pressure drops during evacuation, preventing
complete evacuation of the condenser.
NOTE: Manitowoc recommends using an access
valve core removal and installation tool on the
discharge line quick-connect fitting. This permits
access valve core removal. This allows for faster
evacuation and charging, without removing the
manifold gauge hose.
REMOTE RECOVERY/EVACUATION
1. Place the toggle switch in the OFF position.
2. Install manifold gauges, charging cylinder/scale,
and recovery unit or two-stage vacuum pump.
3. Open (backseat) the high and low side ice machine
service valves.
4. Open the receiver service valve halfway.
5. Open high and low side on the manifold gauge set.
6. Perform recovery or evacuation:
A. Recovery: Operate the recovery unit as directed
by the manufacturer’s instructions.
B. Evacuation prior to recharging: Pull the system
down to 250 microns. Then, allow the pump to
run for an additional hour. Turn off the pump and
perform a standing vacuum leak check.
NOTE: Check for leaks using a halide or electronic
leak detector after charging the ice machine.
7. Follow the Charging Procedures.
