Before you start the system:
•
Confirm freshwater supply is on.
•
Confirm freshwater filter is installed.
•
Confirm that electrical connections are correct and tight.
•
Confirm that the circuit breaker is of the correct size.
•
Confirm the ice-level sensor is mounted securely, the cable is routed safely, and the sensor is functioning properly.
•
Confirm all units are mounted securely.
•
Confirm seawater connections have correct flow direction and all connections are tight.
•
Confirm there are no loops or dips in the seawater system.
•
Confirm all metallic parts are bonded correctly.
•
Confirm frequently accessed parts are easily accessible (i.e., control panel, filters, CPV, refrigerant ports, etc.).
•
Confirm ice-delivery hose is securely fastened and has insulation and drain hole, if needed.

1.
Turn on the designated circuit breaker for the unit and also the one for the pump if it is on a separate breaker at the
boat's electrical panel.
2.
Open the seacock on the pump intake.
3.
Press the On/Off switch on the ice-maker to power-on the unit. It displays "dly" to indicate it is in timer-delay mode for up
to 255 seconds under normal default parameters before it displays "ICE" to indicate that it is in the ice-producing mode.
4.
Confirm water is flowing through the overboard discharge.
5.
Look for ice output within 5 to 10 minutes of system start-up, plus approximately one minute for each foot of hose
between storage box and auger unit.
NOTE: The seawater pump should start automatically whenever the unit is running. Regularly check for seawater flow by
observing the overboard discharge. If you do not observe any flow when the system is running, check for obstructions in the
seawater cooling system.
SYSTEM SHUTDOWN
T
S
EMPORARY
HUTDOWN
Some system conditions result in a temporary shutdown followed by an automatic restart once the situation is resolved. This is
normal behavior, for example when the ice-level sensor detects that the ice-storage box is full.
S
S
USTAINED
HUTDOWN
Some system failures result in a sustained shutdown and are indicated by the appropriate fault code flashing in the digital
display. A reset indicates an actual problem, not just a passing event, and the cause should be investigated.
Sustained shutdown in need of reset is caused by any of these events:
•
High-pressure switch triggered 3 times within 30 minutes.
•
Low-pressure switch triggered 3 times within 30 minutes.
•
Auger motor high amps and low amps each time the fault occurs.
•
Compressor high amps and low amps each time the fault occurs.
NOTE: If system needs to be reset more than twice within one day, have the system serviced.

Use any one of these methods to restart operation:
•
Turn the unit off then on at either the main digital control box or the optional remote digital display.
•
Press the Reset switch on the unit's control panel.
•
Turn the unit's circuit breaker off then on.
