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 the
belts.
NOTE: Apply Ariens Hi-Temp Grease or equivalent to
the lubrication fittings. See SERVICE PARTS on
page 22.
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 10) 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. Apply grease at the grease zerks and
then turn the auger shaft. Replace shear bolts per
instructions in Shear Bolts on page 17.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
Keep tires at pressure listed on the tire sidewall.
CHECK AUGER GEARCASE
IMPORTANT: Proper oil level must be maintained.
Grease Oil
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.
To ensure adequate lubricant level:
1.
Remove filler plug (Figure 9). Lubricant must be
at least up to bottom of lubricant filler hole with
unit resting on a level-surface.
2.
Add lubricant if required. Allow oil to drain to level
of plug and replace plug.
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.
