SPEED CONTROL BELL CRANK

(self-propelled units)

The speed control bell crank holds the speed

control rod in position after a speed has been

set. The spring washers may become loose

with normal wear. If the speed control rod

does not stay firmly in position, adjust the

speed control bell crank. See Figure 12.

To adjust:

1. Remove cover, fully compress the

helical spring lock washers with lock

nut and then back lock nut off, one

quarter turn.

2. If the speed control rod is still too loose,

tighten lock nut by small increments

until it holds its position. Tightening the

lock nut too much will not allow the

speed control rod to move at all.

3. Align notch in left hand side of cover

with bolt and secure with knob.

IMPORTANT: NEVER spray unit with water or

store unit outdoors. Store mower in a cool, dry,

protected location.

Cleaning

Clean unit thoroughly. Brush off dirt and debris

from all surfaces. Touch-up all scratched

surfaces to prevent rust. Matching touch-up

paint is available from your Ariens Dealer. Do

not use abrasives, solvents, or harsh cleaners.

Inspection

Inspect mower and repair or replace worn or

damaged parts to avoid delays when

beginning use again.

Regularly check all hardware and keep

fasteners tight. Know unit is in safe working

condition.

Grass Bag

Wash out grass bag and allow to dry before

storage. Grass bag may be stored in position

on mower.

Engine

time, remove all fuel from tank and carburetor
