6. Gently press against cable between

control lever and adjuster. There must

be a slight amount of deflection in cable

with clutch disengaged.

7. Tighten lock nuts.

IMPORTANT: If you cannot adjust the PTO

clutch or if it fails to operate properly,

immediately take the unit to your Ariens

dealer for repair.

WHEEL DRIVE ADJUSTMENTS

The unit should stop immediately when the

wheel drive control lever (Figure 10, item 4) is

released. The unit should not creep forward

when the wheel drive control lever is released

and the engine running.

If the unit creeps, the gap between the drive

rollers and tires must be adjusted. If the unit

does not accelerate smoothly or slips under

load, increase the traction and speed. See

Wheel Drive Traction Adjustment on page 19.

Drive Belt Guards

The lower guard covers the blade spindle and

drive belt. The upper guard covers the wheel

drive components.

To remove a guard:

1. Shut off unit.

2. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark

plug.

3. Unscrew two hex bolts from mounting

brackets and remove guard.

NOTE: Each mounting bolt includes a captive

flat washer and nyloc nut. The captive nut

prevents the bolt from separating from the

guard. The mounting bolt secures to a

weldnut on the back of each mounting

bracket.

To install a guard:

1. Position guard on mower and slide bolts

with captive nyloc nuts into mounting

brackets.

2. Thread each mounting bolt into

mounting bracket and tighten to 63 lbf-ft

(85 N•m). Do not overtighten.

3. Connect spark plug wire to spark plug.

WARNING: Test PTO clutch. The

blade must stop within 3 seconds

after releasing control lever. If blade

continues to run, adjust or repair

control components immediately.
