Ariens 924121 1128 Manuale Utente

GB - 17

The scraper blade allows the back of the 
housing to keep better contact with the surface 
being cleared. It also prevents damage to the 
housing from normal wear.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow Scraper Blade to 
wear too far or Auger/Impeller housing will 
become damaged.

The runners control the distance between the 
scraper blade and the ground. Adjust runners 
equally to keep blade level with the ground. 
Refer to Pre-Start for recommended settings.

IMPORTANT: The fuel shut-off valve MUST be 
in the closed position prior to transporting the 
unit.
The fuel shut-off valve has two positions:

• Closed Position: Use this position to 

service, transport, or store the unit.

• Open Position: Use this position to run the 

unit.

1. ALWAYS place unit in open or well 

ventilated area.

2. Stop engine and allow to cool.
3. Clean Fuel Cap and surrounding area to 

prevent dirt from entering Fuel Tank. 

4. Remove Cap.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use gasohol or 
gasoline containing alcohol. See Engine 
Manual for correct type and grade of fuel.

5. Fill fuel tank to within 1/2 in. (1.2 cm) 

below bottom of filler neck with unleaded 
gasoline. 

NOTE: Tank capacity is 1 gallon (3.8 liters).

6. Replace Fuel Cap and tighten.
7. ALWAYS clean up any spilled fuel.

IMPORTANT: Before starting engine, check 
impeller to be sure it is not frozen.
To check impeller:

1. With key in “Stop” position, squeeze 

Attachment Clutch Lever to Engaged 
position. 

2. Pull Recoil Starter Handle. 

3. If Impeller is frozen, (cannot pull Starter 

Handle) move unit to a heated area and 
thaw to prevent possible damage.

Without the engine running, press down 
(engage) both clutch levers. Release 
attachment clutch lever. Attachment clutch 
should remain engaged until traction clutch 
lever is released, then both clutches must 
disengage.
If clutches do not engage or disengage 
properly, adjust or repair before operation (see 
Service and Adjustments).

ALWAYS engage differential lock (located in 
left wheel hub) for best traction when throwing 
snow.

Use the axle lock pin to lock or unlock the right 
wheel. Lock the right wheel to increase 
traction; unlock the right wheel to allow for 
easier turning of the unit.

Check and adjust Runners (see Service and 
Adjustments). Allow 1/8 in. (3 mm) between 
scraper blade and hard, smooth surface(s). 
Allow 1-1/4 in. (30 mm) between scraper blade 
and uneven or gravel surfaces.

Check and add fuel if required. Check that the 
engine crankcase oil is full using dipstick. 
Refer to Engine Manual for detailed 
instructions.
