Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for any signs of damage, wear, or bending. Replace damaged components immediately to maintain optimal performance.
- Replace Shear Pins: Always use the correct shear pins specified for your Ariens Gravely model. Keep a supply of extra shear pins on hand. Replacing broken shear pins promptly will protect the auger and gearbox.
