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 flush 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 20) which secure the auger to the shaft.
This allows auger to turn freely on the shaft preventing damage to gear drive.
