Ariens slow to throw snow
Original Message   Feb 26, 2006 2:41 pm

I have an Ariens 824 (2002 or so)  and recently have been having troubles with the auger/impeller.  Once the machine is started, if I try to blow snow, the machine will bogg down.  (It doesn't matter the ammount or type of snow.)  Once the auger system has been engaged for a while, things seem to work normally.  Any ideas as to what is causing this?

Bogg down, as in throwing distance is reduced.  The forward movement/rpms of the machine remain unchanged.  I'll check the belts.  thanks for the advice.

You may just need to adjust the idler pulley to apply more tension.
