(Figure 16)

IMPORTANT: Proper oil level must be

maintained.

the factory. Unless there is evidence of

cover.

device. Add lubricant if required.

NOTICE: Inspect seal washer for wear or

rubber deterioration and replace as needed.

IMPORTANT: Use only Ariens L3 synthetic

severe duty gear lube (Part Number

00068800). Use of other lubricants will void

unit warranty.

3. Reinstall oil fill plug and seal washer to

80 lbf – in. (9 N•m).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVER-TORQUE!

Note that measurements are in pound force

inches (lbf – in) and NOT pound force

foot ( bf – ft).

IMPORTANT: Be sure to install seal washer

with rubber side down (Figure 16).

IMPORTANT: Improper torquing, omission of

seal washer, or incorrect installation of seal

washer will void unit warranty.
