  If your Ariens Lawn Mower engine won't crank or start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the safety interlock system is properly engaged and not faulty. Next, check that the fuel tanks are adequately filled. A discharged battery could also be the culprit, so ensure it's charged. Examine the connection between the battery and cables, tightening them or cleaning away any corrosion. Also, verify the spark plug wires are securely connected, and the spark plugs are in good working order. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it could point to a faulty electrical system or engine, in which case you should contact your Ariens Dealer.

  If your Ariens Lawn Mower doesn't travel in a straight line, start by checking the tire pressure. If the tire pressure is correct, the steering levers may need adjustment.
