Assembly Instructions
Preparation
Your Synthetic Ice rink setup will be much easier with the help of another person.
- The full size panels 3/8” panels weigh 60 lbs and the 1/2” panels weigh 80 lbs.
- Two people each carrying an end of one panel is the easiest method for moving the Synthetic Ice panels from place to place. Gloves are also recommended.
There are 4 unique sides to each panel.
For example, the left side of the panel will only connect to the right side of the next panel and the top of the panel will only connect to the bottom of the next panel and so on.
When you lift the Synthetic Ice panels off the pallet, it is important to maintain the same pattern as you carry them to the installation area.

Care & Maintenance
As Needed
The following maintenance will be required on an as needed basis:
- Remove all plastic shavings and debris from the rink.
- Sweep up and vacuum entire rink surface. Use of a leaf blower for large facilities will speed up the process.
- Blow the shavings into one pile and scoop up. Shavings are normal and expected!
