CHECK CLUTCHES

Auger / impeller must stop within 5 seconds

when attachment clutch/impeller brake lever is

released.

Wheels must stop quickly when traction drive

clutch lever is released.

If clutches do not engage or disengage

properly, adjust or repair before operation (see

Service and Adjustments).

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.

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE

Keep tires at pressure listed on the tire

sidewall.

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 9). 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).

GENERAL LUBRICATION

IMPORTANT: Wipe each ﬁtting clean before

and after lubrication.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow grease or oil to

get on friction disc, friction plate or belts.

NOTE: Apply Stens Mix Hi-Temp Grease or

equivalent to the lubrication ﬁttings. See

Service Parts.

Sno-Thro should be lubricated (Figure 10) at

beginning of season or every 25 operating

hours.

Auger Shaft

NOTE: To grease auger shaft, remove shear

bolt nuts, and shear bolts. Turn auger on shaft

while applying grease at zerk ﬁttings. Replace

shear bolt per instructions in Service and

Adjustments.
