check for high amperage draw.
5.3 CONDENSERS
The air cooled condenser is a copper tube and aluminum
fin type. Condensing is totally dependent on air flow. A
plugged condenser or restrictions in the louvered grill will
restrict air flow. This will lower the capacity of the system
and damage the compressor.
The condenser must be kept clean from dirt and grease.
The freezer must have a minimum clearance of 2 - 3" at the
rear of the unit for free flow of air. Make sure the freezer is
not pulling over 100° F. of air in from other equipment in the
area. Figure 16.

5.5 HOPPER
A parallel refrigeration circuit feeds the hopper. A capillary
tube is used to meter the refrigerant to the hopper. An
E.P.R. valve (Evaporator Pressure Regulating) is used to
control the refrigerant at the outlet. The E.P.R. controls the
hopper pressure so, during heavy dispensing periods,
hopper temperatures will not drop and freeze the mix in the
hopper. The adjustable E.P.R. valve is preset at the
factory. If the hopper temperature is too cold or too warm,
an E.P.R. valve adjustment may be necessary.
A. E.P.R. Valve Adjustment
To adjust the E.P.R. valve, refer to the following procedures:
1. Remove the phillips head screws from the bottom
of the right side panel and remove the side panel

SECTION 7
ELECTRICAL
7.1 ELECTRICAL
The control system operates from drive motor torque.
When the product in the barrel freezes it puts a greater
load on the drive motor. As the resistance builds up the
drive motor body begins to rotate in the opposite direction
of the motor shaft overcoming spring tension. When the
motor has rotated far enough it contacts a microswitch
shutting off the compressor . After time has p assed or some
product has been drawn the resistance in the barrel decreases and the spring pulls the motor back. The micro
switch then closes and the compressor starts. There is a
10-30 second time delay on the compressor start. The
drive motor and condenser fan runs continuously .
7.2 FRONT ELECTRICAL PANEL
The front electrical panel contains the CLEAN-OFF-ON
switch, mode switch, light switch, and mix low light. The
