Posted a review of my Ariens 926DLE snow thrower
Original Message Jan 9, 2005 1:49 pm

Please check the Reviews section for the full post. I am curious if anyone else has noticed the exhaust problem:

The exhaust blows STRAIGHT into your face when you lean down to engage the traction control. The situation is aggravated by the fact that when the wheel is clogged with snow you have to spend a few seconds fiddling with the pin to get it to pop into its detent. This is crap engineering and a mild safety/ health issue - the muffler needs a deflector or a 90 degree elbow to blow the fumes forward. Or the traction control needs to be re-engineered to put the pin on the opposite side. You can eliminate the problem by walking around to the left side of the machine, but this shouldn't be necessary in the first place

Comments?

Also, I tried to post a picture from my hard drive and it did not go through. Is there a server problem?

There should not be a problem!

I just tested in the DVD Player reviews section, and it went through fine. Windows XP, IE 6.0.

You can edit the product you posted and re-attempt to attach your picture.

Make sure you are uploading a JPG, though it should really be able to take any picture file format.

Yes John, this happens with my Dad's 924 but I never lock the axel and if I did I would just turn the machine off.

OK, I went back to my post and there was the picture. I know I hit refresh the first few times and it did not appear. Computer gremlins I guess...
