Page 32: Chapter 3 - Operating Procedures: Standard Ice Resurfacing
Operating Manual Chapter 3 – Operating Procedures: Standard Ice Resurfacing The following provides direction on how to use the Zamboni FastICE system to perform a standard ice resurfacing. 1. Fill the Ice Making Water tank to between 50% and 100% full. The amount of water in the tank should be determined by how much ice thickness you plan to build. - Page 33 Drain the Ice Making Water tank at the end of the ice resurfacing session. We recommend that the tank be filled only to what will be used during the resurfacing session to guarantee that only hot water is used to make ice. Zamboni FastICE ® Operating Manual...

Page 35: Chapter 5 - Recommended Regular System Maintenance
The water filter should be purged using the removable cap once per week, and the filter element should be inspected for debris once every 2 weeks. Also, we recommend that the Ice Making Water tank be fully drained and rinsed out once every 2 weeks to ensure proper system performance. Zamboni FastICE ® Operating Manual DK - 11000... -
