GRASS BAGGING
Ariens recommends grass cutting with grass bagger
without vanes before installing vanes for increased per
formance. If performance is satisfactory without vanes
(available for mowers of 32" cutting width or less), do
not use vanes. The vanes use more power and generate
more noise. Use vanes only if satisfactory performance
cannot be obtained without them. Generally, broadleaf
grasses can be cut and bagged without vanes. The
finer grasses may require the use of vanes. In extremely
wet conditions, vanes may also be of help.

ADJUSTMENTS
SEAT ADJUSTMENT
BRAKE PEDAL SPRING ADJUSTMENT - FIGURE 3
The seat is adjustable front or back to many positions.
Adjustment is made by loosening the two rear mountng
bolts located under rear of the seat, sliding the seat to
the most comfortable position and then tightening the
mounting bolts.
SHIFT LEVER DETENT ADJUSTMENT
Check tightness of screws holding shift handle in the
detent positions. Screws must be tightened securely.
This will eliminate jumping out of gear. See Figure 4.
SHIFT
HANDLE
• TIGHTEN DETENT SCREWS THROUGH
HOLES TO HOLD SHIFT LEVER IN GEAR .
FIGURE 4
DISK BRAKE ADJUSTMENT - FIGURE 5
Once each season, or if the brake begins to slip and
does not hold the tractor, it is necessary to adjust the
disk brake located on the lower left side of the transaxle
assembly. See Figure 5. Adjust as follows:
1. Position the tractor on a smooth level surface and
place the speed selector lever in “NEUTRAL" so
the tractor can be pushed by hand to check the
brake.
2. Adjust the setscrew in the brake jaw assembly
clockwise until the brake just starts to lock. This
can be felt by pushing the tractor by hand. Leave
the brake pedal up during this adjustment.
The tension on the brake pedal itself is adjustable. If the
brake pedal does not return or feels loose, adjust the
nut on the end of the brake rod just inside the frame
next to the parking brake slot. Tighten the nut until the
spring adjacent to the nuts is 1 % inches in length.
FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT - FIGURE 6
Proper toe-in of the front wheel is necessary to assure
proper steering and to reduce tire wear. Correct toe-in
is when the front of the wheels are Vs" to Vi" closer
together than the rear of the wheels (measured at the
horizontal center line of the rim flanges).
If the steering develops a wandering characteristic or if
excessive tire wear develops, the toe-in of the front
wheels should be checked. If the toe-in is not correct,
adjust as follows;
1. Turn steering wheel until the rear edge of the
steering pivot is perpendicular (90 degrees) to the
tractor frame as shown in Figure 6.
2. Adjust length of tie rods until distances from
steering arm to frame (A and B) are equal and so
distance C is between Vs" to Vi" less than
distance D.
NOTE: USE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE TO SHORTEN
OR LENGTHEN TIE RODS.
1. Loosen jam nuts on ends of tie rods. Figure 6.
2. Remove the locknuts and pull out the ball joints.
Rotate tie rods until distances A and B, Figure 6,
are equal and distance C is Vs" to Vi" less than D.
3. Tighten jam nuts securely. Replace ball joints in
holes and secure with locknuts.

MOWER RUNNER ADJUSTMENT
After adjusting the cutting height and blade pitch as
described elsewhere In this section, thè mower runners
may be adjusted, as desired, to allow smooth, even
cutting of grass at different cutting height settings. Ad
justment must be even from side to side. Assemble out
side spacers to runners and mower before center
spacers. This will aid in alignment and ease of installa
tion. Do not tighten hardware until outside spacers are
installed.

SEAT MAINTENANCE
Clean the seat regularly, using a vinyl cleaner (not a sol
vent.) Extreme temperatures can damage the seat
when left without protection against the weather. If the
seat should tear, apply vihyl repair tape to the damaged
area.
BATTERY SERVICE
NOTE: REFER TO "BATTERY SET-UP AND
MAINTENANCE” SECTION, PAGE 36.
1. Check the battery electrolyte level once each
week or every 25 hours of operation. Check it
monthly if the tractor is idle or is in storage. Add
distilled water to bring the level to the bottom of
the split ring in the filler tube of each cell.
2. Each spring and fall clean the battery and ter
minals with ammonia or bicarbonate of soda solu
tion followed by flushing with clean water. Keep
ing the battery clean will prolong battery life.
After cleaning, apply a light coat of grease to the
terminal and cable ends.
3. Keep cable clamps securely tightened to terminals
and keep battery hold-down clamps tight to pre
vent vibration. Do not overtighten clamps. This
could warp the case.
WARNING; STORAGE BATTERIES GIVE OFF HIGHLY
INFLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS. DO NOT ALLOW

