CHECK CLUTCH OPERATION

Auger / impeller must stop within 5 seconds

when attachment clutch/impeller brake lever

is released.

Wheels must stop quickly when traction drive

clutch lever is released.

If clutches do not engage or disengage

properly, adjust or repair before operation

(see Attachment Clutch/Brake Adjustment on

page 24 and Traction Drive Clutch

Adjustment on page 27).

CHECK CLUTCH SPRING

ADJUSTMENT

Make sure the attachment clutch and traction

drive clutch are adjusted to the range

specified in Attachment Clutch/Brake

Adjustment on page 24 andTraction Drive

Clutch Adjustment on page 27.

CLEAN ENGINE

Refer to Engine Manual for detailed

instructions.

CHECK ENGINE OIL

The engine crankcase oil should be checked

every 5 hours of operation. Oil level MUST be

maintained in safe operating range on

dipstick at all times or engine damage will

result (See Engine Manual).

Park unit on a level surface. Refer to Engine

Manual for detailed instructions.

CHANGE ENGINE OIL

Change oil after first 2 hours of operation,

thereafter change oil every 25 hours (more

often if required). Refer to Engine Manual for

detailed instructions.

Run engine just prior to changing oil. Warm

oil will flow more freely and carry away more

contamination. Remove the oil drain plug

from the rear of the unit and tip the unit back

to help drain all the oil.

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE

Keep tires at pressure listed on the tire

sidewall. (see Check Tire Pressure on

page 10).

CHECK AUGER GEARCASE

IMPORTANT: Proper oil level must be

maintained.

Gear cases are filled to the correct level at

the factory. Unless there is evidence of

leakage, no additional lubricant should be

required. Check oil level each season or

every 25 hours of operation.

To ensure adequate lubricant level:

1. Remove filler plug (Figure 12). Lubricant

must be at least up to bottom of lubricant

filler hole with unit resting on a level-

surface.

2. Add lubricant if required. Allow oil to

drain to level of plug and replace plug.

IMPORTANT: Use only Ariens special gear

lubricant L-2 (Part Number 00008000).

Gearcase filler plug may require an

application of Loc-Tite® 565 thread sealant

with repeated servicing.

GENERAL LUBRICATION

IMPORTANT: Wipe each fitting clean before

and after lubrication. Do not wipe gearcase

filler plug; wiping the gearcase filler plug may

remove thread sealant and cause leaks.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow grease or oil to

get on friction disc, friction plate or belts.

NOTE: Apply Ariens Hi-Temp Grease or

equivalent to the lubrication fittings. See

SERVICE PARTS on page 29.

Sno-Thro should be lubricated (Figure 13) at

beginning of season or every 25 operating

hours.

Auger Shaft

NOTE: To grease auger shaft, remove shear

bolt nuts, and shear bolts. Apply grease at the

grease zerks and then turn the auger

assemblies on the auger shaft. Replace

shear bolts per instructions in Shear Bolts on

page 21.
