INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Eskimo Ice Installation Manual - Self-Contained System
4 L-2448A ENGLISH
4. If you decide to remotely mount the control box, be sure it is away from direct spray, from engine air intakes, and from
water washdown.
5. If pump wires need to be extended by butt connections, make sure they are tightly crimped and heat shrunk.
6. AC power source must be installed and grounded/bonded in accordance with ABYC standards.
7. Connect control wires to terminal strip with ring terminals.
INSTALLING CONDENSATE DRAINAGE
The condensate drain pan is 2.0” (51mm) high with two drain locations (one drain location on the EI250D). During conditions of
high humidity, condensate may be produced at a rate of approximately one-half gallon (1.9 liter) per hour. With this in mind, it is
important to route condensate drains downward to a sump pump. It is not recommended to route condensate drains to the bilge.
After the condensate drain installation is complete, test the installation by pouring one quart (liter) of water into the pan and
checking for good flow.
INSTALLING ICE-DELIVERY HOSE
Planning the Route
The maximum length of the ice-delivery hose is 30 feet (9m) for the EI600D or 15 feet (4.5m) for the EI250D.
The best hose routing provides a level but slightly upward rise from the auger to the box, with very few bends. No bend should
be tighter than a radius of 18" (458mm). Refer to Figure 1 below to see:
• Best Routing - A continuous uphill route of travel from the auger unit.
• Good Routing - A continuous route of travel, with only one high spot.
• Acceptable Routing - A route of travel which includes one low spot and two high spots.

Procedure
1. Install the proper thru-hull in the ice box using the supplied fitting. The thru-hull must be large enough for the 1-1/4"
(32mm) ice-delivery hose, and its location should facilitate the best hose route from the auger (as described above and
shown in Figure 1, page 4).
2. Insulate the full length of hose with 1-5/8" (42mm) ID, 1/2" (13mm) thick wall insul-tube, minimum.
