SECTION 2 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 2.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS If danger, warning or caution labels are needed, indicate Do not attempt to operate the freezer until the safety the part number, type of label, location of label, and precautions and operating instructions in this manual are quantity required along with your address and mail to: read completely and are thoroughly understood.
2.2 SHIPMENT AND TRANSIT The freezer has been assembled, operated and inspected at the factory. Upon arrival at the final destination, the complete freezer must be checked for any damage which may have occurred during transit. With the method of packaging used, the freezer should arrive in excellent condition.

3.7 CLEANING THE FREEZER To disassemble the freezer, refer to the following steps: NOTE A. Remove hopper cover and drain tray (Fig. 19). The frequency of cleaning the freezer and freezer B. Remove the mix inlet regulator from the hopper by parts must comply with local health regulations.
F. Remove the auger assembly from the freezer (Fig. 22). 3.9 CLEANING THE FREEZER PARTS Pull the auger out of the freezer barrel slowly. As the Place all loose parts in a pan or container and take to the auger is being pulled out, carefully remove each of the wash sink for cleaning.
A. Assemble all "O" Rings onto parts dry, without lubri- cation. Then apply a thin film of sanitary lubrication to exposed surfaces of the "O" Rings. Apply a thin film of sanitary lubricant to metal part of rear seal. Also apply a thin film of sanitary lubricant inside and outside of the front auger support bushing.

Then a FDA-approved “Test strips” are used to determine concentrations of sanitizing solution is run through the machine to active chlorine in sanitizing solutions.
D. MONTHLY CAUTION THE FREEZER HAS AN AIR COOLED CON- DENSER AND MUST HAVE PROPER AIR CIRCU- LATION. DO NOT PLACE RIGHT SIDE OF FREEZER ANY CLOSER THAN 3 INCHES FROM THE WALL. FAILURE TO CLEAN THE CON- DENSER FILTER ON A REGULAR BASIS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS FREEZER DAMAGE AND COULD VOID FREEZER WARRANTY.
SECTION 4 REFRIGERATION SYSTEM WARNING REFRIGERATION SYSTEM BOTH SUCTION SIDE SOLENOIDS MUST BE ACTIVATED FOR PROPER PURGING OF The refrigeration system (Fig.28) is a dual-purpose SYSTEM. USE POWER CORD PART NUMBER system. 430119 OR EQUIVALENT FOR DIRECT CONNECTION. Figure 28. Refrigeration System...
The system is designed to efficiently operate both the hopper and evaporator simultaneously at different temperatures. The proper charge is indicated on the nameplate and on the compressor. The compressor has an internal high-pressure bypass. This bypass eliminates the need for a high-pressure cutout switch.
5. Connect the ohmmeter to terminals C and S. ventilation on the right and left sides of the unit for free flow Resistance through the start winding should be 7.77 of air (Figure 33). Make sure the freezer is not pulling over to 8.93 ohms with the ohmmeter set at ohms x 1.

T.X.V. INSTALLATION To replace the T.X.V., perform the following proce- dures: CAUTION WHEN PLACING THE T.X.V., A HEATSINK (WET CLOTH) MUST BE USED TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE VALVE. 1. Position the T.X.V. with heatsink so the liquid line and suction line correspond with the proper valve ports.
4.10 E.P.R. VALVE ADJUSTMENT To adjust the E.P.R. valve, refer to the following procedures: 1. Remove the Phillips head screws from the bottom of the front panel and remove the panel by sliding down and out. 2. Remove the cap from the E.P.R. Schrader access fitting (Figure 40).
3. Remove the foam insulation from the surrounding lines. 4. Apply a heatsink (wet cloth) to the E.P.R. valve. 5. Unsweat the two refrigeration lines. 6. Remove the E.P.R. valve with the heatsink. Figure 41. E.P.R. Valve Adjustment 4.12 E.P.R. VALVE INSTALLATION 7.
4. Remove the capillary tube drier assembly. 4.15 CAPILLARY TUBE INSTALLATION 1. Position the capillary tube drier assembly so the drier inlet tube is in position to be brazed. Braze using the appropriate material. 2. Position the capillary tube and braze the tube to the hopper inlet using the appropriate material.
5. Once the capillary tube drier assembly and filter drier are installed, the refrigeration system must be leaked checked, purged and evacuated to 500 microns of mercury or less. 4.16 SOLENOID VALVE To check for leaking valve seats, follow the procedure outlined below.
3. Remove the retainer from the top of the solenoid and 5. Apply a heatsink (wet cloth) to the valve body and pull the magnetic coil off. unsweat the two joints. Remove the valve body. NOTE 4.20 SOLENOID VALVE INSTALLATION The retainer may be a screw, nut, or clip.
