Chapter 2 Receipt of Your Vogt Ice Machine

As soon as you receive your machine, inspect it for any damage. If damage is suspected, note it on the shipper's papers

(i.e., the trucker's Bill of Lading). Immediately make a separate written request for inspection by the freight line's agent.

Any repair work or alteration to the machine without the permission of Vogt Ice, LLC can void the machine's warranty.

The machine was shipped with a full tank of ISO 32 hydraulic fluid. Visually check all lines for mechanical damage. If a

leak is suspected, contact the Vogt Ice, LLC service department to obtain authorization for repair.

The machine also contains a series of limit switches, shown in the P&ID in Section 4. Visually check that the switches are

intact and were not damaged during shipping. If damage is suspected, contact the Vogt Ice, LLC service department to

obtain authorization for repair.

This machine has been provided with pressure safety valves that are installed in the hydraulic system to prevent over-

pressurization. In the event that these valves open, the excess fluid pressure will be vented into the hydraulic reservoir,

which is constantly at atmospheric pressure. These safety valves have been preset by the factory. Do not adjust them.

The machine must be located inside of a suitable building, fully protected from outside elements. It was designed to be

operated between 38°F and 100°F. Heat from other sources (sunlight, furnaces, condensers, etc.) and unusual air

currents may affect the operation or life cycle of the machine and should be avoided. It is not capable of operating in

cold rooms, freezers, or other locations where the ambient temperature can drop below 38°F. Ambient temperatures in

excess of 100°F can be detrimental to the hydraulic system, as it may be unable to cool the oil sufficiently.

Electrical components are rated NEMA 1, and should not be located in a hazardous area or sprayed with water. The

machine should be installed on a drainable drip pan or in an area where water will not stand, but readily drain away

from the machine. See Space Diagrams, Figure 3 thru Figure 5, for clearances and utility connections. Ambient

temperatures in excess of 100°F can be detrimental to the electrical devices and control equipment.

Only service personnel experienced in hydraulic system operation

and qualified to work with high voltage electrical equipment

should be allowed to install or to work on this machine

The approximate weight of the machine is 2400 lbs.

Use only the appropriate equipment with adequate

loading capacity to move and install the machine.
