The rear end of the balance comes to the aft deck, where it can be pulled down with a number of ropes; If the ropes are released, it will fall down due to its own weight and break the ice. This can also be done with the Cape Standers, but these were most used for the movement; The ice breaker was also hunted by horses or manpower. A hunting mast has been placed against the advance of the bin, with a running ring to the top. There is a rudder on the stern of the pram.
