Ariens 935 Series 935005 Parts Manual

To change the oil, first ensure the engine is off and cool. Locate the oil drain valve, place a container under it, and open the valve to drain the old oil. Replace the oil filter and close the valve. Finally, refill with the recommended oil type and check the level with the dipstick.
Check the battery connections and ensure they are tight and free of corrosion. Verify that there is enough fuel and that the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for damage or wear, and replace if necessary. Also, ensure the safety switches are properly engaged.
Blades should be sharpened after approximately 25 hours of use, or more frequently if you notice uneven cutting or missed grass. Regular sharpening helps maintain efficient cutting and extends the life of the blades.
Refer to the tractor's manual for the recommended tire pressure, typically around 12-15 PSI. Regularly check the pressure to ensure optimal traction and prevent unnecessary wear on the tires.
Turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug for safety. Use a garden hose to rinse off grass clippings and debris from the cutting deck. For stubborn debris, use a brush or scraper. Ensure the deck is dry before storing the tractor.
Clean the tractor thoroughly and remove any grass or dirt. Change the oil and filter, and stabilize the fuel. Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure and disconnect the battery. Store in a dry place, and cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
Ensure the tire pressure is even on all wheels. Check the cutting deck for levelness and adjust if necessary. Inspect the blades for sharpness and damage, and replace if needed. Also, verify that the deck lift system is functioning properly.
Excessive vibration may be caused by unbalanced blades, loose bolts, or worn belts. Check and tighten all bolts and fasteners. Inspect the blades for balance and sharpen or replace them if necessary. Examine the belts for wear and replace if needed.
To replace the drive belt, first remove the cutting deck. Release the belt tension and remove the old belt from the pulleys. Install the new belt, ensuring it is properly aligned on the pulleys. Reinstall the cutting deck and test the operation.
Check the transmission fluid level and top it up if needed. Ensure the drive belt is intact and properly tensioned. Inspect the linkage for any obstructions or damage. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician for further diagnosis.
