when the PTO lever is released, the blade  
brake is faulty. Contact a Gravely Dealer  
immediately for repair.  
CHECK WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL  
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE  
The unit must stop quickly and completely  
when the drive controls are released. Adjust  
or repair if necessary. See Forward/Reverse

loads, high ambient temperatures, dusty  
conditions, or airborne debris) may require  
more frequent service.  
See engine manual for further maintenance  
and troubleshooting information.

a horizontal position. If either end of  
mower blade moves downward, sharpen  
the heavy end until blade is balanced  
(Figure 11).  
CAUTION: DO NOT sharpen  
mower blades while on unit. An  
imbalanced mower blade will  
cause excessive vibration and  
eventual damage to unit. Check  
mower blade balance before  
reinstalling blades.  
NEVER weld or straighten bent  
blades.

CHECK DRIVE BELTS  
CHECK SPARK PLUG  
Check drive belts and replace if worn or  
damaged. See Wheel Drive Belts on page 20.  
Spark plug should be replaced every 100  
hours of operation or each year.  
NOTE: Loose spark plug wire terminals can  
cause sparking. Replace terminal if  
damaged.  
CHECK FASTENERS  
Check all fasteners for proper tightness. Pay  
special attention to blade hardware and all  
guards, shields and safety devices.  
CHECK ENGINE COOLING  
CHECK AIR CLEANER  
See engine manual for specific information.  
WARNING: HOT SURFACES can  
cause death or serious injury. DO  
NOT TOUCH parts which are hot  
from operation. ALWAYS allow  
parts to cool.  
CHANGE ENGINE OIL  
IMPORTANT: Change engine crankcase oil  
after first five (5) hours of operation. Then  
change oil after every 25 hours of operation.  
To prevent overheating, air must circulate  
freely around the cooling fins, cylinder head  
and block.  
Refer to engine manual for instructions and  
proper oil type.  
Every 100 hours of operation or yearly (more  
often if conditions require) remove blower  
housing and clean cooling fins. See engine  
manual for instructions.  
IMPORTANT: Proper oil level must be  
maintained at all times or engine damage will  
result. DO NOT overfill. Be sure engine is  
level when adding oil.  
GENERAL LUBRICATION  
CHECK MUFFLER  
Check muffler for debris, cracks, wear, or  
other damage.  
The unit has sealed maintenance-free  
spindles and transmission. The unit should  
not require lubrication except for light oil or  
grease at pivot points.  
CAUTION: Replace worn-out  
mufflers immediately. Continued  
use could result in fire or  
explosion.

STORAGE  
Engine  
CAUTION: AVOID INJURY. Read  
and understand the entire Safety  
section before proceeding.  
When storing unit for extended periods of  
time, remove all fuel from tank and carburetor  
(run dry). Refer to engine manual.  
Fuel System  
IMPORTANT: NEVER spray unit with high-  
pressure water or store unit outdoors. Store  
mower in a cool, dry, protected location.  
Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended  
periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate,  
resulting in gum deposits in the system.  
These deposits can damage the carburetor  
and the fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent  
deposits from forming in the fuel system  
during storage by adding a quality fuel  
stabilizer to the fuel. Follow the  
Cleaning  
NOTE: Allow unit to cool before cleaning.  
Clean unit thoroughly with mild soap and low  
pressure water. Brush off dirt and debris from  
all surfaces. Touch up all scratched surfaces  
to prevent rust. Matching touch-up paint is  
available from your Gravely Dealer. Do not  
use abrasives, solvents, or harsh cleaners.  
recommended mix ratio found on the fuel  
stabilizer container.  
To treat the fuel system for storage:  
Inspection  
1. Add fuel stabilizer according to  
manufacturer’s instructions.  
2. Run engine for at least 10 minutes after  
adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the  
carburetor.  
NEVER store the engine with fuel in the fuel  
tank inside of a building with potential  
sources of ignition.  
Inspect mower and repair or replace worn or  
damaged parts to avoid delays when  
beginning use again.  
Regularly check all hardware and keep  
fasteners tight. Know unit is in safe working  
condition.  
Grass Bag  
Wash out grass bag and allow to dry before  
storage. Grass bag may be stored in position  
on mower.

the battery packs on AMP series products.

Engines and engine accessories are covered only by the engine manufacturer’s warranty and are not

Disclaimer  
Ariens may from time to time change the design of its products. Nothing contained in this warranty shall be  
construed as obligating Ariens to incorporate such design changes into previously manufactured products,  
nor shall such changes be construed as an admission that previous designs were defective.  
LIMITATION OF REMEDY AND DAMAGES  
Ariens Company’s liability under this warranty, and under any implied warranty that may exist, is limited to  
repair of any defect in workmanship, and repair or replacement of any defective part. Ariens shall not be  
liable for incidental, special, or consequential damages (including lost profits). Some states do not allow the  
exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.  
DISCLAIMER OF FURTHER WARRANTY  
Ariens Company makes no warranty, express or implied, other than what is expressly made in this  
warranty. If the law of your state provides that an implied warranty of merchantability, or an implied  
warranty of fitness for particular purpose, or any other implied warranty, applies to Ariens Company,  
then any such implied warranty is limited to the duration of this warranty. Some states do not allow  
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.  
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which  
vary from state to state.
