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?

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