WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and understand the entire Safety section before proceeding.

SCRAPER BLADE

IMPORTANT: Damage to auger/impeller

housing will result if blade wears down too far.

Scraper blade is adjustable to compensate for wear.

To adjust scraper blade:

1. Tip unit back onto handlebar, support housing and loosen nuts retaining blade.

2. Reposition scraper blade and tighten lock nuts.

3. Adjust skid shoes.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS adjust skid shoes after adjusting scraper blade to prevent premature wear to scraper blade or damage to housing.

SKID SHOES

(Figure 19) Skid Shoes should be adjusted as conditions

require.

1. Position unit on a hard, flat, smooth level surface.

2. Adjust skid shoes by inserting a spacer of desired thickness under center of scraper blade, loosen skid shoe hardware, slide skid shoes to flat surface. Allow 3 mm between scraper blade and hard smooth surfaces. Allow 22 mm between scraper blade and uneven or gravel surfaces. Retighten hardware.

NOTE: Keep housing level by adjusting skid shoes equally.

SHEAR BOLTS

(Figure 20) IMPORTANT: Use only Ariens OEM shear

bolts for replacement. Use of any other type of shear bolt may result in severe damage to unit. See SERVICE PARTS on page 34.

Occasionally a foreign object may enter the auger/impeller housing and jam the auger, breaking shear bolts which secure the auger to the shaft. This allows auger to turn freely on the shaft which may help prevent damage to gear case.

For Replacement:

1. Align shear bolt holes in auger with shear bolt holes in the shaft.

2. Drive shear bolt through hole (if shear bolt was broken this will drive remaining part from shaft).

3. Secure shear bolt with nut.

NOTE: DO NOT overtighten the shear bolt. Tighten shear bolt to 7,9 – 16,5 N•m.

FUEL SYSTEM

Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate, resulting in gum deposits in the system. These deposits can damage the carburetor and the fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent deposits from forming in the fuel system during storage by adding a quality fuel stabilizer to the fuel. Follow the recommended mix ratio found on the fuel stabilizer container.

IMPORTANT: NEVER store the engine with fuel in the fuel tank inside of a building with potential sources of ignition.

Add Fuel Stabilizer

1. Turn the fuel valve off while engine is running and allow the engine to run until it stops. Turn engine OFF when it begins surging to avoid engine damage.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from region to region.