FUEL FILTER SERVICE - IFIGURE 21
Wheri dirt or other foreign material is allowed to enter
the fubi tank it will collect in the fuel filter eventually
causing fuel stoppage. If this occufs, replace filter.
MOWER BLADE AND VANES MAINTENANCE
Check tire pressure. Uneven tire pressure may cause
uneven grass cutting.
Models with 32” mowers are equipped with high lift
blades standard. Vanes (Service Part No. 527011)
may be bolted to the blades to improve discharge and
bagging or collecting of grass. These vanes may or may
not be helpful depending on your type of grass and
cutting conditions.
Ariens recommends that the user try the mower
without vanes first and if the performance is satisfac
tory, use without vanes since the vanes use more
power and generate more noise. Use vanes (Service
Part No. 52701 1) only if satisfactory performance can
not be obtained without them. Generally, broadleaf
grasses can be cut and bagged without vanes. The
finer grasses may require vanes. In extremely wet con
ditions, vanes may also be of help.
Routinely check for wear on the mower blade and
vanes, if used. This is especially true in sandy soil con
ditions.
4. Maintain the battery at full charge during storage
and during the winter months to prevent freezing.
When water is added during freezing weather, run
the engine at least on hour to bring the battery up
to a full state of charge.
5. When installing the battery, make certain the
ground cable is connected to the negative(-) ter
minal on battery. See Figure 22. Be sure positive
cable is connected to positive {+) terminal.
CAUTION: WEAR OF THE MOWER BLADE CAN
CAUSE STRUCTURAL WEAKNESS. DO NOT INSTALL
NEW OR REPLACEMENT VANES ON WORN BLADES.
THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD.
Replace worn parts with Ariens original equipment,
blades, vanes, and Grade 8 hardware as specified. Cap
screws must be installed with heads on top of the
vanes and vanes on top of the blade.

FILLING THE FUEL TANK - FIGURE 24
Before filling the tank, wipe all dust and dirt from
around the cap to prevent dirt from falling into the tank.
Use an approved gasoline container and keep it clean.
Fill tank completely. The tank capacity is 1.7 gallons
(6.5 liters). Use clean, fresh "regular” grade of
automotive gasoline. Use leaded or unleaded type. Do
not use premium gasoline. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Refer to Engine Instructions also.
DANGER: ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING
GASOLINE. NEVER FILL THE FUEL TANK WHEN THE
ENGINE IS RUNNING OR WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT.
NEVER SMOKE WHILE FILLING THE TANK. REMOVE
THE IGNITION KEY BEFORE FILLING TANK.
ENGINE OIL - FIGURE 24
Fill crankcase with oil as recommended below. Refer,
also, to Engine Manufacturer's Instructions supplied
with the product. Check oil level before each use and
change oil regularly according to Engine.
Manufacturer's Instructions. Check oil level with trac
tor on a level surface. Keep dipstick area clean.
IMPORTANT: ENGINE WILL SMOKE EXCESSIVELY IF
DIPSTICK IS NOT PUSHED DOWN UNTIL IT SNAPS IN
TO PLACE.
CHANGE ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL
1. When the tractor is new, the oil should be chang
ed after the first five hours of operation.
Thereafter under normal operating conditions the
oil should be changed every 25 hours of opera
tion. If extremely dusty or dirty conditions prevail,
change oil more frequently.
2. Drain crankcase by opening petcock or removing
the drain plug. Figure 24, while the engine is
warm. Allow the oil to run into a container.
NOTE: WITH THE ENGINE WARM, THE OIL WILL
FLOW MORE FREELY PERMITTING MORE CON
TAMINANTS TO BE DRAINED FROM THE
CRANKCASE.
3. Close petcock or replace the drain plug. Remove
dipstick and refill crankcase with the proper type
and viscosity of oil as shown in Tables 2 & 3.
Check oil on the dipstick to make sure that the
level is to the "FULL" mark. DO NOT OVERFILL.

