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.
3. 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.
NOTE: The ice will not enter the shaving chute if the pieces are too large.
Daily: 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.
