Howe Rapid Freeze Service Manual page 9

1 Introduction
Only service personnel experienced in refrigeration and qualified to work with high
voltage electrical equipment should be allowed to install or service this Rapid Freeze
Ice Flaker.
Upon receipt of your Rapid Freeze Ice Flaker, you should first inspect the carton very carefully to determine if
any damage may have occurred during shipment. If you suspect any damage has occurred, it should be noted
immediately on the freight bill. In addition, a separate written notice must be sent to the agent representing
the freight carrier. The written notice should request an inspection by the agent to verify damage during
shipment. If the damage was noticed after un-crating of the carton, it is necessary to keep the original
shipping container so the carrier's agent can investigate the damage claim thoroughly.
If a repair is necessary for the Rapid Freeze machine, you must first obtain written permission from the
factory before beginning any repairs. Unauthorized work on your Rapid Freeze Ice Flaker could result in
voiding the machine's warranty.
Seawater units are shipped with a holding charge of dry nitrogen to ensure the evaporator is kept clean and
moisture free. They must be pumped down and evacuated after they are connected to the refrigeration system,
before the entire system is charged with its refrigerant charge.
Immediately upon receipt of equipment, before placement or installation of equipment, verify the
electrical, and refrigerant configuration are correct as ordered. If any discrepancies are found, notify
Howe Corporation immediately prior to any installation.
