  If your Ariens Lawn Mower engine won't start, several factors could be the reason. It might be because the safety switch isn't held down—make sure to hold it down while turning the ignition key. Other potential causes include a faulty ignition switch (replace it), a blown wiring harness fuse (replace the fuse), loose or corroded battery cables (clean and tighten them), or a discharged battery (charge it).

  If your Ariens Lawn Mower engine is hard to restart, consider these possibilities: the fuel tank might be empty (fill it with clean, fresh fuel), the fuel filter could be dirty (replace it), the spark plug might be faulty (replace it), or the air cleaner could be plugged or dirty (clean or replace it).

What to do if Ariens Lawn Mower does not bag clippings?
- C
  Colton JohnstonAug 27, 2025
  If your Ariens Lawn Mower isn't bagging clippings, several issues could be at fault. Check if the deck is clogged with grass and clean the cutting chamber if necessary. Dull blades can also cause this problem, so sharpen or replace them. Avoid cutting wet grass, as this can hinder bagging. Ensure you're not cutting too low; raise the cutting height. Lastly, a slipping PTO belt can be the culprit; adjust or replace it.

  Chloe WilsonSep 1, 2025
  Uneven grass dispersal with your Ariens Lawn Mower can be due to a few reasons. The deck might be clogged with grass, so start by cleaning the deck cutting chamber. Dull blades can also cause this issue, so sharpen or replace them. Cutting wet grass is another factor; wait for the grass to dry. Also, ensure you're not cutting too low; raise the cutting height and consider cutting in multiple passes.
