Add sufficient ice machine cleaner to the water tank

Check the oil level in the sight glass

Is the oil level below 1/4 of the sight glass?

Add two quarts of 300 S SU viscosity refrigeration oil if needed

Crankcase Heater and Oil Temperature

Has the crankcase heater been energized for at least four hours?

Record the oil pressure gauge reading

Ensure the cutter is powered off and secured

Gather necessary tools (straight edge, wrench, etc.)

Measure the length of the straight edge used (should be 30” for P24 and 40” for P34)

Check the clearance between the top of the cutter rim and the top of the water tank flange (should be 1/8” ± 1/16”)

Remove the cap screws holding the drive gear to the split taper bushing

Jack the gear off the bushing and remove both from the gear reducer shaft

Clean the split bushing and tapered hole of the new drive gear
