Ariens, Sno-Tek, and Gravely are recalling approximately 5,700 snow throwers and power brushes because a drive pulley can crack during use. This defect can cause the auger, impeller, or brush to keep rotating even after the operator releases the clutch lever, posing a serious risk of amputation or laceration. These machines were sold at Home Depot and other authorized dealers nationwide between January 2014 and February 2014 for between $500 and $2,200. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and contact Ariens for a free repair.
A cracked drive pulley allows the rotating parts to continue spinning without the operator's control, which can lead to severe hand or finger injuries if the consumer attempts to clear a clog or comes into contact with the moving parts.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled snow throwers and brushes and contact Ariens Company for a free repair. Consumers should remember to never put their hands into the discharge chute.
