Preparation

Before first snowfall of the season clearly mark location of all obstacles (such as driveway markers,
water or gas shut off and etc.) so that they can be avoided when throwing snow.
Thoroughly inspect and clear work area of objects
which might be picked up and thrown. Remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, bones and other
foreign objects.
Wear adequate winter outer garments, gloves and
rubber footwear which will improve footing on slippery
surfaces.

Safety Precautions (Continued)
Wear eye protection such as safety goggles to protect eyes from objects that may be thrown from machine.
DO NOT wear loose clothing or scarves that may get 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.

Operation (Continued)
During snow removal, auger propels unit forward while collecting snow. The forward speed will vary according to snow depth and moisture content, and scraper blade adjustment.
Efficient unit operation depends on proper scraper
blade adjustment. Refer to Scraper Blade in Adjustment Section.
NOTE: When transporting, unit should be shut off.

CAUTION: Check clutch disengagement before each use. If auger/impeller does not stop quickly, when clutch bail is released, adjust or repair per Adjustment Section of this manual before operating unit.
To clear an area, run Sno-Thro in an overlapping
series of paths. For large areas start in middle and

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

Install new belts in reverse order.
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.

Adjustments

Ariens Company recommends that you have adjustments made by your Ariens dealer. He has tools and the know-how to properly perform
adjustments which may be required to keep your Sno-Thro operating at peak efficiency. Should you decide to make the following adjustments on your Sno-Thro yourself, Ariens Company recommends that you call your dealer for answers to any questions that might arise.

CAUTION: DO NOT use this machine on loose gravel. Gravel may be picked up and thrown from discharge chute resulting in damage to nearby property and/or injury to bystanders.
To adjust scraper blade, tip unit back and rest unit on handlebar. Loosen nuts on carriage bolts along scraper support. If unit does not scrape cleanly,
move scraper blade forward. If unit does not drive
forward and scraper blade drags, move scraper blade to the rear.
