When you are using an Ariens Sno-Thro brand snowblower to clear your driveway and sidewalks you may encounter specific problems that acquire troubleshooting. For example, if the machine does not start or crank then there could be several reasons. You must always make sure the fuel tank is full, and if the tank is full then you should check the shut-off valve for the fuel tank to make sure it is fully closed. Adjusting this specific valve correctly is very important when using the Ariens Sno-Thro and you must make sure it always securely closed or open.
