StartUp&Operation
WaterInlet
ThesupplywaterfeedfortheIceFlakermust
beconnectedhere.Ashut‐offvalveshouldbe
fieldinstalledbeforethisconnection.
TheIceFlakerrequiresaminimumwater
pressureof20PSIGandamaximumof60PSIG.
FloatValve
ThewaterlevelintheWaterSump
isregulated
bytheFloatValve.
Thewaterlevelshouldalwaysbebelowthe
openingonthesideoftheWaterSump.

SectionViewofWaterSump

Watershouldneverbeallowedtoflowfromthe
WaterSumpbackthroughtheopeningandinto
theBottomCasting.
Adjustthewaterlevelbyrotatingthefloatend
oftheFloatValve.Rotateclockwisetoraisethe
waterlevelandcounterclockwisetolowerthe
waterlevel.

WaterPump
The
WaterPumpdrivesthewaterina
continuousflowthroughthesystem.
TheWaterPumpinletshouldbesubmergedat
alltimes.Airshouldneverbepulledintothe
intake.
OverflowDrain
Thehigherofthetwodrainconnectionsonthe
WaterSumpistheOverflowDrain.
Ifwateris
exitingtheWaterSumpthroughthe
OverflowDrain,thewaterlevelistoohighand
theFloatValveneedstobeadjusted.
SumpDrain
ThelowerofthetwoistheSumpDrain.Itis
usedtoflushtheWaterSumpofallliquid.
StopValve
Thestopvalveattachedto
theSumpDrain
fittingshouldalwaysbecloseddurin gnormal
operation.
Thestopvalveshouldonlybeopenedduring
