: E) Harvest Pump Timer (S4 Dip Switch 7)

    In this case, see "IV.F.3. Low Ice Production" for possible solutions. The freeze timer is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required. Before changing this setting, contact your local Hoshizaki distributor or Hoshizaki Technical Support for recommendations. Dip Switch Setting...

  • Page 44: Replacement Of Components

    V. Replacement of Components WARNING • This icemaker should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualified service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire. • Move the control switch to the "OFF" position and turn off the power supply before servicing.
  • Page 45: Brazing

    2. Brazing WARNING • R-404A itself is not flammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 176°F (80°C). • R-404A itself is not explosive or poisonous. However, when exposed to high temperatures (open flames), R-404A can be decomposed to form hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl fluoride both of which are hazardous.
  • Page 46 Remember to loosen the connection and purge the air from the hose. For the required refrigerant charge, see the nameplate on the condensing unit or the rating label inside the icemaker. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard 700 (latest edition) be used.
  • Page 47: Important Notes For Component Replacement
