SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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. Gold Medal is not responsible for
damage that occurs in transit.

Setup:

Your new Shavatron Ice Shaver Machine 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:

Model No. 1020, 1020T: 120 Volts, 970 Watts, 60 Hz.
Model No. 1020EX, 1020TEX: 230 Volts, 820 Watts, 50Hz.

.

Your electrician must furnish sufficient current for proper machine operation. We recommend this ice shaver
machine be on a dedicated and circuit protected line. Failure to wire properly will void the warranty and can
result in damage to the light, motor and etc.

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 risks and the ice shaver’s performance will be
sacrificed/reduced.

Before You Plug In Machine:

1. Make sure that the wall outlet can accept the three (3) prong grounded plug 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.

3. DO NOT use a three (3) prong grounded to two (2) prong un-grounded adapter.

4. If the optional 1078HD Chute is attached to your machine, follow the installation instructions provided
with the 1078HD Chute before operation.

Operating Instructions

Make sure the hopper is clear of obstructions, then secure a supply of ice (either blocks, cubes or
rough crushed ice) and fill the hopper. Ice chunks should be no larger than a baseball for maximum
capacity (large ice chunks take more time to shave).

1. Move the toggle power switch into the “ON” position to illuminate the lights.

2. Fill the hopper with ice. Be careful not to overfill.

3. Close the hopper lid. The unit will not operate if the lid is not completely closed.

4. Push the momentary motor switch.

Metal or foreign objects will ruin the shaving blades instantly.
Make sure that both the hopper and ice supply are free of debris
including: Ice picks, scoops, nails, nuts, bolts, etc.

Safety Cut-Off Switch

CAUTION

on, the machine will not operate with the hopper lid open. This is to prevent accidental injury while
loading or cleaning the hopper. Be careful not to overfill the hopper to the extent that the hopper lid
stays open. The lid must be closed and you must press the momentary motor switch in order for the
machine to operate.

Your Shavatron is equipped with a safety cut-off switch. With the momentary motor switch pressed

Never put your fingers or any object into the shaver body while the unit
is running. Since you can be seriously hurt by not following these
instructions, Gold Medal does not assume any liability for injury due to
careless handling or operation of this unit.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Blade Adjustment

Inspect your equipment before adjusting the blades. With the machine unplugged, 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. Set the blade thickness equal to a dime. (See illustration below.) Make sure that the height is even
across the shaver head.

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

Motor Lubrication

The drive motor bearings are sealed and require no lubrication. Do not oil the motor, it will
cause more harm than good.

Changing Fluorescent Lights

Remove the sign retaining angle from the top of the dome, by removing the four screws that
hold it into place, and then slide the sign out to access the light tube. Replace the light tube
and then reassemble in reverse order.

Changing Belts

on the right hand side can be lifted out of its slot in the hinge bracket. Slide the lug on the left
hand side out of the hinge bracket, and remove the hopper lid. Remove the two bolts which
hold the hinge bracket to the machine. The dome can now be removed. (On units
manufactured after 3-1-95). Remove the four dome hold down screws. Loosen the four motor
hold down bolts and slide the motor toward the center of the hopper, loosening the belt.
Remove the old belt and install a new one.

Unplug your machine. (On units manufactured before 3-1-95.) Raise the hopper lid until the lug

NEVER STRETCH THE BELT WHEN INSTALLING THE PULLEY.
ALWAYS LOOSEN THE HOLD DOWN BOLTS. After the new belt is
installed, move the motor to the left by hand as far as possible, making
sure the belt is tight. Re-tighten the motor hold down bolts. NEVER
USE A PRY BAR OR BOARD TO MOVE THE MOTOR.

Lubrication Of Thrust Bearing and Adjustment Of End Play

The small thrust bearing should be lubricated approximately once per season. Unplug your

machine. Remove the dome. To do this, remove the two screws which hold the bracket in
place, and carefully lay the bracket face down on the top frame. A large hex adjustment nut is
located below the pulley on the shaver shaft. Loosen the set screw in the side of the hex nut.
Loosen the adjustment nut as much as possible, so it is up against the pulley. NOTE: This
nut is of the airplane locking type, therefore, it will turn hard on its threads at all times. By
grasping the pulley, hold the shaft upward as much as you can, and press some grease into
the thrust bearing located below the adjustment nut. Use any variety of sticky type grease,
such as water pump grease or Alpha Molykote Corp., No. 505 “Whitekote” lubricant
(recommended by the bearing manufacturer). After the grease has been applied, screw the
adjusting nut downwards until all play up and down is removed. Do not tighten any further.
Now tighten the set screw and reassemble your machine.

Removal and Replacement Of Glass

To remove glass from the frame, grip the retaining vinyl with needle nose pliers at a corner
and pull. Repeat for each corner of glass. With the vinyl remove the glass will come out
easily. To install new glass, place the glass in the frame, making sure the glass does not enter
the channel intended for the vinyl. Starting at a corner, install the vinyl into the channel (make
sure it locks into place). A knife handle with a rounded point is useful in pushing the vinyl into
position. Obtain Tempered glass from a local hardware store, in the following sizes:

Front Glass (1 required) — 20" x 24" x 1/8"
Side Glass (2 required) — 16" x 20" x 1/8"
