Remote Charging Procedures
1. Close the vacuum pump valve and the low side
manifold gauge valve.
2. Open the refrigerant cylinder and add the proper
refrigerant charge (shown on nameplate) into the
system high side (receiver outlet valve and
discharge lines quick-connect fitting).
3. If the high side does not take the entire charge,
close the high side on the manifold gauge set and
start the ice machine. Add the remaining charge
through the low side (in vapor form) until the
machine is fully charged.
If an access valve core removal and
NOTE:

valves, reinstall the cores before disconnecting the
access tool and hose.
4. Open the high and low side valves on the

5. Allow the pressures to equalize while the ice
machine is in the freeze cycle.
6. Remove the low side hose from the access valve
