Introduction
How To Use Your Service Manual
This Ariens Service manual is arranged for quick,
easy reference and is divided into numbered sec­
tions. Each section is then divided into sub-sections.
To use this manual proceed as follows:
Refer to the Index to determine section within
which desired information will be contained and
proceed to front of that section for its Table of
Contents.
Locate subject desired. Page number is listed across
from subject and consists of section number and
page number.
NOTE: Read all information for servicing a part or
system before repair work is started to avoid need­
less disassembly.
Preparation For Service
Proper preparation is very important for efficient
service work. A clean work area at the start of each
job will allow you to perform the repair as easily
and quickly as possible, and reduce incidences of
misplaced tools and parts. A unit that is excessively
dirty should be cleaned before work starts. Cleaning
will occasionally uncover trouble sources. Tools,
instruments and parts needed for the job should be
gathered before work is started. Interrupting a job
to locate tools or parts is a needless delay. Special
tools required for a job are listed at the end of this
Introduction.

mentary information. Service Bulletins should be

genuine Ariens parts. Failure to do so may result

tor and/or bystander.
