SECTION 10 - AUGER/IMPELLER
10.1 AUGER/IMPELLER REMOVAL
Place unit in the belt service position.
1. Remove bolt holding auger driven pulley to shaft
and remove pulley.
2. Remove three nuts holding bushing flange to
housing and remove flange on each side.
3. Grasp auger assembly and pull gear case and
auger/impeller assembly free of housing.
4. Remove shear bolts and remove auger from shaft.
5. Check all parts for wear or replacement.
6. Assemble using reverse procedure.
10.2 SHEAR BOLTS
WARNING: Stop engine, remove key, wait for
moving parts to stop and remove wire from
spark plug before leaving operator’s position
and attempting to maintain or inspect auger.
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
secures auger to shaft. This allows auger to turn freely
on shaft preventing damage to gear drive.
To replace shear bolt:
1. Slide auger outward against roll pin and align hole
in shaft with hole in auger (
Figure 23). The holes in
shaft for roll pins and shear bolts will line up.
2. Drive the new shear bolt through hole (if shear bolt
was broken this will drive remaining part from
shaft).
3. Secure with nut.

10.4 RUNNERS
CAUTION: Adjust auger/impeller housing
height to clear gravel or crushed rock
surfaces.
Runners should be adjusted as co nditio ns requi re
(
Figure 25). Raising or lowering runners controls
distance scraper blade is held above surface being
cleared.
When operating machine on gravel surface, lower
runners so the housing will not pick up gravel. O n
concrete, blacktopped or packed down snow surfaces,
raise runners so that scraper blade scrapes clean.
Position unit on a flat level surface. Adjust runners by
inserting a spacer of desired thickness under center of
scraper blade, loosen hardware, slide runners to flat
surface and retighten hardware.
NOTE: Above method keeps housing level by adjusting runners equally. Uneven runners make machine
difficult to steer and results in uneven clearing.

SECTION 11 - GEAR CASE
11.1 ALUMINUM GEAR CASE
1. Remove auger/impeller and gear case from
housing referring to Auger/Impeller Section.
2. Remove eight bolts that hold right and left gear
case halves together (
3. If flange bushings need replacement, first remove
seals from outside of gearcase halves with a
screwdrive r. Flange bushings can t hen be pr essed
out from outside in with a bearing driver. Bushings
are very lightly pressed in.
4. When replacing bushings make sure the flat on the
flange of bushing fits in the inside notch of the
case.
5. There are two special thrust washers, one on
either side of worm gear. If burred or worn, they
should be replaced.
6. Holding the worm gear on rake shaft is a wood ruff
key.
7. Remove bronze bushing from front of worm shaft
by sliding it off. Replace if necessary. Notice that a
flat on the bushing flange positions the bearing
inside the gearcase.
Figure 26).
8. Behind rear bronze bushing is a seal which fits into
a groove in gearcase. It should be replaced at time
of repair.
9. Rear bushing is a larger diameter than one in front,
but are identical in design. Replace if necessary.
10.If replacement of thrust collar is necessary, drive
out groove pin towards direction of least
resistance.
11.Inspect worm shaft for burrs or black coloration. If
either show up, replace shaft.
12.Prior to re-assembly, apply anarobic sealant to a
clean surface. Allow to cure for 24 hours.
Reassemble. Make sure the flats on the bushings
are in their proper place.
This case requires Ariens L-2 P/N 00008000 and
should be half full.
After assembly is complete you should be able to turn
input shaft freely.
Auger/impeller gearcase is lubricated with Ariens L-2
(P/N 00008000). Check lubrication by removing filler
plug. Lubrication should be even with hole with unit
sitting level. It may be necessary to insert a wire into
the hole to check level. Unit will not be damaged by
over-lubricating.
