Driven Pulley Maintenance

The driven pulley should be inspected for wear at the cam

shoes to prevent damage to pulley and pulley compression

spring.

1. Secure vehicle for maintenance. See Securing Vehicle

for Maintenance on page 20.

2. Remove screws securing drive belt cover. Pull cover

back to inspect.

3. Check cam shoes on driven pulley every 100 hours or

less for wear. Cam shoes should be at least 1/16”

(1.6

mm) above aluminum hub when measuring

parallel to the cam incline.

4. Replace all cam shoes if there is less than 1/16”

(1.6

mm) clearance between aluminum housings.

Contact your nearest Ariens vehicle dealer for

replacement assistance.

Engine Air Filter Maintenance

NOTE: Do not operate engine with a damaged air filter or

without an air filter element. Dirt will enter engine causing

dust ingested engine problems.

NOTE: Do not block air intake port leading to air cleaner.

Placing an object on the platform in front of the air intake

duct or allowing loose clothing to drape over the duct could

block the duct opening.

1. Release retaining clips (item 5) to remove canister

access cover (item 4) and filter element (item 3). Clean

canister (item 2) with a damp cloth.

DANGER: Do not replace cam shoes without

contacting your Ariens dealer for assistance. The

compression spring can cause bodily injury if

replacement is done incorrectly.
