4.2 SERVICE POSITIONS
Ariens Dealers will provide any service or adjustments
which may be required to keep your unit operating at
peak efficiency. Should engine service be required,
contact an Ariens dealer or an authorized engine
manufacturer’s service center.
Service Position
Place unit on a flat level surface. ALWAYS stop engine
and disengage clutches. Tip up on the service bar for
ease of access during some procedures. Assure unit is
secure and will not tip over. Strap and clamp onto lift if
used.
When unit is tipped up onto its service bar, undrained
gasoline drawn into cylinder may wash cylinder wall
and shorten engine life.
4.3 FILLING THE FUEL TANK
To add fuel to fuel tank (Figure 3):
1. ALWAYS place unit in open or well ventilated area.
2. Stop engine and allow to cool for 2 minutes.
3. Clean fuel cap and surrounding area to prevent dirt
from entering fuel tank.
4. Remove cap.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT use gasohol or gasoline
containing alcohol. Alcohol will cause internal parts to
deteriorate. See Engine Manual for correct type and
grade of fuel.
5. Fill fuel tank to within 1/2" (1.3 cm) below bottom of
filler neck with unleaded gasoline.
6. Replace fuel cap and tighten.
7. ALWAYS clean up any spilled fuel.
Maintenance Schedule
The chart below shows the recommended
maintenance schedule that should be performed on a
regular basis. More frequent service may be required
due to working conditions (heavy loads, high ambient
temperatures, dusty conditions, or airborne debris).
See Engine Manual for further maintenance and
troubleshooting information.
4.4 GENERAL LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT:
Wipe each grease fitting clean before
and after lubrication. Keep grease and oil off belts to
avoid slippage and deterioration.
NOTE:
Apply Sten Mix Hi-Temp Grease or equivalent
to the lube fittings. Order P/N: 00036800 - three pack of
3 oz. cartridges or 00036700 - ten pack of 14 oz.
cartridges.
The steering system, front wheels, left rear wheel and
linkage pivot points should be lubricated every
25 hours of operation, or twice each season,
whichever occurs first (Figure 4).

serious injury.

or moderate injury and/or damage to the unit.
Before unit is tipped up onto housing, remove
enough fuel so that no spillage will occur.
