5) Remove the Schrader valve cores from the remote condenser unit service valve access ports. 6) Braze the line set copper tubes to the remote condenser unit liquid and discharge line service valves. 7) Allow the service valves to cool, then replace the Schrader valve cores. Attach the gauge manifold hoses.
6. Electrical Connection WARNING • Electrical connection must meet national, state, and local electrical code requirements. Failure to meet these code requirements could result in death, electric shock, serious injury, fire, or damage. • To reduce the risk of electric shock, make all remote condenser unit connections before connecting the icemaker power supply.
3) Install a ground wire from the icemaker fan motor junction box to the remote condenser unit junction box. Use wire of an appropriate gage and outdoor rating. 4) Install line and neutral wires from the fan motor leads in the icemaker fan motor junction box to the leads in the remote condenser unit junction box.
H. Final Checklist 1. Pre-Startup 1) Is the icemaker level? 2) Is the icemaker in a site where the ambient temperature is within 45°F to 100°F (7°C to 38°C) and the water temperature within 45°F to 90°F (7°C to 32°C) all year around? 3) Is there at least 6"...
