19) Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of
refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the
pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). Do Not use R-404A as a mixture with
pressurized air for leak testing.
20) Evacuate the system, and charge it with refrigerant. See the rating label inside the
icemaker for the required refrigerant charge. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin
refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard 700 (latest edition) be
used.
21) Replace the removed parts in the reverse order of which they were removed.
22) Replace the top and side panels in their correct positions.

6) Remove the top and side panels.
7) Remove the strap connecting the spout to the chute assembly, then remove the spout.
8) Remove the extruding head seal bolts. Using the cutter, lift out the auger assembly.
9) The mechanical seal consists of two parts. One moves along with the auger, and the
other is xed on the lower housing. If the contact surfaces of these two parts are worn,
cracked, or scratched, the mechanical seal may cause water leaks and should be
replaced.
10) Remove the socket head cap screws and split lock washers securing the evaporator to
the lower housing.
11) Raise the evaporator up to access the lower housing.
