The RPMs increase significantly while using the Ariens Sno-Thro Deluxe 24 to clear a driveway because the impeller and auger engage to process and throw snow. When the machine encounters resistance from snow, the engine compensates by increasing power output to maintain performance. This ensures efficient snow removal while preventing clogging.

Why would the rpm’s go very high 1/2 way through clearing my driveway
@Don 1 year old 24” deluxe
The RPMs increase significantly while using the Ariens Sno-Thro Deluxe 24 to clear a driveway because the impeller and auger engage to process and throw snow. When the machine encounters resistance from snow, the engine compensates by increasing power output to maintain performance. This ensures efficient snow removal while preventing clogging.
