It is important that the machine be installed in a location where it has enough space around it to be accessible for service, and minimum of 6" be allowed at the back for air circulation on air cooled models. Try to avoid hot, dirty and crowded locations. Be sure that the location for the machine is within the environmental limitations. Storage Bin: Tip the storage bin on its back, using parts of the carton to protect the exterior finish. Install the legs into the threaded holes in the bottom of the bin. Turn the leg levelers all the way in preparation for leveling later. Return the bin to the upright position, remove paper covering the bin gasket. Note: Do not push bin into position, but lift it there. Pushing a bin, especially one with ice in it, can cause damage to the legs and the leg mounts. Install the appropriate bin top on the bin, according to the instructions for the bin top. Ice Maker: The machine is heavy, so the use of a mechanical lift is recommended for lifting the machine high enough to install on top of the bin. After the unit is placed on the bin, line it up so it is even with the back side. Secure the machine to the bin with the hardware provided with the machine. Remove the front panel and remove any shipping blocks. October, 1991 Page 4 FM1200 FOR THE INSTALLER: Location TWO UNITS ON ONE BIN DO NOT STACK ANYTHING IN FRONT OF THE MACHINE(S) ALLOW ROOM FOR AIR CIRCULATION AND SERVICE ACCESS October, 1991 Page 5 FM1200 FOR THE PLUMBER CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES Water Inlet Air Cooled Models: The recommended water supply is clean, cold water. Use 3/8" O.D. copper tubing, connect to the 3/8" male flare at the back of the cabinet. Install a hand valve near the machine to control the water supply. Water Treatment: In most areas, a water filter of some type will be useful. In areas where the water is highly concentrated with minerals the water should be tested by a water treatment specialist, and the recommendations of the specialist regarding filtration and/or treatment should be followed. Water Cooled Models: A separate 3/8" O.D. copper line is recommended, with a separate hand valve to control it. It is connected to a 3/8" FPT condenser inlet at the back of the cabinet. The water pressure to all lines must always be above 20 psig, and below 120 psig. WATER COOLED CONDENSER INLET HAND VALVE Drains Air Cooled Models: There is one 3/4" FPT drain at the back of the cabinet, the drain line is of the gravity type, and 1/4 inch per foot fall is an acceptable pitch for the drain tubing. There should be a vent at the highest point of the drain line, and the ideal drain receptacle would be a trapped and vented floor drain. Use only 3/4" rigid tubing. Water Cooled Models: In addition to the above mentioned drain, a separate condenser drain must be installed. Connect it to the 1/2" condenser drain connection at the back of the cabinet. Storage Bin: A separate gravity type drain needs to be run, similar to the air cooled drain. Insulation of this drain line is recommended.

Check the nameplate (located on the back panel) for the voltage requirements, and for the minimum circuit ampacity. The machine requires a solid chassis to earth ground wire. The ice maker should be connected to its own electrical circuit so it would be individually WATER COOLED fused. Voltage variation must remain within design limitations, even under starting conditions. All external wiring must conform to national, state, and local electrical codes. The use of a licensed electrician is required to perform the electrical installation. POWER SUPPLY AIR COOLED October, 1991 Page 7 FM1200 FOR THE INSTALLER Final Check List 1. Is the ice system installed indoors in a location where the air and water temperatures are controlled, and where they do not exceed the design limitations? 2. Is there an electrical service disconnect within sight of the installed machine? Has the voltage been checked, and compared to nameplate requirements? 3. Have all the plumbing connections been made and checked for leaks? 4. Has the machine and bin been leveled? 5. Is there a minimum of 6" clearance at the back of the machine for proper service access and air circulation? 6. Is the water pressure a minimum of 20 psig? 7. Has the machine been secured to the bin? 8. Is there clearance over the top of the machine for service access? 9. Is there a water shut off valve installed near the machine? 10. Have all of the shipping blocks been removed? October, 1991 Page 8 FM1200 START UP Pre-Start Inspection 1. Remove the front and side service panels. 2. Check that the styrofoam shipping blocks have been removed. 3. Inspect the interior of the machine for loose screws or wires. Check that no refrigerant lines are rubbing each other. Check that the fan blade turns freely (air cooled). 4. Check that the unit is installed correctly according to the final check list (page 8). Start Up 1. Go through the prestart inspection. 2. Open the hand valve, observe that water enters the water reservoir, fills the tube from the reservoir to the evaporator, and then shuts off. Check for leaks. 3. Switch the master switch on. The electrical start up sequence is now on automatic. A. There should be a short (15 second) delay before the gearmotor starts. B. After the gearmotor starts, the compressor will start. 4. On air cooled models, the condenser will begin to discharge warm air, on water cooled models, the water regulating valve will open, and warm water will be discharged into the drain. 5. The unit should soon be making ice, if desired, the low side pressure can be checked: it should be 30 psig + or - 4 psig. The suction line temperature at the compressor is normally very cold, nearly to the point of frost up to the compressor body, but not on it. The air cooled discharge pressure will depend upon air and water temperatures, but should be between 200 psig and 280 psig. The water cooled discharge pressure should be constant at about 220 psig. The above numbers are for new, clean machines, you can expect to see some values higher, and some lower between different units. 6. THERE ARE NO ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE, so replace the panels. 7. Clean and/or sanitize the storage bin interior, wipe off the exterior with a clean, damp cloth. 8. Give the owner/user the service manual, instruct him/her in the operation of the unit, and make sure they know who to call for service. 9. Fill out the manufacturers registration card, and mail it to the Scotsman Factory. 10. Fill out the field quality audit form, and mail it to the Scotsman factory.
