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.
TRAVELING
To travel from one work area to another:
1. Set Throttle to Slow or Part-Throttle position.
2. Press down on handlebars enough to raise front 
of unit slightly off surface.
3. Disengage traction drive clutch and push unit to 
new work area.
TRANSPORT
ALWAYS shut off engine, remove key, and drain fuel 
when transporting unit on a truck or trailer.
Use extra care when loading or unloading unit onto 
trailer or truck.
Secure unit chassis to transport vehicle. NEVER 
secure from rods or linkages that could be damaged.
DO NOT transport machine while engine is running.
Ariens Dealers will provide any service or adjustments

contact an Ariens dealer or an authorized engine 
manufacturer's service center.
