Sno-King Model No. 1888, 1888EX

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Inspection Of Shipment

Unpack all cartons and check thoroughly for any damage that may have occurred during transit.

Damage claims should be filed immediately with the transportation company.

Setup

Your new Sno-King is completely assembled and tested at the factory. Remove all packing material and tape before starting operation.

Electrical Requirements

The following power supply must be provided:

1888: 120VAC, 60Hz, 972W

1888EX: 230V, 50Hz, 972W

Your electrician must furnish sufficient power for proper machine operation. We recommend this shaver be on a dedicated and protected circuit. Failure to wire properly will void the warranty and may result in damage to the machine.

It is Gold Medal® Products Company’s recommendation that this machine be plugged directly into a wall outlet. The use of extension cords is not recommended due to safety concerns, and may cause sacrificed and/or reduced performance.

Before You Plug In the Machine

1. Make sure the wall outlet can accept the grounded plugs (where applicable) on the power supply cord.

2. The wall outlet must have the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a competent electrician inspect the outlet and correct if necessary.

DO NOT

use a grounded to un-grounded receptacle adapter.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

To Operate the Sno-King

1. Load hopper with Ice.

2. Close pusher cap, and apply gentle downward pressure.

3. Turn on the power switch.

4. Press and hold in the momentary switch. Release the button once all of the ice has been shaved.

5. Do not lift the pusher cap until the motor is off and the shaver head has stopped.

NOTE:

Never allow any foreign or metallic objects around the shaver area of the Sno-King. Ice picks, scoops, and debris that may be in the ice often damage blades.

Ice Requirements

The Sno-King can take ice cubes or block ice, if you break the block into pieces approximately 2 to

3 inches in size.

Daily:

NOTE:

The ice will not enter the shaving chute if the pieces are too large

Cleaning

the Ice Shaver

1. Wipe the outside parts with a clean cloth.

DO NOT

use oven cleaners, as they will damage parts of the machine.

2. Ammonia cleaners will damage the Lexan Windows. Use only non-ammonia cleaners, such as

Gold Medal® Watchdog Glass Cleaner (item number 2588).

INSTALLING NEW SHAVER BLADES

MAKE SURE TO UNPLUG THE MACHINE FIRST

. After having unplugged the machine, inspect your equipment before replacing the blades. Use a flashlight to examine the blades in the shaver body. If the blades appear to be nicked or bent, then the blades should be replaced.

Follow This Procedure

1. Unplug the main power supply cord from the electrical outlet.

2. Remove the shaver head from the motor shaft by loosening the Allen head set screws. (Access to the set screws may be between the hopper and motor or from the underside opening of the hopper inside the cabinet).

3. Remove the shaver head. Pull the shaver head off of the motor shaft and through the hopper. If the shaver head is frozen onto the shaft, remove the hold down bolts on the motor. Pull the motor back, trapping the shaver head against the inside of the hopper, until the shaver head disengages.

4. After removing the shaver head, check the motor shaft for burrs and corrosion. Use a fine tooth file to remove the burrs and corrosion.

5. Remove the blades from the shaver head. These blades may be re-sharpened, but it is far better to replace the old blades with a new set.

6. Position the new blades and insert screws until they are finger tight.

7. Set the blade thickness equal to a dime. (See illustration below.) Make sure that the height is even across the shaver head.

8. Tighten the blade screws completely. Check the blades again with a dime to ensure the blades did not move while tightening the screws.

9. Replace the motor and shaver head. Mount the motor using the hold down bolts. Insert the shaver head through the hopper and onto the motor shaft. Press the shaver head onto the motor shaft with the pusher handle, and then move the shaver head in another 1/8". Check that the shaver head is not rubbing against the back of the hopper and the blades are not touching the pusher handle or sides of the hopper.

10. Tighten the set screws in the shaver head.

NOTE:

Replace the shims that were between the motor base and the mounting surface.
