caught in rotating parts of unit.
Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors are
explosive. Handle with care. Use an approved
(RED) fuel container.
NEVER allow smoking materials, sparks or flame
(match, pilot light, etc.) near equipment or fuel
container.
Check fuel supply before starting engine. Fill fuel
tank outdoors with extreme care; DO NOT fill fuel
tank indoors, when engine is running or while engine
is still hot from operation. Replace fuel cap securely
and wipe spilled fuel before starting engine.
DO NOT use unit on loose gravel that may be picked
up and thrown out discharge chute causing damage
or injury.
NEVER attempt to make any adjustments to unit
while engine is running (except where specifically
recommended).
Operation
DO NOT put hands or feet near rotating parts,
clear of discharge opening at all times.
Check function of all controls before starting engine.
Keep all safety devices and guards in position and
operating properly or personal injury may result.
Open doors if engine is run in garage, exhaust fumes
are dangerous. DO NOT run engine in an enclosed
area.
Operate equipment only when there is good visibility
and tight.
Always be sure of your footing (walk never run).
Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.
Disengage power to auger/impeller when unit is
being transported or is not in use.
Keep
DO NOT overload machine capacity by attempting to
clear snow at too fast a rate.
NEVER direct discharge of material toward
bystanders nor allow anyone in front of equipment
while unit is in operation. Be familiar with area of
operation.
Stay alert for holes, rocks, roots and hidden hazards
in area of operation.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or
crossing gravel drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for
hazards and traffic. DO NOT operate unit near glass
enclosures, automobiles, window wells, drop-offs,
etc., without proper adjustment of discharge direction
and angle.
DO NOT clear snow across face of slopes. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
DO NOT attempt to clear steep slopes.
Stop engine, remove key and wait for moving parts to
stop before leaving operator's position for any reason
such as; unclogging auger/impeller housing or
discharge chute, when making any repairs,
adjustments, inspections or cleaning unit.
DO NOT touch equipment parts which might be hot
from operation. Before attempting to maintain, adjust
or service allow such parts to cool.
If equipment vibrates abnormally, disengage
attachment, stop engine at once, and remove key.
Abnormal vibration is a warning of trouble. Repair
any damage before restarting unit.
After striking a foreign object, stop engine, remove
key and wait for moving parts to stop before leaving
operator's position. Thoroughly inspect unit for any
damage and repair damage before restarting and
operating unit.
Run unit a few minutes after throwing snow to
prevent freeze up of auger/impeller in housing.

Lubrication and Maintenance
Ariens Dealers will provide any service which may be

attempting any lubrication or
maintenance procedures.
CAUTION: DO NOT touch engine or
Sno-Thro drive parts which are hot from
operation. Allow such parts to cool
before servicing unit.
Every 100 operating hours or yearly (more often if
conditions require) remove cooling shrouds and clean
cooling fins. Also clean external surfaces of engine
of dust, dirt and oil deposits which can contribute to
improper cooling.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate engine with cooling

Remove two hair pins from bracket pin. Cap screw

NOTE: Make sure pulleys align. If-alignment is
necessary, loosen pin plate cap screw, align belts
and tighten cap screw.
Auger Gear Case
IMPORTANT: Too much lubricant may cause
excessive leakage. Too little lubricant will cause gear
and/or bearing darhage.
Gear cases are filled to the correct level at the
factory. Unless there is evidence of leakage, no
additional lubricant should be required. Check for
evidence of leakage every 25 hours of operation.
To insure adequate oil level, (2 oz. mininum), the
following checking procedure is recommended,
especially if there is evidence of leakage. Find a flat
level surface adjacent to a vertical surface (floor next
to wall or post etc). Make a mark on the vertical
surface with marker or tape 10.0 inches up from the
flat level surface. (One inch wide masking or
wrapping tape works especially well).
Remove the gear case oil fill plug. Wipe the inside
end clean with a soft cloth and replace finger tight.
Move the front of the sno thro near the vertical
surface and slowly raise the handlebars until the
mark is seen at the top of the auger/impeller housing.
Count to 100 while holding at the position to insure
that the lubricant has had time to seek a stable level.
Return the sno thro to its level operating position and
remove the gear case oil fill plug to determine if the
end previously wiped clean has been “wetted” by the
lubricant. If so, lubricant level is adequate. Replace
the fill plug.

When adding lubricant, add only Ariens special gear
lube L-2 (Part Number 000080). After adding
lubricant, you may want to check to insure the level is
not too high. To do this, repeat the above procedure
with the mark on the vertical surface one inch higher.
Allow plenty of time to drain at this position with the
fill plug removed. 5 inch high blocks inserted under
the wheels of all models serve well to hold them in a
“drain-to-maximum-level” position.
