CAUTION
Be sure to properly support the
machine when removing bolts
and installing legs or casters.
When the unit is received and while
the carrier is still present, inspect the
shipping carton for any damage that
may have occurred in transit. If the
SHOCKWATCH®label indicates red and/
or the carton is broken, torn, or punctured
note the damage on the carrier’s freight
bill and notify the carrier’s local agent
immediately. also note on the freight bill
1. Remove the carton from the pallet,
and move the machine as close as
possible to the permanent location.
2. Remove the shipping bolts on the
bottom of the freezer (gure 2-1) and
install either the legs or casters (gure
2-2).
2.1 Uncrating and Inspection
NOTE: Screw casters
or legs all the way in
coupling, then adjust out
to level side to side with
1/4 inc (6mm) slope to the
front.

water waste connection. Both water
condensers are tied together so
that one water inlet and one water
waste is all that is required. The
connections are found on the bottom
under the compressor mounting
area and are clearly tagged - “Water
Inlet” and “Water Waste”. A manual
shut-off valve should be installed
in the water inlet line at the time
of installation. The water pressure
must be between 35-140 psig (241-
965kPa) for proper operation.
5. Place the freezer in the nal location
and level the machine by adjusting
the legs or casters so that the unit
is level side-to-side, and the front
is approximately ¼” lower than the
rear, to allow proper drainage of the
freezing cylinder.
6. Water Cooled Do not allow
freezer to be in ambient where
air temperature goes below 0°C
(32°F),the freezing temperature of
water.
7. Water consumption increases
if temperature of entering water is
above 20°C (65°F)
CAUTION
To prevent accidental electrical
shock, a positive earth ground
is required.
of voltage indicated on the nameplate.
Also, on three-phase systems,
voltage between phases must be
balanced within 2%. (More than a
6 volt difference between any two
voltage measurements at 208-230
volts indicates a possible imbalance.)
Request your local power company to
correct any voltage problem.
3. An easily accessible main power
disconnect must be provided for all
poles of the wiring to the freezer.
2.3 Electrical Requirements
1. Always verify electrical specications
on the data plate of each individual
freezer. Data plate specications will
always supersede the information in
this manual. (See Figure 3-2)
2. Supply voltage must be within + 10%
2.2 Installation
1. This freezer is designed for indoor use
and must be protected from outdoor
weather conditions.
2. Where codes permit, we recommend
that the freezer be installed on casters
and have exible water and electrical
connections for service and cleaning
ability.
3. All models require a minimum 6 inch
(15cm) clearance on either the side
panels and 0 inch in the rear or 6 inch
(15cm) in the rear and 0 inch on the
side panels for adequate ventilation.
Freezers require a least 24 inches
(61cm) clearance above the top panel
and be free of obstructions. Anything
blocking ventilation of the freezer
(including cone dispensers) will
reduce the efciency of the freezer.
4. Water cooled double models will
require a 1/2” MPT water inlet and
CAUTION
All materials and connections
must conform to local
requirements and be in
compliance with the National
Electrical Code (NEC).

CAUTION
To prevent accidental electrical
shock, a positive earth ground
is required.
2.4 Electrical Connections
Important!
A positive earth ground is required for
electronic VQM system
to operate correctly.
1. Double freezers with two compressors
require one power supply for each
side of the freezer. Each side of the
freezer operates independently.
2. Check the data plate for fuse
size, wire ampacity, and electrical
specications. (See Figure 3-2)
3. Refer to the wiring diagram provided
for proper power connections.
4. Electrical connections are made in
the junction boxes located mid-level
behind the left side panel.
Important
Set switch next to the connection
box “UP” for 220-230v or “DOWN”
for 208-219V. Failure to set switch to
proper voltage will cause damage to
the electrical components and will void
all warranties.
5. Use a exible connection when
permissible.
6. For 3 phase freezers, beater shaft
rotation must be clockwise as viewed
from the front of the freezer.
