Subject: Missing Engine Mounting Hardware, Remove Protective Covering from Recoil Housing

Dealer Action: Install Missing Hardware, Remove Protective Covering

Ariens Company has learned that some hardware used to mount the engine to the frame on the Pro models listed below may have been omitted. This allows the potential for slight shifting of the engine and possible belt misalignment. The plastic protective wrap applied to the recoil housing must also be removed to prevent potential engine overheating.

926038, 926040, 926039 specifications

Ariens is a well-known name in the outdoor power equipment industry, particularly in snow removal. The models Ariens 926039, 926040, and 926038 are part of their high-performance snow blower lineup, designed to tackle the toughest winter conditions with ease. These machines are built with robust features, modern technologies, and exceptional characteristics that make them ideal for residential and commercial use alike.

One of the main features of these models is their powerful engine. Equipped with a reliable Ariens Polar Force engine, each of these snow blowers delivers impressive torque and consistent performance in heavy snow. With a starting system that is both electric and recoil, users can quickly get their machines running, even in the coldest weather.

Another significant characteristic is the large clearing width and intake height. The Ariens 926039 boasts a 28-inch clearing width, the 926040 offers a wider 40-inch option, and the 926038 features a solid 30-inch width, making them capable of handling substantial snowfall in a single pass. This efficiency saves time and effort for the user, allowing for swift snow removal during winter storms.

The advanced chute control system is another highlight. These models include an oversized, telescoping discharge chute that rotates 200 degrees, enabling operators to direct the snow exactly where they want it to go. The easy-to-use, glove-friendly controls allow users to adjust the chute without needing to remove their gloves, a simple yet effective feature for comfort during operation.

Moreover, Ariens snow blowers are built for durability, featuring heavy-duty construction that stands up to harsh winter conditions. The reinforced steel auger and impeller offer exceptional cutting performance, efficiently breaking down and expelling snow, while the rugged frame design enhances stability and lifespan.

Lastly, the Ariens 926039, 926040, and 926038 come with several modern conveniences, such as LED headlights for improved visibility during nighttime use and large, high-traction tires that provide better maneuverability and grip on slippery surfaces.

In summary, the Ariens 926039, 926040, and 926038 snow blowers exemplify reliable performance driven by powerful engines, user-friendly features, and durable construction designed for effective snow removal in challenging winter conditions. Whether for residential use or commercial applications, these models offer exceptional value and efficiency.
