96 Part Number STH063 9/17
NOTE: A head pressure control valve that will not
bypass, will function properly with condenser air
temperatures of approximately 70°F (21°C) or above.
When the temperature drops below 70°F (21°C), the head
pressure control valve fails to bypass and the ice machine
malfunctions. Lower ambient conditions can be simulated
by rinsing the condenser with cool water during the freeze
cycle.
