B. DISASSEMBLY OF AUGER Remove the front auger support and bushing. Remove the auger assembly from the machine. Pull the auger out of the machine barrel slowly. As the auger is being pulled out, carefully remove each of the plastic flights with springs. Keep the rear of the auger tipped up once it is clear of the freezing cylinder to prevent the rear seal assembly from dropping.
3.8 ASSEMBLING MACHINE Apply a thin layer of sanitary lubricant to the inside and outside of the auger support bushing. Install To assemble the machine parts, refer to the following steps: the bushing onto the auger support and install the NOTICE auger support into the front of the auger.

5.8 FILTER DRIER The filter drier must be replaced every time the refrigeration system is opened for service. A new filter drier improves operation of the entire refrigeration system by stopping the circulation of moisture and by removing harmful contami- nants (Refer to Figure 5-13).
SECTION 6 ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL CONTROL SYSTEMS NOTE The wiring diagram is available in Section 8.. INTELLITEC CONTROLLER The IntelliTec control is Stoelting’s most advanced control- ler. It combines all of the best features of previous control- lers with advanced sensing and troubleshooting capabili- ties.
A. CONTACTOR TESTS The following tests will show if a contactor is working properly. Open right side panel and visually check the IntelliTec control board. Check for a signal going to contactor. When the spigot is opened or the Push To Freeze button is pressed, the DRV LED on the control board will light up.
