Operating the Ice Resurfacer
4 - 4
Snow Conveyor
To Start the Conveyor:
Actuate the control on the tractor to supply hydraulic ow to the conveyor motor. The
operator should be able to hear the conveyor chain moving.
DANGER!
Turn off and remove the ignition key before adjusting,
repairing, cleaning, or servicing the conveyor.
If any part of the conveyor system becomes plugged or
clogged, or appears plugged or clogged, the conveyor
must be ushed out with water. Do not wear gloves or
jewelry when performing these functions.
Flushing the conveyor chutes out with water must be
done only after the machine has been removed from
the ice, the conveyor control has been returned to its
neutral (off) position, and the tractor ignition has
been shut off.
Under no circumstances should the operator attempt
to clean or clear the conveyor system or parts around
it while the machine is on the ice or the power is on.
To do so, exposes the operator and others to serious
potential injury or death!
Ice Making Water
Using hot water for the ice making water will generally produce the best ice surface. Do not
use water hotter than 160
0
F (70
0
C) as this could damage the plastic ice making water tanks.
To use the ice making water during a resurfacing:
• With the resurfacerer down and the tractor moving forward, open the ice
making water valve, located in the middle of the resurfacer.
• You can regulate this water ow by opening and closing the valve. Some
operators reduce the water ow in areas of the ice surface where they're
driving pattern overlaps many times, such as in the corners, at the ends of
the ice or the hockey goal areas to avoid leaving too much water.
• When the resurfacing is completed, close the valve before raising the
conditioner.