BATTERY SET-UP
AND MAINTENANCE
A
WARNING: STORAGE BATTERIES GIVE OFF HIGHLY
INFLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS. DO NOT ALLOW
SPARKS OR FLAME NEAR BATTERY. DO NOT LAY
TOOLS ACROSS BATTERY TERMINALS WHICH MAY
CAUSE A SPARK RESULTING IN AN EXPLOSION.
CAUTION: ELECTROLYTE CONTAINS SULPHURIC
ACID WHICH IS HARMFUL TO SKIN, -EYES AND
CLOTHING. HANDLE WITH EXTREME CARE. IF
SPILLAGE OCCURS ON BODY OR CLOTHING, RINSE
AT ONCE WITH WATER.
WARNING: REVERSED BATTERY CABLES OR
REVERSED CABLES FROM A BATTERY CHARGER OR
BOOSTER BATTERY CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
PRODUCT. SPARKS AND POTENTIAL HAZARDS TO
OPERATOR COULD RESULT. MAKE CERTAIN THE
GROUND CABLE IS CONNECTED TO THE FRAME AND
THE POSITIVE CABLE IS CONNECTED TO THE
POSITIVE (+) TERMINAL.
6. Immediately after charging check level of elec''
trolyte. If the level is low add distilled water to
bring it up to required level. v
7. Replace vent caps. It is not necessary to tighten
more than finger tight.
8. Wash off the battery to remove electrolyte which
may have spilled.
PRODUCT
Yard Tractor
NOTE: CHARGING BATTERY AT A HIGHER RATE WILL
DAMAGE BATTERY.
MAINTENANCE
If you wish to have the best performance possible, it is
extremely important to do periodic checks.
1. Do an occasional visual inspection. See to it that
the battery remains clean' both the case and the
terminals. This visual inspection should be done
once a month.

TABLE 4
NOTE: THE HYDROMETER, PART NO. 531 140, OF
FERED THROUGH ARIENS IS RECOMMENDED FOR
ALL SET-UP AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES OF
ARIENS BATTERIES.
SET-UP
Battery is dry charged. Dealer or customer must add
electrolyte (sulfuric acid and water).
1. Remove battery from unit.
2. Remove all the vent caps from the battery and set
the caps to ope side.
3. Take the electrolyte which should be 1.265
Specific gravity at 80° F,* and fill each cell so that
the electrolyte is level with the bottom of the fill
ring.
4. The battery should stand for ’/2 hour. Now check
electrolyte level in each cell again. If necessary
add more electrolyte to bring the level up to the
bottom of the fill ring.
5. Charge until all cells are gassing freely, and the
specific gravity is constant over three successive
readings taken at 30 minute intervals. See Table 4
for charging rates.
2. Check the level of the electrolyte. It may be
necessary to add distilled water. This should be
checked before each usage.
3. Another important check is the specific gravity.
The specific gravity should be checked with the
Hydrometer*. The reading on the gauge should be
above 1.225. If the electrolyte is allowed to fall
below 1.225 specific gravity, you will have an in
sufficient charge. If this happens charge battery
until specific gravity of 1.265 is reached over 3
successive readings. This check should be done
monthly.
STORAGE
During the off season it is important to have the battery
in the same good condition or it will not deliver power
when needed.
1. Make sure the battery is fully charged and the
electrolyte is to the proper level.
2. Make sure the battery is clean (both the case and
the terminals.)
3. After cleaning the terminals you may want t,
spread petroleum jelly on the terminals to prevent
loss of charge.
4. Leave the cables disconnected.
36-
DEALER ASSEMBLY & PRE-SERVICE
5. It would be best to leave the battery remain in a
cool, dry area during the off season. This will slow
down the loss of charge during non-use periods.
6, Check your battery monthly during the off season
and if the battery has a low specific gravity apply
a charge to it.*
•NOTE: THE SPECIFIC GRAVITY SHOULD BE CHECK
ED IN EACH CELL AND SHOULD BE THE SAME FOR
ALL CELLS. A VARIATION IN A CELL READING COULD
BE AN INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. SUBTRACT .004
FROM 1.265 FOR EACH 10° F (5.5° C) BELOW 80° F
(26.7° C). ADD .004 TO 1.265 FOR EACH 10° F (5.5°
C) ABOVE 80° F (26.7 C).
