9. Adjustment of Water Regulating Valve - Water-Cooled Model Only

The water regulating valve, also called “water regulator”, is factory-adjusted. No
adjustment is required under normal use. Adjust the water regulator, if necessary, using
the following procedures.

1) Attach a pressure gauge to the high-side line of the system or prepare a thermometer

to check for the condenser drain temperature.

2) Rotate the adjustment screw by using a flat blade screwdriver, so that the pressure

gauge shows 270 PSIG or the thermometer reads 104-115 °F, 5 minutes after a freeze
cycle or icemaking process starts. When the pressure exceeds 270 PSIG, or the
condenser drain temperature exceeds 115 ° F, rotate the adjustment screw counter-
clockwise. See Fig. 1.

3) Check that the pressure or the condenser drain temperature holds a stable setting.
