DISCHARGE CHUTE
If chute does not stay in position while operating, tighten nut on carriage bolt at pivot point to increase tension on spring (Figure 10). Smooth and easy rotation of properly lubricated chute with crank is obtained by adjusting pinion and chute gear teeth so they mesh together.
GB - 20
SCRAPER BLADE
IMPORTANT: Damage to auger/impeller housing will result if blade wears down too far. Scraper blade is adjustable to compensate for wear. To adjust scraper blade: 1. Tip unit back onto handlebar, support housing and loosen nuts retaining blade. 2. Adjust runners to fully raised position (housing closest to ground). 3. Reposition scraper blade ush with runners and tighten lock nuts.
SHEAR BOLTS
IMPORTANT: Use only Ariens shear bolts for replacement. Use of any other type of shear bolt may result in severe damage to unit. Occasionally a foreign object may enter the auger/impeller housing and jam the auger, breaking shear bolts (Figure 12) which secure the auger to the shaft. This allows auger to turn freely on the shaft preventing damage to gear drive.
RUNNERS
Runners should be adjusted (Figure 11) as conditions require. 1. Position unit on a hard, at, smooth level surface. 2. Adjust runners by inserting a spacer of desired thickness under center of scraper blade, loosen runner hardware, slide runners to at surface. Allow 1/8 in (3 mm) between scraper blade and hard smooth surfaces. Allow 1-1/4 in (30 mm) between scraper blade and uneven or gravel surfaces. Retighten hardware. NOTE: Keep housing level by adjusting runners equally.
For Replacement:
1. Slide auger outward against roll pin and align hole in shaft with hole in auger (holes in shaft for roll pins and shear bolts line up). 2. Drive shear bolt through hole (if shear bolt was broken this will drive remaining part from shaft). 3. Secure shear bolt with nut.

To align, move engine sheave: a.Loosen set screws. b. Slide sheave and key to desired position. c.Tighten set screws. 3. Adjust cable slack. IMPORTANT: The clutch cable must be slack when lever is disengaged. a.With the clutch lever disengaged, loosen control cable mounting nuts (Figure 18). b. Pull up on cable body to remove cable slack. c.Finger tighten mounting nuts, and then loosen the top nut two turns. d.Tighten the bottom nut with a wrench. 4. Check attachment clutch lever measurement. a.Start engine and run at full throttle. b. Slowly squeeze the attachment clutch lever until auger shaft begins to rotate. c.Measure the distance from the end of the clutch lever to the hand grip as shown in Figure 17. The distance between the clutch lever and the hand grip should be 41/2 1/8 in (11.43 3 mm). d.Shut off engine. 5. Adjust attachment clutch lever measurement, if necessary. NOTE: 1/16 in (1.6 mm) idler movement will change clutch lever measurement about 1/4 in (6 mm). a.Loosen idler nut (Figure 15). b. To increase distance between clutch lever and hand grip, move the idler towards the attachment belt. c.To decrease the distance between the clutch lever and hand grip, move the idler away from the attachment belt. d.Tighten idler adjustment nut. e. Check clutch lever measurement. 6. Check Brake When the clutch lever is disengaged, the brake must contact the attachment belt. When the clutch lever is engaged, the brake must be more than 1/16 in (1.6 mm) away from the belt (Figure 16). 7. Repeat steps 46 until attachment clutch distance and brake contact are correct. IMPORTANT: If attachment clutch/brake cannot be adjusted within tolerances, see your Dealer for repairs.
