Maintenance - Ariens 939001 ST520E Owner's/Operator's Manual

Tips for Operation
Snow is best removed as soon as possible after snow
fall.
To clear an area, run unit in an overlapping series of
paths. For large areas, start in the middle and throw
snow to each side, so snow is not cleared more than
once.
ALWAYS direct snow away from area to be cleared and
with direction of the wind.
Ariens Dealers will provide any service or adjustments
which may be required to keep your unit operating at
peak efficiency. Should engine service be required,
contact an Ariens dealer or an authorized engine
manufacturer's service center.
WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and
understand the entire Safety section before
proceeding.
