Adjustments

Ariens Company recommends that you have

adjustments made by your Ariens Dealer. He has

tools and the know-how to properly perform

adjustments which may be required to keep your

Sno-Thro operating at peak efficiency. Should you

decide to make the following adjustments on your

Sno-Thro yourself, Ariens Company recommends

that you call your dealer for answers to any questions

that might arise.

WARNING: Gasoline is highly

flammable and its vapors are explosive.

Handle with care. Never allow smoking

materials, sparks, or flame (match, pilot

light, etc.) near equipment or fuel

container.

CAUTION: When unit is tipped up onto

housing, remove enough fuel so that no

spillage will occur.

Attachment Belt

Without the engine running, remove the Belt Cover.

Observe that the Attachment Brake is seated against

the Attachment Drive Belt when the Attachment

Clutch ContrpI Lever is in the released (full up)

position. Adjust the Control Cable Mounting Nuts to

snug up the Control Cable, then back off on the Nut 2

turns to provide cable slack for brake wear. (See

Figuréis).

WARNING: It is necessary to perform

the adjustments with the belt guard

removed and extreme care is to be

taken to prevent injury. Stand well

clear of the open belt drive while

engine is running.

Start engine and run at full throttle. Slowly depress

the Attachment Clutch Control Lever until the auger

shaft begins to rotate, obsen/ing the bolt at the end of

the auger shaft. The measurement between the end

of the Attachment Clutch Control Lever and the

Handle Grip at this point should be between 3“ and 3-

1/4" as shown in Figure 13. If this dimension is not

within this range shut off the engine and adjust the

Attachment Drive Idler Pulley as required. 1/16"

adjustment of the Attachment Drive Idler Pulley will

result in an approximate 1/4" change in the

Attachment Clutch Control Lever engagement

position. Moving the Attachment Drive Idler Pulley

towards the Attachment Drive Belt will increase the

dimension between the Attachment Clutch Control

Lever and the Handle Grip.

Restart the engine and recheck the 3" - 3 1/4"

dimension.

Shut off the engine and install the Belt Guard.

WARNING: Belt fingers must be

between 1/16" to 1/8" from belt with

attachment clutch engaged or belt

grabbing may occur causing impeller

to rotate when attachment clutch is

disengaged. There MUST BE a slight

amount of slack in cable or impeller

may rotate while attachment clutch is

disengaged.

Wheel Drive Clutch

Adjust wheel drive clutch to compensate for wear of

friction wheel when slippage occurs.

Properly adjust the wheel drive clutch by rotating the

adjusting sleeve until the cable length provides 1/8 to

3/16 clearance slot between the frame and the

traction clutch arm when the traction clutch handle is

fully depressed. Lock adjusting sleeve with jam nut

when adjustment is complete. (See figure 13).
