Operating the Ice Resurfacer
Leaving the Ice Surface
When leaving the ice surface after nishing a resurfacing (or any other time):
(See Figure 7.5)
• Close the wash water system valve. Turn off water pump (if used).
• Turn off the auto snow breaker (if equipped).
• Raise the cutting blade out of the ice.
• Turn off augers. This is especially important for machines equipped with
the auto snow breaker option. Failing to stop both augers could result in
damage to the snow chute and the actuating cylinder by contacting the
horizontal auger.
• Close the ice making water valve.
• With the augers stopped, raise the conditioner fully by operating the
conditioner lift valve lever.
• If dumping outside, reposition the towel bar assembly to the raised position
on the conditioner to avoid getting it dirty.
Off of the Ice
The following operations are performed off of the ice surface:
• Dumping the snow tank on a level surface if possible.
WARNING!
Raise the snow tank by operating the snow tank valve
lever. After the snow has been dumped, lower the tank.
If the tank is to be left up, the snow tank support stand
must be properly placed to support the tank.
DANGER!
The snow tank should NEVER be raised while the
conveyors are ON. When the snow tank is raised, the
vertical conveyor blades are exposed and can cause
personal injury if operating.
CAUTION!
The ice resurfacer should not be moved while the snow
tank is being lifted or when the tank is in a raised
position.
The vehicle should be level when raising or lowering
the snow tank.
