PREPARING THE ICE MACHINE FOR STORAGE
14. Remove the top clamp from the vent tube, for easier
access for the air hose.
15. Apply air pressure (approximately 10 psi) to the end of
the vent tube which will purge the remainder of the
water from the drain pump and the drain line. (See
Figure 44).
16. Reinstall the vent tube and clamp to the back of the ice
machine and remove the winterization plug from the ice
bin and save it for future use.

To Restart the Ice Machine
1. Reconnect or turn on the water supply line.
2. Reconnect drain tubing if removed.
3. Plug in the power cord to a wall outlet and turn the
ice machine on, (refer to page 16 for turning the ice
machine on and off).
4. Check the water inlet, drain lines, and fittings for any
water leaks.
5. Check drain pump (if equipped) operation by pouring
approximately two (2) quarts of water into the ice
storage bin. The drain pump should activate and
discharge water (refer to Drain Pump on page 7).
Check for water leaks at all hose connections.
Drain Pump Removal Instructions:
1. Unplug the ice machine from the electrical supply and
remove the rear access cover from the ice machine.
(See page 27 for instructions).
2. Remove the front panel and the toe grille from the front
of the ice machine. See Figures 46 and 46a.
3. Remove the front and rear drain pump brackets. See
Figures 47, 47a and 48.
4. Unscrew the 3 hose clamps and remove the 3 hoses
