Ariens Company is changing the procedure for sourcing batteries in the field for AMP Rider and AMP
Snow-Thro models.
In the past, there were two part numbers for battery pack sets used on Amp products:
• 51600100 AMP Rider Battery Set – 5 Packs
• 51600300 AMP Sno-Thro Battery Set – 2 Packs
Going forward these Battery Sets will be replaced by two kits:
• 51600500 Battery Cover and Harness Kit for AMP Sno-Thro
• 51600600 Battery Cover and Harness Kit for AMP Rider
Each Battery Cover and Harness Kit consists of a cover, a harness and hardware to be used with locally
sourced batteries as replacements in AMP products. One 51600500 Kit (Sno-Thro) or 51600600 Kit
(Rider) and four locally sourced batteries will replace one pack used in the 51600100 or 51600300 Battery
Sets. Attached to this Service Letter are the instruction sheets for these Kits.
To replace a 51600100 Battery Set on an AMP Rider, use five 51600600 Kits and 20 locally sourced batter-
ies. To replace a 51600300 Battery Set on an AMP Sno-Thro, use two 51600500 Kits and 8 locally sourced
batteries.
Attached is a specification sheet on the battery that must be locally sourced. The GP12120 is available
from several manufacturers and all major distribution channels worldwide. It is important that only this bat-
tery be used in an AMP product. The attached battery specification sheet will be included with the instruc-
tion sheets for the 51600500 and 51600600 Kits.
AMP 916003 Sno-Thro units with serial number 75000 and above will already have the new style battery
configuration as standard equipment.
