• Reassemble the two halves of the unit hooking the
lower portion of the auger housing over the
stationary shoulder bolts in the frame assembly.
Figure 21
• Secure the two halves with the two bolts and lock
washers removed earlier. Refer to Figure 18.
• Attach the “Z” fitting of the cable into the brake
bracket assembly. Refer to Figure 19.
• Slip the auger control belt over engine pulley.
• Insert ferrule on auger idler rod into bracket
assembly and secure with flat washer and cotter
pin. Reassemble the large shoulder bolt and lock
washer as shown in Figure 18.
• Reassemble belt cover and chute crank.
Changing Friction Wheel Rubber
The rubber on the friction wheel is subject to wear and
should be checked after the first 25 hours of operation,
and periodically thereafter. Replace the friction wheel
rubber if any signs of wear or cracking are found.
• Drain the gasoline from the snow thrower, or place
a piece of plastic under the gas cap.
• Tip the snow thrower up and forward, so that it rests
on the housing.
• Remove six screws from the frame cover
underneath the snow thrower.
• Remove the left wheel from the axle.
• Using a 7/8” wrench, hold the hex shaft and remove
the hex bolts and bell washer and bearing from left
side of the frame. See Figure 22.
• Holding the friction wheel assembly, slide the hex
shaft out of the left side of the unit. The spacer on
the right side of the hex shaft will fall and the
sprocket should remain hanging lose in the chain.
• Lift the friction wheel assembly out between the
axle shaft and the drive shaft assemblies.
• Remove the four screws which secures the friction
wheel rubber between the friction wheel plates.
See Figure 22.
• Discard the old friction wheel rubber.

• Reassemble the new friction wheel rubber to the
friction wheel assembly, tightening the four screws
in rotation and with equal force.
• Insert the pin from the shift arm assembly into the
friction wheel assembly and hold assembly in
