  Several factors could prevent your Ariens Snow Blower from starting. It could be due to an empty fuel tank, a closed fuel shut-off valve, or dirt buildup around the governor/carburetor. Ensure the key switch is in the run position. Other potential issues include a malfunctioning ignition or electric starter, a discharged battery with loose wires, or a blown fuse on the wiring harness. Check these components and correct as needed: * Fill the fuel tank. * Open the fuel shut-off valve. * Clean the area around the governor/carburetor. * Put the key switch into the run position. * Check the starter and connections. * Check the battery and connections. * Replace the fuse.

Why does my Ariens Sno-Thro Hydro Pro 28 Track unit throw snow poorly or not throw snow at all?

  If your Ariens Snow Blower isn't throwing snow well, check for broken shear bolts or if ice or debris is obstructing the auger. The impeller could be frozen in place. Also, the attachment clutch/brake may not be adjusted correctly, or the attachment drive belts might be slipping, worn, or damaged. * Replace any broken shear bolts. * Adjust the attachment clutch/brake. * Move the unit to a warm place to thaw any ice. * With the engine off and auger disengaged, remove any obstructions. * Adjust or replace the attachment drive belts.

How to fix an Ariens Sno-Thro Hydro Pro 28 Track that does not operate in Forward / Reverse?
- J

  If your Ariens Snow Blower isn't moving forward or reverse, check for slack in the traction cable. The traction belt might not be functioning correctly, the speed selector may not be adjusted properly, or the transmission could be bypassed. To resolve this: * Loosen the jam nut on the cable, remove the slack, and tighten the jam nut. * Repair or replace the traction drive belt. * Adjust the speed selector. * Verify the bypass rod is pushed fully forward into the frame.
