Ice guide adjustment
Some ice types are very “slippery” and may flow over sides of cart when exiting hopper. Ice guides hang down below
hopper and help contain flowing ice inside cart.
Guides are installed in highest position at factory, providing 3/4" clearance to top of cart when legs are in full down
position. If legs are adjusted up during leveling of Ice Cart System, ice guides should be lowered to maintain 3/4"
(19mm) clearance. Access to sides of Ice Cart System is required to perform operation.
To reposition ice guides after legs have been adjusted:
1. Position cart (with totes, if so equipped) in bay below shutter door opening.
2. Determine amount guides must be lowered to maintain 3/4" (19mm) clearance.
3. Remove thumbscrews holding guides.
4. Select hole to reposition guide at proper level and resecure with thumbscrew.
5. Repeat process for each bay in system.
Operation
Cart drain operation
1. Position cart all the way in bay.
2. Lock caster to prevent cart movement.
3. To open drain, pull knob out.
4. To close, push knob in.
Cart lids
1. Hang cart lids on brackets on bin side when carts positioned in bay.
2. Remove from bracket and place lid on cart when carting ice.
3. To avoid placing lid on floor, position lid horizontally on cart lip, resting lid against cart handle when unloading ice from
cart.
4. Reinstall lid in bracket on side of bin before placing cart in bay.

Breaking ice bridges
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.
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.
Ice gate operation
Ice gate can be adjusted and locked at one of several levels to accommodate flow characteristics of different types of ice.
Bin is shipped with ice gate in full down position. Ice gate can be raised and locked in higher position for better flow or
when more access is needed.
Do NOT dig up at ice. Instead, break away “legs” that are holding bridges. Ice above will
then fall.
A falling ice bridge can cause paddle to lift. Keep head and face away from paddle handle
to avoid injury.

Cleaning bin before use and ongoing bin maintenance
Interior of bin must be cleaned and sanitized prior to use and should be cleaned on routine basis during use
(see next page).
Interior bin care
Scotsman ice storage bins are equipped with polyethylene liner walls which should be cleaned and sanitized periodically.
Wash bin walls and hopper, rinse and sanitize.
Important: Scotsman recommends installing a properly-sized, activated carbon (charcoal) water filter on water
supply to ice machine to remove chlorine.
Exterior bin care
Exterior stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner.
Clean and sanitize bin and cart(s) interiors prior to use and on regular schedule as
needed. Use non-chlorine based cleaner and sanitizer suitable for use in a food zone. Do
NOT use chlorine-based cleaners, which can cause staining and pitting of stainless steel
components. Do not run Totes through a dishwasher. Turn off ice machine(s) and remove
ice from bin before beginning.
