CIRCUIT BOARD SERVICE

Printed Circuit Board Handling Precautions
Follow these simple precautions when replacing a

Printed Circuit Board
1. Keep the replacement PC Board in the

anit-static packaging until it is ready to be installed.
2. Be sure that your hands are clean.
3. Just before touching the board, touch the

cabinet of the machine to discharge any possible

build up of static electricity.
4. Handle the original and replacement boards only

by their outer edges.
5. Place the original board in the anti-static

package for return (if in warranty).

LIQUID CHARGING

Instructions for R-404A
In preparation for charging, the low side hose

should have a sight glass, and/or a restrictor

device (such as a “Charge Faster”) installed in it for

metering liquid into the low side of the system.
1. After a thorough evacuation to at least 300

microns, shut off the manifold valves and switch off

the vacuum pump.
2. Place a drum of R-404A onto an electronic

scale.
3. Attach the charging hose to the drum.
4. Open the valve on the drum and purge the

charging hose.
5. Zero out the scale.
6. Shut the low side access valve at the ice

machine.
7. Open the discharge manifold valve full open.
8. Watch the scale, when the correct charge is

shown, shut the manifold valve.
Note: If all of the charge will not “go in” the

discharge side:

A. Shut the discharge access valve at the ice

machine.

B. Switch the machine on.
C. Open the low side access valve at the ice

machine.

D. Open the low side manifold valve and

observe the sight glass to be certain that only gas

is flowing into the system.

E. When the proper charge is indicated on the

scale, shut off the manifold valve(s).

9. Shut off the valve on the refrigerant drum.
10. Re-open the manifold valves until all liquid has

flowed out of the hoses.
11. Shut the low side access valve on the ice

machine.
12. Remove hoses from ice machine and replace

all caps.
