NME454, 654 & FME504, 804 CLEANING & SANITIZING A Scotsman Ice System represents a sizable investment of time and money in any company’s business. In order to receive the best return for that investment, it MUST receive periodic maintenance. It is the USER’S RESPONSIBILITY to see that the unit is properly maintained. It is always preferable, and less costly in the long run, to avoid possible down time by keeping it clean; adjusting it as needed; and by replacing worn parts before they can cause

Check the bearing by: Auger Stud removing the ice chute cover Chute Cover Cap Screw Inspect the bearing. There should be plenty of grease in sight. If grease is needed the bearing and breaker should be removed to check the action of the bearing. It should rotate smoothly. To remove the breaker remove the lower ice chute then take out all four
