IMPORTANT: When sharpening blades, be sure to grind the
same amount on each side. Unbalanced blades will cause
excessive vibration and could cause the spindles to wear
prematurely.
Check the blade balance by inserting a horizontal rod
through the center hole of the blade. The heavy side of the
blade will drop down. Sharpen the heavy side of the blade
until the blade is balanced, see figure 28.
After sharpening, install the blades back onto the mower
deck. Make sure the wings are facing up. Reinstall the blade
bolt and Iockwasher.

CLEANING
GRASS BUILDUP
FROM DECK
CAUTION: Before cleaning grass buildup, be
sure the engine has stopped and the key has
been removed.
Cleaning the underside of the deck regularly will help
maintain deck cutting efficiency. Clean the underside of the
deck as often as possible.
To gain access to the underside of the deck, depress the
deck lift foot pedal and lock it in the transport position. Move
the deck cut height adjustment to the highest setting. Raise
the front of the power unit and support it with jackstands.
Clean out any grass buildup from under the deck and
discharge shield. DO NOT use high pressure washers or
sprayers.
BELTS
Inspect the belt pulley grooves and flanges for wear. A new
belt, or one in good condition, should not contact the bottom
of the pulley groove. Replace the belt when the belt touches
the bottom of the groove otherwise the belt will slip
excessively.
Always use caution when changing a belt. Never pry a belt
on to a pulley.
Always keep oil and grease away from the belts and never
use belt dressings.
Belts should be checked regularly, and replaced at
approximately 200 hour intervals. Belts should also be
replaced any time the belt(s) show evidence of cracking,
missing pieces, friction burns from slipping, or other extreme
damage. Small cracks or fabric polishing are normal.
Small branches and other similar debris can get onto the top
of the deck, into the pulleys, which may cause the belt(s) to
break or come off the pulleys. Make sure the area to be
mowed is cleared of this debris, and make sure all belt
guards are in place, before mowing.
To guarantee long belt life, always use genuine Ariens belts.
Drive Belt Removal
and Installation
WARNING: Most service work requires the
engine to be shut OFR To prevent injury while
working on the mower, remove the ignition key
and disconnect the negative (-) cable from the
battery.
1. With the deck in the transport position, raise the floor
pan.
2. Loosen the two 3/8-16 nuts on the u-bolt tension arm
to relieve tension on the belt, and then remove the belt
from the idler pulley.
3. Install a new drive belt, making sure it is routed
according to the decal on the bottom of the floor pan,
see figure 29.
