need no routine lubrication. If the
transmission leaks grease, bring the mower
to your local Ariens dealer for repair.

hot from operation. ALWAYS
allow parts to cool.

freely around the cooling fins, cylinder head
and block.
Every 100 hours of operation or yearly (more
often if conditions require) remove blower
housing and clean cooling fins. See engine
manual for instructions.
CHECK MUFFLER
Check muffler for debris, cracks, wear, or
other damage.
CAUTION: Replace damaged
muffler immediately. Continued
use could result in fire or
explosion.
