The Ariens Service manual is arranged for
quick, easy reference and is divided into
numerical sections. Each section is then divid
ed into sub-sections. To use this manual pro
ceed as follows:
Refer to the index to determine section within
Which desired information will be contained
and proceed to front of that section for its
Table of Contents.
Locate subject desired. Page number is listed
across from subject and consists of section
number and page number.
NOTE: Read all information for servicing a part
or system before repair work is started to avoid

6.7 Shear Bolt Replacement
IMPORTANT: Use only Ariens Shear Bolts for
replacement. Use of any other type of shear
bolt may result In severe damage to unit.
Occasionally an object may enter auger/
impeller housing and jam auger, breaking
shear bolts which secure auger to shaft. This
allows auger to turn freely on shaft, preventing
damage to gear drive.
To replace shear bolt, slide auger outward and
align hole in shaft with hole in auger (holes in
shaft for shear bolts line up). Drive new shear
bolt through hole (if old shear bolt was broken,
this will drive remaining part from shaft), and
secure with nut.

CAUTION: Adjust auger/impeller hous
ing height to clear gravel or crushed
A
rock surfaces.
Position Sno-Thro on a flat, level surface. Ad
just runners by inserting a spacer of desired
thickness under center of scraper blade,
loosen hardware, slide runners to flat surface
and tighten hardware.
Note: Above method keeps housing level by ad
justing runners equally. Uneven runners make
machine difficult to steer and result in uneven
clearing.
6.9 Discharge Chute Removal
On models with discharge chute crank rod
going through handlebar panel, remove hair
pin from discharge chute crank rod and slide
rod out through handlebar panel. Remove hard
ware attaching bracket to engine/motor and lift
discharge chute off auger/impeller housing.
Remove gear cover by removing two taptites
on cover.
Remove flat gear by removing nut securing car
riage bolt to center of flat gear.
Runners should be adjusted as conditions re
quire. Raising or lowering runners controls
distance scraper blade is held above surface
being cleared. When operating machine on
gravel surface, lower runners so that housing
will not pick up gravel. On concrete, blacktop,
or packed down snow surfaces, raise runners
so scraper blade scrapes clean. To reduce
tendency of housing to ride up over heavy, wet,
or hard-packed snow, remove runners and in

8.2 Engine Oil
Checking
The engine crankcase oil should be checked
daily or every 5 hours of operation. Oil level
MUST be maintained in safe operating range
on dipstick at all times or engine damage will
result
r
To check oil, park sno-thro on a flat, level sur
face, stop engine, and wipe all debris from
around dipstick cap. Remove dipstick and wipe
oil off. Screw dipstick assembly firmly but
slowly until cap bottoms on tube. Remove
dipstick and observe oil level.
Drain crankcase by removing oil drain plug.
When oil has drained, replace plug and refill
engine with new oil of proper grade (per engine
manufacturer’s instructions). Recheck oil level
with dipstick.
8.3 Engine Cooling
The engine is air cooled. Air must circulate
freely around engine from air intake screen,
over cooling fins on cylinder head and block to
prevent overheating.
Every 100 operating hours or yearly (more often
if conditions require) remove blower housing
and clean cooling fins. Also clean external sur
faces of your engine of dust, dirt and oil
deposits which can contribute to improper
cooling.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate engine with
cooling shrouds removed. This will cause
overheating and engine damage.
Fill crankcase with oil as recommended below.
Refer also to Engine manufacturer’s instruc
tions supplied with the product. Check oil level
before each use and change oil regularly ac
cording to Engine Manufacturer’s instructions.
8.4 Engine Oil Recommendations
If oil is low, add clean, fresh oil of same type
and viscosity as is in engine to bring oil level to
Full (F) mark (per engine manufacturers in
structions).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overfill. Level must not
exceed full (F) mark. Changing Oil
Changing Oil
IMPORTANT: Change oil after first 5 hours of
operation. Thereafter change oil every 25 hours
of operation (more often in dusty, dirty condi
tions). See engine manufacturer’s instructions
for proper type, viscosity and amount required.
NOTE: Run engine just prior to changing oil. Oil
will flow more freely and carry away more con
tamination when warm.
