Hi All
Loving my Ariens, but I believe a few things need to be tweaked. The Chute deflector is freezing up. I believe it to be the cable controlling it. There is a rubber nipple at the top of the cable where it attaches to the deflector. Is this rubber nibble supposed to be down past the plastic snap in piece on the second metal clip, or just placed over it? I have put some WD40 down inside the cable and it hasn't helped at all.
Second, my chute rotation control is too loose when I first start the machine. The vibration from the engine brings it back to facing front every time. But after running for about 10 minutes it works almost perfect. Is this froze up too? When I say almost perfect it still doesn't stay all the way right even then. The cable seems a little short to me, if I pull some slack on the cable, its better then without. I did read the manual and it told me to ajust the bolts under the control section. Loose bottom nut, tighten top one. But if I do this, will it make it work good for the first 10 minutes and then make it to stiff for the rest?
