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.
