If clutches do not engage or disengage properly, adjust or repair before operation
(see Attachment Clutch/Brake Adjustment on page 19 or Traction Drive Clutch Adjustment on page 21).
GB - 16
CHECK CLUTCH SPRING
ADJUSTMENT
Make sure the attachment clutch and traction drive clutch are adjusted to the range specified in Attachment Clutch/Brake
Adjustment on page 19 or Traction Drive
Clutch Adjustment on page 21.
CLEAN ENGINE
Refer to engine manual for detailed instructions.
CHECK ENGINE OIL
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).
Park unit on a level surface. Refer to engine manual for detailed instructions.
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.
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 side of the unit and tip the unit to help drain all the oil.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
Keep tires at pressure listed on the tire
sidewall. See Check Tire Pressure on page 10.
CHECK AUGER GEARCASE
IMPORTANT: Proper oil level must be maintained.
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 11). Lubricant
must be at least up to bottom of lubricant filler hole with unit resting on a levelsurface.
2. Add lubricant if required. Allow oil to drain to level of plug and replace plug.
IMPORTANT: Use only Ariens L-3 synthetic severe-duty gear lube (Part Number
00068800).
NOTE: Gearcase filler plug may require an application of Loc-Tite® 565 thread sealant with repeated servicing. If Loc-Tite® 565 is not available, use PTFE pipe sealing tape on the filler plug.

SHEAR BOLTS
IMPORTANT: Use only Ariens shear bolts for replacement. Use of any other type of shear bolt may result in severe damage to unit.
Occasionally a foreign object may enter the auger/impeller housing and jam the auger, breaking shear bolts which secure the auger
to the shaft (Figure 15). This allows auger to
turn freely on the shaft which may help prevent damage to gear case and its components.
For Replacement:
1. Align shear bolt holes in auger with shear bolt holes in the shaft.
2. Drive shear bolt through hole (if shear bolt was broken this will drive remaining part from shaft).
3. Secure shear bolt with nut.
NOTE: DO NOT overtighten the shear bolt.
Tighten shear bolt to 5.8 – 12.2 lbf-ft
(7.9 – 16.5 N•m).
