CHECK ENGINE OIL
GENERAL LUBRICATION
The engine crankcase oil should be checked every 5
hours of operation. Oil level MUST be maintained in
safe operating range on dipstick at all times or engine
damage will result (See Engine Manual).
IMPORTANT: Wipe each fitting clean before and after
lubrication. Do not wipe gearcase filler plug; wiping the
gearcase filler plug may remove thread sealant and
cause leaks.
Park unit on a level surface. Refer to Engine Manual for
detailed instructions.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow grease or oil to get on
friction disc, friction plate or belts.
NOTE: Apply Stens Mix Hi-Temp Grease or equivalent
to the lubrication fittings. See SERVICE PARTS on
page 31.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL
Change oil after first 2 hours of operation, thereafter
change oil every 25 hours (more often if required).
Refer to Engine Manual for detailed instructions.
Sno-Thro should be lubricated (Figure 18) at beginning
of season or every 25 operating hours.
Run engine just prior to changing oil. Warm oil will flow
more freely and carry away more contamination.
Remove the oil drain plug from the rear of the unit and
tip the unit back to help drain all the oil.
Auger Shaft
NOTE: To grease auger shaft, remove shear bolt nuts,
and shear bolts. Turn auger on shaft while applying
grease at zerk fittings. Replace shear bolts per
instructions in SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS on
page 23.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
Keep tires at pressure listed on the tire sidewall.
CHECK AUGER GEARCASE
IMPORTANT: Proper oil level must be maintained.
CLEAN BATTERY (926500, 501)
Gear cases are filled to the correct level at the factory.
Unless there is evidence of leakage, no additional
lubricant should be required. Check oil level each
season or every 25 hours of operation.
WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and
understand the entire Safety section before
proceeding.
To ensure adequate lubricant level:
IMPORTANT: Battery is maintenance-free. Do not
tamper with or attempt to open battery. See SERVICE
AND ADJUSTMENTS on page 23 for charging
procedures.
1.
Remove filler plug (Figure 17). Lubricant must be
at least up to bottom of lubricant filler hole with
unit resting on a level-surface.
Terminals
Keep battery and its terminals clean.
2.
Add lubricant if required. Allow oil to drain to level
of plug and replace plug.
IMPORTANT: Remove battery from unit before
cleaning.
IMPORTANT: Use only Ariens special gear lubricant
L-2 (Part Number 00008000). Gearcase filler plug may
require an application of Loc-Tite® 565 thread sealant
with repeated servicing.
Remove corrosion from battery terminals and cable
connections with a wire brush, then wash with a weak
baking soda solution.
1
After cleaning, apply a thin coat of grease or petroleum
jelly to terminals and cable ends to retard corrosion.

ENGINE
Cooling
The engine is air cooled. Air must circulate freely
around engine from air intake to cooling fins on cylinder
head and block, to prevent overheating.
2
Each year (more often if conditions require) remove
cooling shrouds and clean cooling fins. Clean external
surfaces of engine of dust, dirt, and oil deposits which
can contribute to improper cooling. See Engine
Manual.
