Frequently Asked Questions - Apex 60 Ariens
How do I start the Ariens Apex 60?
Ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO is off, and the operator is seated. Turn the key to the ON position, then engage the choke if the engine is cold, and turn to START. Release the key once the engine runs smoothly.
What type of oil should I use?
Use SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 motor oil with an API service classification of SJ or higher. The oil capacity is approximately 2 quarts including filter.
How often should I sharpen the blades?
Sharpen the blades at least once a season or after every 25 hours of use. Dull blades tear grass, leading to a brownish lawn.
How do I adjust the cutting height?
Use the height adjustment lever located near the seat. Pull the lever outward and move it to the desired position, then release to lock. There are 7 positions from 1.5 to 5 inches.
What should I do if the mower vibrates excessively?
Excessive vibration often indicates an unbalanced or damaged blade. Inspect blades for bends, cracks, or missing metal. Replace or sharpen and balance as needed. Also check for loose bolts.
How do I replace the drive belt?
Disconnect the spark plug wire. Remove the deck belt guard and belt covers. Release tension on the idler pulley and slide the old belt off. Route the new belt according to the diagram in the manual, then re-tension and replace covers.
Why does the engine die when I engage the PTO?
This could be due to a faulty seat switch or a loose connection. Ensure the operator is properly seated and the parking brake is disengaged. Check the switch and wiring harness for damage.
What size battery does the Apex 60 use?
The lawn mower uses a 12-volt battery with a capacity of approximately 340 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps). Group size typically U1.
How do I store the mower for winter?
1. Stabilize fuel or drain it. 2. Change oil and filter. 3. Clean the deck and apply rust preventive. 4. Remove the battery and store in a cool, dry place. 5. Cover the mower.
Can I add a mulching kit?
Yes, the Apex 60 is compatible with an optional mulching kit. Install the baffles and special blades according to the kit instructions. Mulching helps return nutrients to the lawn.
