MAINTENANCE

Ariens Company recommends that you have adjustments

made by your local Ariens dealer. He has the tools and know

how to properly perform these maintenance adjustments

which may be required to keep the Sno-Thro operating at

peak efficiency. The Sno-Thro is equipped with the finest

quality engine obtainable. However, should servicing be

required, it can be obtained from an Ariens dealer or an

authorized engine manufacturer's service station. Should you

decide to make adjustments on your Sno-Thro yourself,

Ariens recommends that you call your dealer for the answers

to any questions that might arise in performing this work.

SHEAR BOLT REPLACEMENT

Occasionally a small object may enter the collector and jam

the rakes. When this occurs, the shear bolts securing the rakes

to the shaft will break and allow the rake to turn freely on the

shaft preventing damage to the gear drive. When this happens,

turn off the engine, remove wire from spark plug, remove the

broken shear bolt and replace with a new ARIENS shear bolt.

Use of any other type of shear bolt may result in severe

damage to the machine. USE ONLY ARIENS SHEAR BOLTS

FOR REPLACEMENT. Each time a shear bolt is replaced

(and once each year) the rake should be rotated on the

shaft and the shaft oiled. Oil shaft through shear bolt holes.

position and retighten the nuts. Be sure to adjust both runners

to the same height to keep blower housing level. Uneven

runners make the machine difficult to steer and will result

in an uneven clearing job.

Adjustment of the runners is critical to good cleaning. If

the machine is to be used on a gravel surface; lower the

runners so the blower will not pick up gravei then after the re

maining snow is packed down, the runners may be raised

for close scraping. On smooth concrete or blacktopped sur

faces, the runners may be raised so the scraper rests on the

surface and scrapes clean.

The blower clutch is adjusted by connecting the spring on

the clutch rod into the proper link on the clutch handle chain.

Properiy adjusted, the spring should be slightly extended with

the clutch handle down. This should occur without the

attachment activator lever touching the hub. If the activator

lever touches the hub, the blower belt idler pulley must be ad

justed in the idler arm. Loosen the cap screw on the idler

and move the idler IN TOWARD the belt. Readjust the spring

The runners (i^ on each, side of the blower housing are

all adjustable to suit conditions. Raising or lowering the

runners controls the distance the scraper is held above the

surface being cleared. Runners are adjusted by loosening the

two nuts securing each runner. Move the runner to the desired

DRIVE DISC ADJUSTMENT

The only adjustment for the drive disc is made by adjusting

the length of the traction clutch rod. Loosen setscrew in the

rod adapter and allow clutch handle to lay down on handle

grip. Shift speed selector to third gear. Raise rod adapter

bracket until it clears the top of the slot in frame by 1/16"

and tighten setscrew.

Check for proper adjustment by removirig tbe bottom

cover and measuring the space between the roll pin and

bracket on the traction clutch rod. This space must be 3/16"

with clutch handle engaged, for proper operation. See Figure
