The engine is air cooled. Air must circulate freely around

the engine from the air intake screen shown in Figure 15 and

over the cooling fins in the cylinder head and block to prevent

overheating.

Every 50 hours of operation or quarterly check the air

intake screen. Wipe away any dirt or debris which has col

lected on the screen. Remove the shroud. Figure 15 and in

spect the cooling fins. Remove any dirt, or chaff accumulations

from the cooling fins with compressed air. Replace shroud.

TIRE PRESSURES

Check tire pressure at least 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

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

carburetor if the fuel pump shown in Figure 16 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 certain there is fresh fuel in the

tank and operate the priming lever on the fuel pump several

times to start fuel flow.

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 shown in Figure 16.

This will eventually cause fuel stoppage. The filter can be dis

assembled and cleaned.
