Install the new belt on the engine sheave and traction sheave. Then reposition the idler back into position on the outside of the traction drive belt. With the belts in position and the idler in place, check the belt alignment. The engine sheave and the tractor sheave must align with one another. If the sheaves are not properly aligned, loosen the setscrews on the engine sheave and align the sheaves. Retighten the setscrews. ADJUSTMENTS/ MAINTENANCE REPLACEMENT OF THE BLOWER DRIVE BELT — FIGURES 8 & 9 A CAUTION: SINCE REPLACING THE BELTS WILL INVOLVE TURNING THE ENGINE OVER WITH THE STARTER, AND THE ENGINE MIGHT ACCIDENTALLY START RESULTING IN INJURY, THE SPARK PLUG WIRE MUST BE DISCONNECTED DURING THIS PROCEDURE. The blower drive belt is on the sheave on the blower housing. Remove and install the new belt on the sheave. Hold it in position on the sheave as the blower is tipped into position on the tractor. Be sure the brake shoe seats on the belt as the units are tipped together. Once assembled, roll the blower drive belt on to the engine sheave and position the idler on the outside ot the belt. Align blower engine sheave and blower sheave (on blower housing) with attachment idler. If sheaves are not properly aligned, loosen setscrews on the blower engine sheave and blower sheave (on blower housing) and align with attachment idler. Retighten setscrews. Readjust Attachment Clutch per instructions on page 6. STORAGE A WARNING: NEVER STORE PRODUCT IN AN ENCLOSED AREA WHERE FUEL FUMES MAY REACH AN OPEN FLAME, SPARK, OR PILOT OF FURNACE, ETC. DRAIN FUEL OUTDOORS, AWAY FROM OPEN FLAME, AND USE ONLY AN APPROVED FUEL CONTAINER. ENGINE Refer to Engine Manufacturer's Instructions supplied with the product. REPLACEMENT OF BLOWER HOUSING t- FIGURES 8 & 9 A CAUTION: SINCE REPLACING THE BELTS WILL INVOLVE TURNING THE ENGINE OVER WITH THE STARTER, AND THE ENGINE MIGHT ACCIDENTALLY START RESULTING IN INJURY, THE SPARK PLUG WIRE MUST BE DISCONNECTED DURING THIS PROCEDURE. 1. Tip the blower and tractor together. Hold the blower drive belt up as the units are tipped together. Be sure the blower brake shoe seats on the blower sheave. Secure with the two cap screws into the frame. 2. Roll the blower belt on to the engine sheave. Pull the recoil starter rope to turn the engine sheave and roll the belt into place under the belt finger. 3. Check the belt finger spacing. There should be 1/8 inch clearance between the belt finger and belt with the attachment clutch engaged. Readjust the belt finger if required. 4. Check the sheave alignment with the blower belt in place. Readjust as required to align the sheaves. It may be necessary to tip the blower housing away from the tractor to gain access to the blower sheave. Replace blower housing by reversing the instructions found in “BELT REPLACEMENT — GENERAL” section on page 8. 5. Replace the belt guard and chute crank assemblies. Readjust the chute crank as described in “CHUTE CRANK ADJUSTMENT” section. Replace the spark plug wire. GENERAL Store Sno-Thro in a cool, dry place. Inspect Sno-Thro for visible signs of wear, breakage or damage. Order any parts required and make necessary repairs to avoid delays when beginning use again. Lubricate Sno-Thro as described in “LUBRICATION” section of this manual. Clean the Sno-Thro thoroughly. Touch up all unpainted and exposed areas with paint to avoid rust. -9- LUBRICATION ENGINE Fill Crankcase with oil as recommended in Engine Manufacturer’s Instructions supplied with the product. Check oil level before each use and change oil regularly according to Engine Manufacturer’s Instructions. SNO-THRO TRACTION DRIVE - FIGURE 10 At the start of each operating season, grease the hex shaft as indicated in Figure 10. Put a few drops of oil on the Speed Selector linkage and other linkage points. Lubricate the bushings on the axle as indicated in Figure 10. NOTE: BEFORE LUBRICATING THE BUSHINGS ON AXLE (BETWEEN THE WHEEL AND FRAME) BE SURE TO CLEAN THE INNER SURFACES OF THE BUSHINGS. REMOVE THE CAP SCREW (1) AND LOCKNUT (2). REMOVE WHEEL (3) FROM AXLE. CLEAN INSIDE OF BUSHING (4) AND ADD OIL TO INNER BUSHING SURFACE. REPLACE WHEEL. FIGURE 10 SNO-THRO UNIT - FIGURES 11 & 12 The blower gear case is lubricated with Ariens Liquid Grease (Part No. 000070). This grease will not flow at lower temperatures. It is therefore difficult to check the lubricant level. Best method for checking is to place the unit in a warm location overnight. This allows the grease to flow to level. Check the lubrication by removing the filler plug on the side of the gear case just above the left auger shaft. Lubrication should be even with the hole with the machine sitting level. It may be necessary to insert a wire into the hole to check level. The unit will not be damaged by over lubricating. NOTE: OIL CAN (PUMP-TYPE) MAY BE USED TO LUBRICATE WITH ARIENS LIQUID GREASE. Some models are equipped with zerk fittings on the rake shaft. See Figure 11...
