5) Disconnect the vacuum pump and attach a refrigerant service cylinder to the high-side
line. Remember to loosen the connection and purge the air from the hose. For the
required refrigerant charge, see the rating label inside the front panel on the icemaker
or on the nameplate on the condensing unit. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin
refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard No. 700-88 be used.
6) A liquid charge is recommended for charging an R-404A system. Invert the service
cylinder and place it on scales. Open the high-side valve on the service manifold.
7) Allow the system to charge with liquid until the proper charge weight is met.
8) If necessary, add any remaining charge to the system through the low-side. Use a
throttling valve or liquid dispensing device to add the remaining liquid charge through
the low-side access port with the unit running.
9) Close the service manifold valves, the two refrigerant access valves and disconnect the
service manifold hoses.
10) Cap the access valves to prevent a possible leak.

1. Removal and Replacement of Compressor
IMPORTANT
Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is
opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has
been made. Install the new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of
the refrigerant ow.
Note: When replacing a compressor with a defective winding, be sure to install the
new start capacitor and start relay supplied with the replacement compressor.
Due to the ability of the POE oil in the compressor to absorb moisture quickly,
the compressor must not be opened more than 15 minutes for replacement or
service. Do not mix lubricants of different compressors even if both are charged
with R-404A, except when they use the same lubricant.
1) Turn off the power supply.
) Remove the panels.
3) Recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container.
4) Remove the terminal cover on the compressor and disconnect the compressor wiring.
5) Remove the hold-down bolts, washers, and rubber grommets.
6) Remove the discharge and suction pipes.
7) Remove the compressor. Unpack the new compressor package.
8) Attach the rubber grommets of the prior compressor.
9) Place the compressor in position and secure it using the bolts and washers.
10) Remove the drier, then place the new drier in position, (located in the icemaker). Install
the new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of the refrigerant ow.
