OPERATION

PRE-STARTING INSPECTION

Prior to starting the engine for each day's operation, the

following checks and services should be performed;

a. Check oil in engine crankcase. Add oil as required to

maintain proper level.

b. Check fuel supply. Use regular gasoline only.
c. Check air filter for excessive dirt. Clean as required.
d. Make visual check with regards to safety precautions,

obstructions, lubrication, and maintenance.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Use the following procedure to start the engine:

1. Place the gear shift lever in the "Neutral" position, shown

in Figure 2.

To run the tractor in REVERSE, shift to reverse gear.

NOTE: This is a safety feature. The engine wili not start
unless the shift lever is in neutral.

2. Be sure the Implement Power Control SwitchMJFigure
1„is pushed in (OFF). ^

NOTE: This is a safety feature. The engine will not start un
less the switch is off (pushed in).

3. Raise throttle lever^^Figure 1, to approximately 1/3

fast position.

4. Pull choke control^^Figure 1, all the way out if engine
is Cold. If engine iswarm, little or no choke may be
required.

5. Turn ignition key(|^Figure 1, clockwise all the way.
Release key as soon as the engine starts and push choke

button in. In cold weather it may be necessary to push choke

in gradually until engine warms up. If engine fails to start
bn the first attempt, turn key to off, wait a few minutes and
try again. Do not operate the starting motor continuously
for more than 30 seconds at a time.

Always allow engine to warm up before applying load.

In below freezing weather, allow engine to run at a fast idle
for a period of at least 5 minutes before using the tractor.
Serious internal damage to the engine could result if this
procedure is not followed.

OPERATING THE TRACTOR - GEAR SHIFT LEVER

When the gear shift lever is placed in the neutral position
the interlock switch is closed and the engine can be started:
the rear wheels are not in gear and the tractor may be pushed

around by hand as required after releasing the parking brake.

In general, best results will be secured by running the

tractor engine at full throttle while selecting the gear that
gives the desired ground speed. This insures that the attach
ment operates at maximum efficiency.

THROTTLE LEVER SETTING

When operating power driven attachments such as the
mower, snow thrower or the rotary tiller, run the engine at
full throttle unless the attachment operator's manual specifies
otherwise. Use the shift control lever, not the throttle lever
to select a safe travel speed when using power driven
attachments.

To run the tractor FORWARD, shift to one of the four

forward speeds. Speed for each gear (with engine at full
throttle) is shown below:

1st Gear .7 mph
2nd Gear 2.1 mph
3rd Gear 3.7 mph
4th Gear 5.4 mph

Reverse Gear 2.9 mph

Safe or proper travel speed depends on the attachment

used as well as the type of terrain or lawn, field and garden
conditions in which the tractor is operated.

LUBRICATION

ENGINE

Check the engine crankcase oil level daily or every 5

hours operation. It is essential that the oil level be maintained

in the "safe" operating range as shown in Figure? at all

times or serious engine damage could result.

To check the oil, stop engine and wipe all dirt and dust

from around the dip stick. Figures. Pull dip stick out, wipe

off the oil, re-insert dip stick and push it down tight. Pull
the dip stick out and observe the oil level. Add sufficient oil
of the proper viscosity to bring the oil up to the "fill"

(F) mark, see Figure 7. Be sure tractor is level when checking
oil.

DO NOT OVERFILL — Oil level must never exceed full mark.
Oil capacity of the engine crankcase is 4 U.S. pints.

-6

Use AriensGard-N-Yardoil (SAE 10W-30 SE classification)
when using lawn and garden attachments. Use Ariens Sno­Thro oil (SAE 5W-20 SE classification) when using snow
removal attachments.

1. Drive tractor onto level ground.

2. Stop engine.

3. Wipe dirt from around the oil level filler plugs. See
Figure 10.

4. Remove filler plug. Oil level should level with the filler
plug hole, see Figure 10.

5. If necessary, use a small funnel to add sufficient MP-90

oil to bring the oil up to the proper level. Replace plug.

