Installation Instructions and Parts List

Welcome to Follett

Follett ice storage bins enjoy a well-deserved reputation for excellent performance, long-term reliability and outstanding
after-the-sale support. To ensure that this bin delivers that same degree of service, we ask that you take a moment to
review this instruction before beginning the installation of the bin. Should you have any questions or require technical
help at any point, please call our technical service group at [phone] (US & Canada) or [phone] and in
Poland: [phone].

Before you begin

After uncrating and removing all packing material, inspect the equipment for concealed shipping damage. If damage
is found, notify the shipper immediately and contact Follett Corporation so that we can help in the ling of a claim, if
necessary.

Important cautions

§ Top is NOT fastened to bin.

§ Avoid excessive tightening force when connecting to the bin drain tting.

§ Do not apply excessive heat if any sweating of ttings is necessary. Heat conduction through
metal may melt threads in plastic drain tting.

§ When leveling, do not extend any leg more than 1 in. (26mm) for total leg height no greater than

2.125 in. (54mm).

§ SDU1000: Legs must be secured to oor through feet to avoid possible movement and resulting

Operation

SmartGATE operation

Follett’s unique SmartGATE positively controls the ow of ice into lower door assembly area for removal with either
a scoop or shovel. SmartGAT E can also be adjusted and locked at one of several levels to accommodate ow
characteristics of different types of ice.

Bin is shipped with SmartG AT E in full down position. SmartGAT E can be raised and locked in higher position for better
ow or when more access is needed.

If more ice is needed in lower door area:

1. Use full-length handle at top of SmartG AT E to gently lift and jiggle SmartGATE to encourage ice to ow into access

area of the bin (Fig. 2). (Loose ice will cascade into lower door area.)

2. When adequate ice has owed, push SmartGATE back down.

When more access is needed or to encourage ow of less “slippery”

rear window
front window

ice:

1. Lock gate at higher level by pulling up and holding SmartG AT E at
correct level, and pushing tapered end of catch into nearest hole in
gate (catch will automatically release when you pull up).

2. To release catch, pull up on SmartG AT E .

Using ice probe tool accessory

Ice probe tool is an optional accessory that can be ordered directly from

Follett. If your bin has been ordered with ice probe tool accessory, mount

probe for easy access on either side of bin in bracket provided.

Fig. 2

Using probe

If there is adequate ice in bin but lower door area is not lled with
ice, it may be that ice has congealed in bin and cannot ow. This can
often be remedied by quickly jiggling SmartGATE several times (Fig.2).
If problem continues, probe tool can be inserted through rectangular
openings in SmartG AT E and agitated back and forth to break up
congealed ice mass (Fig.3).

Note: Use probe tool only as described above. To avoid possible injury,
keep head and face clear of lower door area and tool at all times. Do not
use probe tool for other purposes.
