GENERAL LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: Wipe each fitting clean before
and after lubrication. Do not wipe gearcase
filler plug; wiping the gearcase filler plug may
remove thread sealant and cause leaks.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow grease or oil to
get on friction disc, friction plate or belts.
NOTE: Apply Ariens Hi-Temp Grease or
equivalent to the lubrication fittings. See
SERVICE PARTS on page 35.
Sno-Thro should be lubricated (Figure 23) at
beginning of season or every 25 operating
hours.

housing will result if blade wears down too
far.

housing and loosen nuts retaining blade.
2. Adjust runners to fully raised position
(housing closest to ground).
3. Reposition scraper blade flush with
runners and tighten lock nuts.

Runners should be adjusted as conditions
require (Figure 24).
1. Position unit on a hard, flat, smooth level
surface.
2. Adjust runners by inserting a spacer of
desired thickness under center of
scraper blade, loosen runner hardware,
slide runners to flat surface. Allow 1/8 in.
(3 mm) between scraper blade and hard
smooth surfaces. Allow 1-1/4 in.
(30 mm) between scraper blade and
uneven or gravel surfaces. Retighten