Be very careful to prevent dirt and foreign materials from

entering the transaxle when checking or adding oil.

CHANGE ENGINE OIL

When the tractor is new, the oil should be changed after

the first 5 hours of operation.

Under normal operating conditions, the oil should be
changed every 25 hours of operation. If extremely dusty or

dirty conditions prevail, change oil more frequently, use a
filter precleaner, consult Engine Manual.

Drain the crankcase by removing the drain plug, shown in

Figure 9 , and allow the oil to drain into a container. If

■k possible, run engine just prior to changing oil, as the oil will
^ flow more freely and carry away more contamination when

hot.

HYDRAULIC LIFT DIL LEVEL (Model 931013only)

The hydraulic lift system should seldom require additional

hydraulic fluid unless a leak should develop. The hydraulic
fluid is stored in a reservoir/cooler located under the floor
panel in front of the seat. To check oil level, drive the tractor
on to level ground; move the hydraulic lift lever to the
"DOWN" position until the lift cylinder is fully retracted.

Remove the panel. The hydraulic reservoir is now exposed.

Clean away all dirt and remove the pipe plug at the front of

the reservoir. The oil level should be to the bottom of the

edge as shown in Figure 11. Rock the machine while looking

down the fill hole to be sure of the oil level position. If

additional oil is required, fill to the proper level with SAE

10W-30 Gard-N-Yard oil or equivalent by removing the top

plug, adding oil, and removing the front plug, again, to set the

oil level. Replace all pipe plugs, clean excessive dirt from
the cooler fins and replace floor panel.

NOTE: Bottom of engine shown. FIGURE 9

Replace drain plug. Remove dip stick and refill crankcase

with 4 U.S. pints of oil. Check oil on the dip stick to see that
the oil level is at the full (F) mark. Do not overfill.

TRANSAXLE OIL GRADE AND VISCOSITY

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.

FIGURE 20

If Chevron tread tires are used, remove the wheel lug
nuts and re-assemble the wheels on opposite sides of the
tractor with the valve stems turned inward. Interchanging
the wheels is necessary to maintain proper direction of
rotation for traction tires.

The center rock shaft pan flotation spring, shown in Figure

24 provides mower flotation. The tension on the spring can be

increased or decreased by presetting the latch bar to a dif
ferent notch when the pan is fully raised. The bottom notch
provides the greatest flotation.

The front/center or rear rock shaft is selected for operation
by the manual lift lever by the lift selector knob. Figure 23.
To change selection, locate selector knob to proper end and
rotate the mechanical lift lever past the last notch to the
overtravel area. This allows the selector latch to change po
sition. This allows a rear attachment to be used without re

moving the front/center attachment, or vise versa.

HYDRAULIC LIFT OPERATION

The hydraulic lift system is standard equipment on the

S-14G.

The hydraulic control lever is located on the control

console, shown in Figure 2. It is a four position lever to per
form four functions, UP, HOLD, DOWN and FLOAT. The
normal out-of-use position is the "HOLD" position whereby
the attachment will not lower or raise. When it is desired to
raise the attachment, the lever is pulled to the "UP" position
and the cylinder is actuated to lift the attachment. When the
lever is moved to the "DOWN" position, the oil pressure in
the cylinder is reversed and the cylinder forces the attachment

down.

When an attachment is being used which is designed to fol

low ground contours, the lever should be placed in the
"FLOAT" position. The cylinder is then free to move as the
attachment position requires.

Figure 25 shows the components of the hydraulic lift

system. The hydraulic pump supplies the oil flow from the
oil reservoir/cooler. Oil flow to and from the cylinder is con
trolled by the valve.

MANUAL LIFT OPERATION

Manual Lift Lever {Figure 21) (Model S-10G only). To

raise attachment, depress thumb release and pull lever to the

rear until the locking pin engages in the proper quadrant

notch to obtain desired attachment height. To lower attach
ment, depress thumb release and push lever forward. After the
attachment touches the ground the force from the lift assist

springs will resist the forward motion of the lift lever. The

amount of resistance is relative to the spring adjustment.

