Estimating the term…
A support mount for a receiver in an ice resurfacing machine, an ice resurfacing machine, a system for making an ice surface level with a desired horizontal plane and its kits of each of them. A receiver is mounted on a support mount for maintaining an ice resurfacing machine level with a desired horizontal plane comprising a mast post that retracts within a structure mounted on the conditioner. The receiver detects a light beam being transmitted along a plane parallel to a desired horizontal plane. The position of the mast post relative to the structure is constrained such that the height of the receiver in a transport position is vertically retracted to permit the ice resurfacing machine to pass under obstacles while entering or leaving an ice surface and in an operative position is extended to a height whereby a light beam emitted by a transmitter along a plane parallel to the desired horizontal plane may be detected. At all times the mast post remains away from contact with the ice surface. Rather, the height of the receiver above the top of the conditioner is maintained constant while in the operative position to permit calibrated and level resurfacing of the ice surface level with the desired horizontal plane.
