The blower gear case is lubricated with Ariens Liquid Grease
(Part
No.
000070).
This
grease
will
not
flow
at
lower
temperatures, it is therefore difficult to check the lubricant level.
Best method for checking is to place the unit in a warm location
overnight. This allows the grease to flow to level. Check the
lubrication by removing the filler plug on the side of the gear
case just above the left auger shaft. Lubrication should be even
with the hole with the machine sitting level, it may be necessary
to insert a wire into the hole to check level. The unit will not be
damaged by over lubricating.
NOTE:
OIL

Some models are equipped with zerk fittings on the rake shaft.
See Figure 11B. For those models that do not have zerk fittings,
oil rake shaft periodically or each time a shear bolt is replaced. At
the end of the season, remove shear bolts, oil rake shaft through
shear bolt holes, turn rakes on shaft several times and replace^
shear bolts. See Figure 11 A.
On models equipped with zerk fittings on the rake shaft it will be
necessary to re-grease the rake shaft zerk fittings provided each
time a shear bolt is replaced and/or at the end of the season. Be
sure to rotate the rakes on the shaft several times after applying
grease. See Figure 11B.
Oil the Discharge Chute with several drops of oil See Figure 12.
Rotate the Discharge Chute after applying oil to spread oil over
the Discharge Chute gear teeth to prevent rust and provide
smooth operation.