The two springs shown in Figure 24 are used to provide
lift assist. The tension on these springs should be adjusted
using the chains shown in Figure 22, so the front mounted
attachments can be raised or lowered with the lift lever by
the operator.

and lower the rotary mower. This rock shaft is connected to
the manual lift lever through the link. The connection at the
rock shaft is made through the slotted hole which allows
the rock shaft to move up and down when in the lowered

position, allowing the mower to float without causing the lift
lever to move.

The' center rock shaft shown in Figure 24 is used to raise

When the cylinder is extended or retracted, the bell crank
pivots and raises or lowers both the front and center rock
shafts at the same time through the front and center rock
shaft linkages shown in Figure 25. The connection to the
center rock shaft is made through the slotted hole which allows
the center rock shaft to move up and down, allowing the

mower to float independent of the flotation provision in

the hydraulic system.

HYDRAULIC LIFT REAR ROCK SHAFT

The rear rock shaft comes with a lift selector device so
that the front and center rock shafts can be operated in­depefidentty of the rear rock shaft while utilizing only one

hydraulic cylinder. The alternately latched, split lift linkage

systeih holds the front and center rock shafts in their raised

positions while the rear rock shaft is operated by the cylinder

.or vice versa. This allows a rear mounted attachment to be

used without removing the front or center mounted attach

ments and vice versa.

FIGURE 22

To make the rear rock shaft operational, move the hy

draulic control lever to the "UP" position and hold it there
until the cylinder is fully extended. Place the selector knob in
the front notch (Figure 23).

To make the front and center rock shafts operational,
move the hydraulic control lever to the "UP" position and
hold it there until the cylinder is fully extendi. Place the
selector knob in the rear notch as shown in Figure23.

PREPARATION FOR STORAGE

1. Remove all oil, grease and dirt from engine and trans

mission.

2. Clean the tractor exterior and tires thoroughly, removing
all mud, dirt and grease.

3. Touch up all unpainted and exposed areas with paint to

prevent rust.

4. Change engine oil.

5. Disconnect fuel line at fuel filter and drain fuel tank. Run
the engine until the fuel is exhausted from the system.
Drain the carburetor by loosening the nut on the bottom of
the carburetor bowl. Clean the fuel filter.

6. Remove and clean the battery. Check electrolyte level and
have battery fully charged. Store battery in a cool, dry place
where it will not freeze.

•

7. Remove the spark plug and pour one tablespoon of SAE
30 oil into the cylinder. Turn engine over manually at least
two revolutions.

8. Re-gap spark plug. Replace if required.

9. Grease the steering system.

10. Store tractor in a cool, dry place to reduce tire de

terioration. Block up tractor to take the weight off the tires.

11. Inspect tractor for visible signs of wear, breakage or

damage. Order any parts required and make necessary re
pairs to avoid delays when starting next season.

NOTE: Your authorized Ariens dealer is trained and equipped
to service your tractor. A periodic check-up by your dealer

will help to reduce your maintenance costs.

PREPARATION FOR USE AFTER STORAGE

1. Replace battery and check electrolyte level.

2. Fill fuel tank with fresh, clean regular gasoline.

3. Check transmission oil level.

4. Check tire inflation.

5. Check oil level in hydraulic reservoir - Model 931013 only.

Gard-N-Yard MS 10W-30 oil when using lawn and garden
attachments and SE 5W-20 when using snow removal attach
ments.

Do not overfill — Oil level must never exceed full mark.

Figure 2A

3. After filling cells, wait five to ten minutes and add ad
ditional electrolyte if necessary to bring electrolyte to proper
level.

4. Charge battery with a 12 volt charger for 30 minutes
at 4 to 6 amps.

5. After charging, add electrolyte until level is up to the

split ring in the filler tube. Thereafter, add only clean, dis
tilled water as use and time requires.

6. Replace vent caps. Clean and dry battery exterior.

INSTALL BATTERY

Place the battery in the battery carrier as shown in

Figure 2Awith the positive (-^) terminal to the right side of
