Oil level MUST bemaintained in safe operating range on dipstickat all times or engine damage will result (SeeEngine Manual).Park unit on a level surface. Refer to EngineManual for detailed instructions.CHANGE ENGINE OILChange oil after first 2 hours of operation,thereafter change oil every 25 hours (moreoften if required). Refer to Engine Manual fordetailed instructions.Run engine just prior to changing oil. Warm oilwill flow more freely and carry away morecontamination.CHECK TIRE PRESSUREKeep tires at pressure listed on the tiresidewall.CHECK AUGER GEARCASEIMPORTANT: Proper oil level must bemaintained.Gear cases are filled to the correct level at thefactory. Unless there is evidence of leakage,no additional lubricant should be required.Check oil level each season or every 25 hoursof operation.To ensure adequate lubricant level:1. Remove filler plug (Figure 10). Lubricantmust be at least up to bottom of lubricantfiller hole with unit resting on alevel-surface.2. Add lubricant if required. Allow oil to drainto level of plug and replace plug.IMPORTANT: Use only Ariens special gearlubricant L-2 (Part Number 00008000).CHECK CLUTCHESAuger / impeller must stop within 5 secondswhen attachment clutch/impeller brake lever isreleased.Wheels must stop quickly when traction driveclutch lever is released.If clutches do not engage or disengageproperly, adjust or repair before operation (seeService and Adjustments).GB - 20

DISCHARGE CHUTE DEFLECTOR(924118, 551)Deflector must stay in selected position whilethrowing snow.To adjust, loosen then retighten hardware todesired deflector drag force (Figure 12).SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTSWARNING: AVOID INJURY. Readand understand the entire Safetysection before proceeding.Adjusting HardwareDischarge ChuteDeflectorIf deflector does not follow full range of travel:1. Push deflector remote all the wayforward.2. Loosen adjusting nuts on cable supportbracket.3. To adjust the deflector lower:Slide cable down. Tighten bottom nut.4. To adjust deflector higher:Slide cable up. Tighten top nut.5. Check travel and repeat adjustment asnecessary.DISCHARGE CHUTEIf chute does not stay in position whileoperating, tighten nut on carriage bolt at pivotpoint to increase tension on spring (Figure 14).Smooth and easy rotation of properlylubricated chute with crank is obtained byadjusting pinion and chute gear teeth so theymesh together.Figure 12OS0113DEFLECTOR REMOTE (924121,122, 332, 505, 506, 508)Deflector must stay in selected position whilethrowing snow.If deflector does not stay in set position:1.

Adjust runners by inserting a spacer ofdesired thickness under center of scraperblade, loosen runner hardware, sliderunners to flat surface. Allow 1/8 in.(3 mm) between scraper blade and hardsmooth surfaces. Allow 1-1/4 in. (30 mm)between scraper blade and uneven orgravel surfaces. Retighten hardware.GB - 22

NOTE: Keep housing level by adjustingrunners equally.3211. Runner2. Runner HardwareFigure 15SCRAPER BLADEIMPORTANT: Damage to auger/impellerhousing will result if blade wears down too far.Scraper blade is adjustable to compensate forwear.To adjust scraper blade:1. Tip unit back onto handlebar, supporthousing and loosen nuts retaining blade.2. Adjust runners to fully raised position(housing closest to ground).3. Reposition scraper blade flush withrunners and tighten lock nuts.SHEAR BOLTSIMPORTANT: Use only Ariens shear bolts forreplacement. Use of any other type of shearbolt may result in severe damage to unit.Occasionally a foreign object may enter theauger/impeller housing and jam the auger,breaking shear bolts (Figure 16) which securethe auger to the shaft. This allows auger toturn freely on the shaft preventing damage togear drive.For Replacement:1. Slide auger outward against roll pin andalign hole in shaft with hole in auger(holes in shaft for roll pins and shear boltsline up).2. Drive shear bolt through hole (if shear boltwas broken this will drive remaining partfrom shaft).3. Secure shear bolt with nut.121. Auger2. Shear Bolts3.
