Yep, clears the inlet to the vertical auger.
The old Zamboni at our rink was like that but some of the newer machines apparently do that automatically.
The old machine we had was equipped with an air cooled VW industrial engine.
The wheel adjusts how much bite the blade on the surfacer takes.
Levers for turning flood water on and off.
Levers for turning vertical and horizontal augers on/off
Lever for raising and lowering the surfacer
Lever for dumping the snow bin.
Lever for hydrostatic drive
Some have wash water to clean ice before flood water goes down.
Gas pedal
Brake pedal
I am probably missing something, it has been a few years since I had volunteered at our local rink.
