2. Field‐installed service disconnect required
350‐6 375
3. Unit must be properly grounded at the provided grounding lug. If 250‐6 375
multiple ground wires are used, all wires must be twisted together 4/0‐6 275
prior to tightening ground lug. 2/0‐14 120

5. Flush process with water. (Fill reservoir with water and use pump to flush your process out through the
wye strainer).
6. Fill reservoir with 35% propylene glycol mixture. Failing to get the correct mixture will void the warranty.
7. Bring S1 on the Ranco down to your desired set point (compressor will bump start three times before
staying on).

MAINTENANCE
Please contact G&D Technical Support if you have any questions or concerns regarding the performance, operation,
or maintenance of your chiller: 800‐555‐0973
• Refer to the separate G&D Chillers Preventive Maintenance Checklist for a complete list of maintenance tasks.
• Contract a licensed refrigeration technician to evaluate the chiller refrigeration circuit(s) regularly. These
checkups should occur annually at a minimum. Every 3‐6 months is recommended.
The following tasks can be performed without the need for specialized equipment or training:
• Check glycol level and glycol/water ratio monthly. Use glycol refractometer to confirm 35% glycol mixture.
• Verify pump function quarterly. Confirm glycol supply pressure. Listen for abnormal sounds from the pump.
• Verify thermostat function quarterly. Check displayed temperature against a thermometer measurement.
• Condenser should be cleaned at least every 6 months for proper operation and efficiency. Use a garden hose
and spray at an angle downward.
• Lubricate fan motors every 12 months.
• See warning below. With the service disconnect in the OFF position (no power to the chiller), inspect control
panel contacts on compressor and pump contactors. Contact an electrician if replacements are needed.
