Placement & Set Up Consider the following when choosing where to set up and place your RAVE EZ Set Ice Rink: • Site suitability: Place your unit on the most level area possible free from any sharp objects or rocks. Slope should be less than 2 inches over 10 feet. Place your unit a minimum of 6 feet away from any trees, rocks, or other structures.
and the longest dimension is running across (perpendicular) to the slope. • Convenience: Place your unit where it can be easily supervised. • Water source: Place your unit where you can easily fill and resurface your EZ Set Ice Rink with tap or well water. NOTE: When using a hose in cold weather do not leave it outside after use. Water left inside the hose will freeze and cause damage. Side wall setup 1.
diagonally across from the first corner. Before inserting stake into the ground, pull the ice rink liner taught. Proceed to stake the remaining corners, remembering to pull the liner taught each time before screwing the stake into the ground. 3. Clip in the pivoting side support brackets in the already punched holes around the perimeter of the liner. NOTE: Bracket must be on the outside of liner wall as shown below.
4. Be sure that your EZ Set Ice Rink liner is tight to each corner to ensure proper freezing of the ice. FIRST ICE The optimum temperature for freezing your rink is 32 degrees F/ 0 degrees C. Begin filling with water, but do not fill it entirely at once. Add water in increments, as smooth ice is created by freezing many thin layers (less than ¼ inch at a time). Attempting to create thick ice at once will result in trapped air bubbles and a bumpy surface.
Your ice rink will start to ice up fairly quickly, but it may be several days before it is thick enough to use depending upon weather conditions and the number of layers needed to get ice to a sufficient thickness across the entire span of the rink area. Be patient with your ice, trying to ice your rink too quickly will result in an uneven ice surface. TESTING ICE FOR USE Normally, the ice will need to be at least 3 to 4 inches thick to prevent cracking.
NOTE: Removal of the Corner Screw Stakes will not decrease stability of the ice surface. RESURFACING Adding more water to the surface of your RAVE EZ Set Ice Rink and allowing it to freeze will refresh the ice surface smoothly. It is recommended that you avoid resurfacing your ice until late in the afternoon or at night after you are done skating for the day. When resurfacing you should evenly spread a shallow layer of water across the entire rink area to maintain a level, smooth skating surface.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE Clean your RAVE EZ Set Ice Rink with mild soap and fresh water; never use strong detergents or petroleum-based products. Also never use high pressure cleaning equipment such as a “pressure washer”. This will quickly result in damage to your product. Completely dry unit. Wipe the product off with a terry cloth towel and allow product to dry completely. Ensure that the rink is clean and dry, then store in a safe place until next use.
