Operation

SmartGATE operation

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

Bin is shipped with SmartGATE in full down position. SmartGATE can be raised and locked in higher position for better flow or when more access is needed.

If more ice is needed in lower door area:

1.Use full-length handle at top of SmartGATE to gently lift and jiggle SmartGATE to encourage ice to flow into access area of the bin (Fig. 2). (Loose ice will cascade into lower door area.)

2.When adequate ice has flowed, push SmartGATE back down.

ice:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.

Lock gate at higher level by pulling up and holding SmartGATE at

 

 

 

 

correct level, and pushing tapered end of catch into nearest hole in

 

 

 

 

gate (catch will automatically release when you pull up).

To release catch, pull up on SmartGATE.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

Using probe

Fig. 3

If there is adequate ice in bin but lower door area is not filled with

 

 

ice, it may be that ice has congealed in bin and cannot flow. 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 SmartGATE 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.
