3.7  Auger Adjustment 

 

Keep  your  feet  and  hands  away  from  under  the  conditioner  when 
raising or lowering. Be sure you have blocked the conditioner in an 
up position before you do any adjustments or maintenance. 

When  you  are  doing  a  flood  and  you  find  that  there  are  diagonal 
marks left  on the ice  it  is an indicator that the  ice surface may  be 
uneven, your auger is set too low or that your auger is bent. If you 
find that a large amount of snow is being carried in front of the auger, 
it is because you have set the auger too far from the ice surface. 

To correct these problems, adjust the auger as follows: 

1.  Loosen the four outer bolts on the bearing adjustment plate. 
2.  To  check  the  distance  for  the  proper  height  or  depth,  run  a 

string across the bottom of the runners at the lowest point of 
the auger  and measure the distance between the string and 
the auger. The proper space between the ice and the bottom 
of the auger is 1/16” (0,2 cm) to a maximum of 1/8” (0,125 cm).
