IV. Adjustment of Components 1. Adjustment of Water Regulating Valve (water-cooled model only) The Water Regulating Valve also called “WATER REGULATOR” is factory-adjusted. No adjustment is required under normal use. Adjust the Water Regulator , if necessary, using the following procedures. 1) Attach a pressure gauge to the high-side line of the system.

VI. Removal and Replacement of Components IMPORTANT Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. IMPORTANT 1. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-404A units can absorb moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from entering the system when replacing or servicing parts.
5) Disconnect the vacuum pump, and attach a refrigerant service cylinder to the high-side line. Remember to loosen the connection, and purge the air from the hose. See the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard No. 700-88 be used.
3. Removal and Replacement of Compressor IMPORTANT Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repairs or replacement have been made. 1) Turn off the power supply, and remove the panels. 2) Remove the terminal cover on the compressor, and disconnect the compressor wiring.
14) Evacuate the system, and charge it with refrigerant. For the air-cooled and water-cooled models, see the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge and type. For the remote air- cooled models, see the label on the control box. 15) Connect the terminals to the compressor, and replace the terminal cover in its correct position.
5. Removal and Replacement of Expansion Valve IMPORTANT Sometimes moisture in the refrigerant circuit exceeds the drier capacity and freezes up at the expansion valve. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repairs or replacement have been made.
6. Removal and Replacement of Water Regulating Valve (water-cooled model only) IMPORTANT Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repairs or replacement have been made. 1) Turn off the power supply, remove the panels and close the water supply line shut-off valve.
7. Removal and Replacement of Condensing Pressure Regulator (C.P.R.) (remote air-cooled model only) IMPORTANT Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repairs or replacement have been made. 1) Turn off the power supply.
8. Removal and Replacement of Evaporator Assembly 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the panels. 3) Move the flush switch to the "FLUSH" position. 4) Turn on the power supply and drain out all water from the water line. 5) Turn off the power supply.
Page 64
13) Recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container, if required by an applicable law. IMPORTANT Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repairs or replacement have been made.
Page 65
26) Assemble the removed parts in the reverse order of the above procedure. WARNING Be careful not to scratch the surface of the O-ring, or it may cause water leaks. Handle the mechanical seal with care not to scratch nor to contaminate its contact surface.

9. Removal and Replacement of Fan Motor 1) Turn off the power supply and remove the panels. 2) Remove the wire connectors from the fan motor leads. 3) Remove the fan motor bracket and fan motor. 4) Install the new fan motor. 5) Replace the fan motor bracket and the wire connectors.
11. Removal and Replacement of Flush Water Valve 1) Turn off the power supply, remove the panels and close the water supply line shut-off valve. 2) Remove the clamp and disconnect the hose from the flush water valve. Note: Water may still remain inside the evaporator. Be sure to drain the water into the drain pan.
VII. Cleaning and Maintenance IMPORTANT Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after any maintenance or cleaning is done to the equipment. 1. Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage WARNING When shutting off the icemaker for an extended time, drain out all water from the water line and remove the ice from the storage bin.
Page 70
[Water-Cooled Models] 1) Turn off the power supply and wait for 3 minutes. 2) Turn on the power supply and wait for 20 seconds. 3) Close the water supply line shut-off valve. 4) Open the drain valve and quickly blow the water supply line from the drain valve to drain water in the condenser.
[a] Cleaning Solution Dilute 4.8 fl. oz. (142 ml) of recommended cleaner Hoshizaki “Scale Away” or “LIME-A-WAY” (Economics Laboratory, Inc.) with 0.8 gallons (3 l) of warm water. This is a minimum amount. Make more solution if necessary.
[b] Cleaning Procedure The cleaning process will remove lime deposits from the water system. 1) Remove the front panel and top panel, then turn off the power supply. 2) Close the water supply line shut-off valve. 3) Remove all ice from the storage bin. 4) Move the flush switch to the “FLUSH”...
[c] Sanitizing Solution Dilute 2.5 fl. oz. (74 ml or 5 tbs) of IMS-II Sanitizer or a 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution (chlorine bleach) with 5 gallons (19 l) of warm water. IMPORTANT For safety and maximum effectiveness, use the solution immediately after dilution.
14) Replace all parts in their correct positions. IMPORTANT When installing the baffles, make sure that the bent surface (the one without the studs) faces the actuator so that the bent surface can guide the ice to the center of the actuator. 15) Move the flush switch to the “ICE”...
Page 75
16) When the gear motor starts, remove the front panel and turn off the power supply. 17) Drain out all water from the water line. See 2) and 3). 18) Move the flush switch to the “ICE” position and run the icemaker. 19) Turn off the power supply after 30 minutes.
Consult with your local distributor about inspection and maintenance service. To obtain the name and phone number of your local distributor, call Hoshizaki Technical Support at 1-800-233-1940. 1) Stainless Steel Exterior To prevent corrosion, wipe the exterior occasionally with a clean and soft cloth. Use a damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt build up.
Page 77
3) Air Filter (air-cooled model only) A plastic mesh air filter removes dirt or dust from the air, and keeps the condenser from getting clogged. As the filter gets clogged, the icemaker’s performance will be reduced. Check the filter at least twice a month. When clogged, use warm water and a neutral cleaner to wash the filter.
