WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read
and understand the entire Safety
section before proceeding.
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
Skid Shoes should be adjusted as conditions
require (Figure 17).
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 3 mm between scraper
blade and hard smooth surfaces. Allow
30 mm between scraper blade and
uneven or gravel surfaces. Retighten
hardware.
NOTE: Keep housing level by adjusting skid
shoes equally.

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. See
SERVICE PARTS on page 32.
Occasionally a foreign object may enter the
auger/impeller housing and jam the auger,
breaking shear bolts (Figure 18) 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.

increase pressure on deflector control
(Figure 19).
If deflector does not follow full range of travel:
1. Push deflector remote all the way
forward.
