The Ultimate Ice Resurfacer 63
Vertical Auger
There is only one adjustment to be made on the vertical auger, look into the inspection plate
where the auger connects to the motor, the space between the coupling halves should be no
more than 1/6th” (1.5mm).
Generally if the space is more than that it might be necessary to replace the bushing in the
bottom of the vertical auger.
6.4.3 Down Pressure Check
Raise the blade to above the runners by turning the adjustment crank counter clockwise.
With the conditioner in the UP position, drive the OLYMPIA onto the ice surface.
Lower the conditioner to the ice surface by pushing and holding the CONDITIONER UP DOWN
switch down until the lift arms are against the down pressure stops. Before operating the
OLYMPIA, you should check to see if the runners are sitting level on the ice surface.
We recommend that you drive around the ice surface with the conditioner down for 2 or 3 laps
to cool the runners.
To do this, the conditioner should be lowered so the runners are sitting on the ice surface and
the conditioner lift arms are against the down pressure stops.
For proper traction and control the rear tires of the OLYMPIA should be in full contact with the
ice surface, the entire width and 5” (12.7cm) of the circumference of the tire should be at on
the ice.
It is important to have the correct tire pressure 85 psi (5.8bar) in the tires prior to checking
and adjusting the conditioner down pressure.
