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.
