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.

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 14). 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 25.

Sno-Thro should be lubricated (Figure 15) 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 shaft. Replace shear bolts per instructions in Shear Bolts on page 18.
