Operation
Ice gate operation
The ice gate positively controls the flow of ice into lower door assembly area for removal with either a scoop or shovel.
The ice gate can also be adjusted and locked at one of several levels to accommodate flow characteristics of different
types of ice.
Bin is shipped with ice gate in full down position. Ice gate can be raised and locked in higher position for better flow or
when more access is needed.
I
f more ice is needed in lower door area:
1. Use full-length handle at top of ice gate to gently lift and jiggle ice gate to encourage ice to flow into access area of
the bin (Fig. 2). (Loose ice will cascade into lower door area.)
2. When adequate ice has flowed, push ice gate back down.
When more access is needed or to encourage flow of less "slippery" ice:
1. Lock gate at higher level by pulling up and holding ice gate at
correct level, and pushing tapered end of catch into nearest hole in
gate (catch will automatically release when you pull up).
2. To release catch, pull up on ice gate.
Using ice paddle tool accessory
I
ce paddle tool is an optional accessory that can be ordered directly from
Scotsman. If your bin has been ordered with ice paddle tool accessory, mount
paddle for easy access on either side of bin in bracket provided.
Using paddle
If there is adequate ice in bin but lower door area is not filled with
ice, it may be that ice has congealed in bin and cannot flow. This can
often be remedied by quickly jiggling Ice gate several times (Fig. 2). If problem continues, paddle tool can be inserted
through rectangular openings in Ice gate and agitated back and forth to break up congealed ice mass (Fig. 3).
Note: Use paddle tool only as described above. To avoid possible injury, keep head and face clear of lower door area and
tool at all times. Do not use paddle tool for other purposes.
