He has the tools and knowhow to properly perform these maintenance adjustments which may be required to keep the Sno-Thro operating at peak efficiency. The Sno-Thro is equipped with the finest quality engine obtainable.

Should you decide to make adjustments on your Sno-Thro yourself, Ariens recommends that you call your dealer for the answers to any questions that might arise in performing this work. SHEAR BOLT REPLACEMENT Occasionally a small object may enter the collector and jam the rakes. When this occurs, the shear bolts securing the rakes to the shaft will break and allow the rake to turn freely on the shaft preventing damage to the gear drive. When this happens, turn off the engine, remove wire from spark plug, remove the broken shear bolt and replace with a new ARIENS shear bolt. Use of any other type of shear bolt may result in severe damage to the machine. USE ONLY ARIENS SHEAR BOLTS FOR REPLACEMENT. Each time a shear bolt is replaced (and once each year) the rake should be rotated on the shaft and the shaft oiled. Oil shaft through shear bolt holes. The runners (14) on each, side of the blower housing are all adjustable to suit conditions. Raising or lowering the runners controls the distance the scraper is held above the surface being cleared. Runners are adjusted by loosening the two nuts securing each runner. Move the runner to the desired position and retighten the nuts. Be sure to adjust both runners to the same height to keep blower housing level. Uneven runners make the machine difficult to steer and will result in an uneven clearing job. Adjustment of the runners is critical to good cleaning. If the machine is to be used on a gravel surface; lower the...
