TIRE PRESSURES

Check tire pressures at ieast once each month. Inflate tires to

pressures shown in the chart below. Use a low pressure tire

gauge for accurate readings.

Keep tires properly inflated at all times. Over-inflation will cause

operator discomfort. Under-inflation will cause short tire life.

Always see that the tire valve caps are in place and securely

tightened to prevent air loss.

FUEL PUMP AND FILTER - FIGURE 17

The engine may fail to start due to lack of fuel at the carburetor if

the fuel pump shown in Figure 17 loses its prime. This can occur

when the fuel tank is run dry or may be due to evaporation of fuel

from the system after a storage period. In either case, make cer

tain there is fresh fuel in the tank and operate the priming lever

on the fuel pump several times to start fuel flow. (Models with

twin cylinder engines require no priming and have no primer

lever.) If a faulty fuel pump is suspected, see your Ariens dealer.

When dirt or other foreign material is allowed to enter the fuel

tank it will collect in the fuel filter located by Figure 17. This will

eventually cause fuel stoppage. The filter can be disassembled

and cleaned.
