T261/T264 Crusher Installation Instructions
CAUTION:
{Adjust the bin thermostat to turn off the bin cuber before the ice level is above the
guard screen. If ice is allowed to collect above the screen it will not clear when the ice
below is removed.
{This condition will cause ice to pile up in the chute of the crusher and ultimately,
damage the cuber.
{It should be understood that the use of the bottom guard will REDUCE the
effective volume of the bin.

The crusher is designed to operate in conjunction with one or two Kold-Draft
®
cubers.
Two motor control relay blocks are provided and a relay coil must be installed for each cuber
used. Each relay coil must have a voltage rating matching the voltage of the ice cuber,
regardless of the crusher motor voltage. The relay coils are installed through the opening in the
control box. A third relay is provided for controlling one or two cubers with the same set of bin
thermostats. This relay coil voltage rating is matched to the crusher motor voltage and is
provided with the crusher.
12. A dual safety switch system is employed in the crusher design to break the circuit to the motor.
If either the front panel of the crusher or the front panel of the bottom ice maker is removed, a
switch will open the motor circuit. The crusher safety switch is mounted in the crusher control box.
The ice maker safety switch must be mounted by the installer. (See illustration "D")
If not provided, locate and drill two 3/16 inch dia. holes in the ice maker lower front rail. Mount the
safety switch support with the #8-32 screws and nuts provided.
12. Install a grommet in the 1-3/32 inch dia. hole in the ice maker condensing unit pan.
Push the crusher control wire assemblies through the grommet into the ice maker.
14. Connect the safety switch wires from the crusher to the "Common" and "Normally Open"
terminals of the cuber safety switch. (See Wiring Diagram)
15. Route the chrusher control wires along the right side of the partition wall to 7/8 inch hole
located to the right of the contactor. Install a grommet in the hole and push the wires through.

T261/T264 Crusher Installation Specifications

The T-264 are wired at the factory for 200-240 volt 50/60 hz. operation.
The T-261 are wired for 100-120 volt 50/60 hz. operation.
Refer to equipment name plate data for current value and maximum fuse size. This unit must be
provided with a separate, properly protected circuit with no other loads. A fused disconnect
installed adjacent to the crusher is recommended (must be supplied by installer), and may be
required by local codes.
Crushers are intended for indoor use only with permanent connection to a field electrical supply.
All models are intended to be installed only in conjunction with Kold-Draft
®
cubers on Kold-Draft
®
bins.
CRUSHER OPERATION
With the crusher knob in the "CRUSHED" position, ice falling from the cuber will be directed by the
selector plate through the crusher mechanism and deposited into the left side of the bin.
The crusher motor is powered through a relay which is energized by the hot gas valve circuit of the
ice maker. The selector knob must be in the "CRUSHED" position to close a switch and complete
the circuit to the motor. Additionally, the front panel safety switches must be depressed (covers on)
for motor operation.
With the crusher knob in the "CUBE" position, ice falling from the cuber will bypass the crusher
mechanism and be dumped into the right side of the bin. The crusher motor will not be energized.
