ing auger/impeller housing to frame. Tip unit

auger/impeller housing from frame.
Place attachment drive belt on tiller pulley.
With cap screws removed from Sno-Thro,

9.5 Tiller Lubrication
A
CAUTION: DO NOT touch engine or tiller
drive parts which are hot from operation.
Check oil level every ten to fifteen hours of
operation or daily during hard use. Oil level
must be up to bottom of oil fill hole with tiller
level.
Drain and refill gear case seasonally. Use
Ariens L-2 Special Gear Lubricant (approx­
imately 4 ounces). To drain, remove attach­
ment from tractor, remove oil filler plug and tip
attachment forward.
1. Cap Screw
2. Oil Filler Plug
Figure 9-3: Tiller Lubrication
After draining, level tiller, fill gear case with oil,
and replace oil filler plug.
i
Once each season, remove cap screw from top
of gear case and apply a few drops of Ariens
Special Gear Lubricant through hole (this
lubricates drive shaft and rear bushing) and
replace cap screw. DO NOT over lubricate. Too
much oil on shaft will result in oil leaking out
of breather hole on side of gear case, which
may clog breather.
9.6 Tine Adjustment
Wheel width of Sno-Thro tractor is fixed,
therefore most tilling will be done with tines
set for maximum tilling width (20”). For
cultivating and working between bushes and
plants, tilling width of tines is adjustable from
7 to 20 inches in four stages.
i
Figure 9-4: Tine Adjustment
For maximum tilling width (20”) outer tines
face outward. For next widest tilling width,
outer tines are interchanged and tips face in­
ward. Remove outer tines for next to narrowest
tilling width, and for narrowest tilling width
(7”), remove outer tines and face inner tines in­
ward.
