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 (800) 523-9361 or (610) 252-7301.
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,
