REPLACEMENT & ADJUSTMENT OF WATER FLOAT VALVE Turn off main power to flaker. Shut off the water supply to the ice flaker and drain the supply line. Loosen and remove the compression fitting at the float valve. While holding the float valve body with a pliers or crescent wrench, remove the water float valve fitting from the valve body. Using a 13/16" socket ( a spark plug wrench works great), remove the locking nut from the valve body, (you may need to hold the valve body from turning). Remove the old valve and fiber washer. Install new valve ( with fibber washer on the inside of the water sump), tighten the locking nut with the socket. The valve body should be held in place with the discharge port facing straight down. Re-install the float valve fitting, Reattach water supply line. Turn on water shut off valve and check for leaks at the compression fitting and at the float valve fitting. The water level should be maintained just below the lower edge of the water return trough while the flaker is operating. To adjust the operating level, hold the float in one hand, and push or pull on the brass shaft (depending on whether the water level is too high or too low.) Watch the operation for a while to verify the water level, If the water level is still not where it should be, re-adjust the float.
