CLEAN ENGINE

Refer to Engine Manual for detailed instructions.

CHECK ENGINE OIL

The engine crankcase oil should be checked every 5

hours of operation. Oil level MUST be maintained in

safe operating range on dipstick at all times or engine

damage will result (See Engine Manual).

Park unit on a level surface. Refer to Engine Manual for

detailed instructions.

CHANGE ENGINE OIL

Change oil after first 2 hours of operation, thereafter

change oil every 25 hours (more often if required).

Refer to Engine Manual for detailed instructions.

Run engine just prior to changing oil. Warm oil will flow

more freely and carry away more contamination.

Remove the oil drain plug from the rear of the unit and

tip the unit back to help drain all the oil.

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE

Keep tires at pressure listed on the tire sidewall. See

Check Tire Pressure on page 10.

CHECK AUGER GEARCASE

IMPORTANT: Proper oil level must be maintained.

Gear cases are filled to the correct level at the factory.

Unless there is evidence of leakage, no additional

lubricant should be required. Check oil level each

season or every 25 hours of operation.

To ensure adequate lubricant level:

1. Remove filler plug (Figure 22). Lubricant must be

at least up to bottom of lubricant filler hole with

unit resting on a level-surface.

2. Add lubricant if required. Allow oil to drain to level

of plug and replace plug.

IMPORTANT: Use only Ariens special gear lubricant

L-2 (Part Number 00008000). Gearcase filler plug may

require an application of Loc-Tite® 565 thread sealant

with repeated servicing.

GENERAL LUBRICATION

IMPORTANT: Wipe each fitting clean before and after

lubrication. Do not wipe gearcase filler plug; wiping the

gearcase filler plug may remove thread sealant and

cause leaks.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow grease or oil to get on

friction disc, friction plate or belts.

NOTE: Apply Ariens Hi-Temp Grease or equivalent to

the lubrication fittings. See SERVICE PARTS on

page 29.

Sno-Thro should be lubricated (Figure 23) at beginning

of season or every 25 operating hours.
