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. Adjust skid shoes to fully raised position
(housing closest to ground).
3. Reposition scraper blade flush with skid
shoes and tighten lock nuts.
SKID SHOES
(Figure 26)
Skid Shoes should be adjusted as conditions
require.
1. Position unit on a hard, flat, smooth level
surface.
2. Adjust skid shoes by inserting a spacer
of desired thickness under center of
scraper blade, loosen skid shoe
hardware, slide skid shoes 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 hardware.
NOTE: Keep housing level by adjusting skid
shoes equally.
SHEAR BOLTS
(Figure 27)
IMPORTANT: Use only Ariens shear bolts for
replacement. Use of any other type of shear
bolt may result in severe damage to unit. See
SERVICE PARTS on page 36.
Occasionally a foreign object may enter the
auger/impeller housing and jam the auger,
breaking shear bolts which secure the auger
to the shaft. This allows auger to turn freely
on the shaft which may help prevent damage
to gear drive.
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).
REMOTE WHEEL LOCK
(921013, 020, 022)
(Figure 28)
If remote wheel lock does not lock or unlock:
1. Place unit in service position (see
Service Position on page 23).
2. Loosen jam nuts on cable. Make sure
the bottom jam nut is loosened enough
to remove slack from cable (Figure 28).
3. Pull the cable adjuster to remove slack
between the cable adjuster and the
extension spring and hold the cable
adjuster in position while finger
tightening the top jam nut against the
bracket. Do not extend the spring or
engage the mechanism.
4. Tighten the bottom jam nut.
