CHANGE ENGINE OIL
Refer to engine manual.
CHECK AUGER GEARCASE OIL
1. Place unit on flat, level surface.
2. Remove oil fill plug and seal washer. See
Figure 16.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT remove gearcase
cover.
3. Check oil level with suitable measuring
device, such as a clean screwdriver, and
add oil if needed. Oil level must be
6.1 cm – 6.7 cm (2.4" – 2.6") from the flat
surface of the gearcase cover.
IMPORTANT: Ariens recommends using only
Ariens L3 synthetic severe duty gear lube
(see Service Parts on page 14). Using other
lubricants will not automatically void unit
warranty, but the warranty will not cover
damage caused by using unauthorized
lubricants.
4. Inspect seal washer for wear or rubber
deterioration and replace if needed.
5. Reinstall seal washer (rubber side down)
and oil fill plug. Torque to 9 N•m
(80 lb-in).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT over torque.
Measurements are given in pound force
inches (lb-in) and not pound force foot (lb-ft).
Incorrect torquing and failure to install or
correctly torque seal washer may void
gearcase warranty.
LUBRICATE UNIT
Ariens recommends using Ariens Hi-Temp
Grease or equivalent (see Service Parts) to
lubricate fittings. Lubricate each season or
every 25 hours of operation.
IMPORTANT: Wipe each fitting clean before
and after lubrication.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow grease or oil to
contact friction disc, friction plate or belts.
