OPERATION Attachment Clutch – Right Hand Lever WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and understand the entire Safety section before proceeding. Squeeze Attachment Clutch Lever against handlebar (1) to engage attachment. Release both clutch levers (2) to disengage power and apply brake to attachment. 1 IMPORTANT: If the belt squeals when the attachment clutch lever is engaged, the impeller may be frozen in the auger housing.
Speed Selector 6 1 1 2 Snow Clean-Out Tool Position the Speed Selector in the appropriate speed notch to control forward and reverse travel. Forward: (6) Fastest (1) Slowest Reverse: (1) Slow (2) Fast IMPORTANT: DO NOT change motion from forward to reverse with clutch engaged. Forward speed can be changed without declutching. (Figure 11) WARNING: Hand contact with the rotating impeller is the most common cause of injury associated with snow throwers.
Drift Cutters (Figure 13) Drift cutters break up snow drifts that are taller than the auger housing and direct the snow into the auger. Store the drift cutters on the auger housing when not in use. Install them as shown below so they are taller than the snow to be cleared. Stored Position Figure 12 IMPORTANT: DO NOT force frozen chute controls. If frozen, take to warm place until controls are free. Operating Position Heated Handles 1 2 Turn the heated handles switch to the ON (1) position to activate.
IMPORTANT: Excessively oxygenated or reformulated fuels (fuels blended with alcohols or ethers) can damage the fuel system or cause performance problems. If any undesirable operating problems occur, use a gasoline with a lower percentage of alcohol or ether. Normal Add Fuel Stabilizer to Extend Fuel Storage Life IMPORTANT: Fuel stabilizer is recommended for extended storage (see Fuel System on page 34). Transport Add Fuel to Fuel Tank Deep Cutting Figure 14 FILLING FUEL TANK WARNING: AVOID INJURY.
PRE-START STARTING AND SHUT OFF 1. Frozen Impeller IMPORTANT: Before starting engine, check impeller to be sure it is not frozen. To check impeller: 1. With ignition key switch in “Stop” position, squeeze Attachment Clutch Lever to Engaged position. 2. Pull Recoil Starter Handle. 3. If Impeller is frozen, (cannot pull Starter Handle) move unit to a heated area and thaw to prevent possible damage. 2.
IMPORTANT: Use an extension cord that is capable of handling current requirements. See your Ariens dealer for recommended extension cord. 3. Turn discharge chute straight ahead. 4. Make sure that the attachment clutch and traction drive clutch levers are fully disengaged. 5. Push Primer Bulb 2 or 3 times for cold engine. NOTICE: When temperature is below -26° C additional priming may be needed. 6. If engine is cold, apply choke. See Engine Manual for detailed instructions.
MAINTENANCE Ariens Dealers will provide any service or adjustments which may be required to keep your unit operating at peak efficiency. Should engine service be required, contact an Ariens dealer or an authorized engine manufacturer's service center. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE The chart below shows the recommended maintenance schedule that should be performed on a regular basis. More frequent service may be required.
CHECK CLUTCH OPERATION Auger / impeller must stop within 5 seconds when attachment clutch lever is released. Wheels must stop quickly when traction drive clutch lever is released. If clutches do not engage or disengage properly, adjust or repair before operation. See Attachment Clutch/Brake Adjustment on page 28 and Traction Drive Clutch Adjustment on page 30.
GENERAL LUBRICATION Sno-Thro should be lubricated (Figure 17) at beginning of season or every 25 operating hours. (Figure 17) IMPORTANT: Wipe each fitting clean before and after lubrication. IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow grease or oil to get on friction disc, friction plate or belts. NOTICE: Apply Ariens Hi-Temp Grease or equivalent to the lubrication fittings. See SERVICE PARTS on page 34. Auger Shaft To grease auger shaft, remove shear bolt nuts and shear bolts per instructions in Shear Bolts on page 26.
Clean Battery (926513, 516) 4. Replace the cover plate and secure in position with the two screws removed in step 1. NOTICE: Make sure the wire harness does not get pinched between the cover plate and the auger housing. WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and understand the entire Safety section before proceeding. IMPORTANT: Battery is maintenance-free. Do not tamper with or attempt to open battery. See SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS on page 26 for charging procedures.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS SHEAR BOLTS 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.
HANDLEBAR HEIGHT REMOTE DEFLECTOR CONTROL (Figure 24) (Figure 25) Deflector must stay in selected position while throwing snow. If deflector does not stay in set position: 1. Tighten nut beneath control panel to increase pressure on deflector control. If deflector does not follow full range of travel: 1. Push deflector remote all the way forward. 2. Loosen adjusting nuts on cable support bracket underneath the dash panel (Figure 25). 3. To adjust the deflector lower: Slide cable down. Tighten bottom nut.
DISCHARGE CHUTE CONTROL d. Stop unit. e. Shift speed selector into first reverse speed. f. Engage the traction clutch. Unit should move backward. g. Shut off unit. 8. Adjust pivot pin on the shift rod as necessary so unit travels forward when speed selector is in first forward position and travels backward when speed selector is in first reverse position. 9. Connect the pivot pin to the speed selector arm with the hardware removed in step 1.
Check Attachment Idler Arm Roller Clearance 1 2 3 1. Attachment Clutch Cable 2. Adjustment Barrel 3. Jam Nut Figure 28 5. With the attachment clutch disengaged, check that the attachment idler arm lightly touches the frame (Figure 29). 6. Tighten jam nut on the adjustment barrel. (Figure 30) NOTICE: It will be difficult to check the measurement inside the frame. Use a 12,7 mm minimum spacer as a gauge to check the clearance between the roller and the frame. 1. Place the unit into the service position.
Check Attachment Brake (Figure 31) 1. With the clutch lever disengaged, brake pad must contact attachment belts. With clutch lever engaged, brake pad must be more than 1,6 mm from belts. If there is more than 1,6 mm gap, go to Check Belt Finger Clearance on page 30. If there is less than 1,6 mm gap, go to step 2. Check belt finger clearance here. With the attachment clutch engaged, there should be less than 3 mm clearance between the belts and the belt finger. The belt finger should not touch the belts.
ATTACHMENT DRIVE BELTS REPLACEMENT 2 (Figure 33) Remove Old Attachment Drive Belts 1. Shut off engine, remove key, disconnect spark plug wire and allow unit to cool completely. 2. Loosen hardware securing belt cover to unit (Figure 33). NOTICE: Do NOT completely remove the hardware from unit. 3. Remove belt cover. 4. Remove chute gear cover. 5. Remove hair pin from chute rod and slide the chute rod back towards control panel (Figure 6). IMPORTANT: Disconnect chute lock cable and deflector cable. 6.
TRACTION DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT FRICTION DISC REPLACEMENT (Figure 34) NOTICE: Replacement will be easier with housing and frame tipped apart and bottom cover off. 1. Remove attachment drive belts (see Remove Old Attachment Drive Belts on page 31). 2. To gain belt clearance, back out the stop bolt from the frame until the drive plate assembly can swing past it (Figure 34). 3 2 7 1 9 4 (Figure 35) 1. Place unit into service position. 2. Remove bottom cover by removing six hex bolts. 3.
