GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Ice Requirements

The Shav A Doo can take ice cubes small or medium in size. If using a block of ice, break into pieces
approximately 3 to 4 inches in size. The ice will not enter the shaving chute if the pieces are too large.

Note: Harder ice will result in finer snow, while soft ice will result in coarser snow.

To Operate the Shav-A-Doo

1. Load hopper with Ice.

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

3. Turn on the power switch.

4. Press and hold in the “Push to shave ice” button. Release the button once all of the ice has been shaved.

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

Note: Never allow any foreign or metallic objects around the shaver area. Ice picks, scoops, and

debris in the ice will damage blades.

WARNING

Installing New Shaver Blades

This machinery contains sharp blades. Keep hands and body parts clear
at all times.

The section describes the procedure to replace the shaver blades. ALWAYS turn the machine OFF and
unplug unit from the power supply prior to blade inspection or replacement. 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.

037_103114

Blade Replacement

1. With the machine OFF, unplug the unit from the power supply.

2. Remove motor cover (keep all fasteners as they will be used to reinstall the cover).

3. Use a permanent marker and put a guide mark on the motor shaft where the shaver head

stops; also place a small guide mark on the cabinet where the motor sets (reference shaver
cut away view on next page).

4. To remove the shaver head from the motor shaft, loosen the motor mounting bolts. (If unit

has a hopper support and guide, it must also be removed).

5. Pull motor back until the (2) Allen head set screws on the shaver head are visible. Loosen

the (2) set screws (do not remove set screws).

6. Carefully guide the shaver head off of the motor shaft and through the hopper. If the shaver

head is frozen to the shaft, pull the motor back trapping the shaver head against the inside
of the hopper, until the shaver head disengages.

7. After removing the shaver head, check the motor shaft for burrs and corrosion (use a fine

tooth file to remove any burrs or corrosion).

8. Remove blades from shaver head. Replace old blades with a new set (blades may be re-

sharpened).

9. Position new blades on shaver head and insert blade mounting screws until finger tight.

10. Set the blade thickness to 1/32” using a height gauge (thickness of a dime), reference Set

Blade Height illustration shown on next page. Make sure the blade height is even across the
shaver head.

11. Tighten the blade mounting screws completely. Check the blade height again to ensure the

blades did not move while tightening the screws.

12. Carefully guide the shaver head through the hopper and back onto the motor shaft; realign

head with guide mark made on the shaft in Step 3 above. (The pusher handle may be used
to help press the shaver head onto the shaft.)

13. The shaver head set screws must be on the flat side of the motor shaft. Once aligned, fasten

set screws securely.

14. Adjust the motor to realign with guide mark made on the cabinet in Step 3, then refasten

motor mounting bolts (if unit has a hopper support and guide, it must also be reinstalled).
Check the shaver head to make sure it is not rubbing against the back of the hopper and the
blades are not touching the pusher handle or sides of hopper; adjust as needed.

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

15. Reinstall motor cover.
