Preventive Maintenance
For The Manager Who Depends Upon This Machine
For Efficient Operation.
“Preventive Maintenance” simply means that you or a delegated employee makes a daily
visual check of your Vogt Ice machine. Here is what to look for and why:
Daily checklist:
1. Is the machine running or is the bin full
2. Bin doors kept closed
3. Thermostat sensor in bracket
4. Does all ice discharge during harvest
5. Cleanliness
6. Unusual noises
Why?
When you make these simple observations on a daily basis, you insure the smooth
production of ice for your facility. When you are aware of the proper operating conditions
and observe them on a daily basis, changes in these conditions can alert you to changes
in the operation of the machine which may require maintenance--long before a service
situation arises.
Note To Manager or Owner:
The following page is a complete Preventative Maintenance Schedule that should be
performed each 90 days. The Preventative Maintenance page may be copied and given
to your service person. It should be signed, dated, and returned to you for permanent
record.
