Q. How often is the resurfacer blade changed?
A. The resurfacer blade is over six feet long and needs to be sharp to insure a quality ice sheet. It is located behind the horizontal auger just in front of the squeegee and is bolted onto the conditioner. At most arenas, the blade is changed once a week at the same time that other maintenance is performed on the resurfacer. The resurfacer blade is extremely sharp so it must be changed with caution.
