Operation Section 3

! Warning

TRANSPORTING ICE

1. PULL cart from base.

2. Place lid on cart.

1. Completely knock down all ice from sides and back of bin.

2. Knock down any bridge that has occurred in middle.

3. Agitate paddle back and forth to break up congealed ice mass.

Breaking Ice Bridges

Do not dig up at ice. Instead, break away “legs” that are holding bridges. Ice above will then fall.

To avoid injury, do not attempt to break up bridged ice through upper windows or hopper shutter door. A falling ice bridge can cause paddle to lift. Keep head and face away from paddle handle to avoid injury.

It may be necessary to use the paddle to break up ice bridges that occur along the sides and in the middle of the bin. This often happens if ice has been held in storage for a period of time without use. Use supplied paddle accessory to break up bridges.

Baffle Operation

The baffle can be adjusted and locked at one of several levels to accommodate flow characteristics of different types of ice.

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