Follow the first four steps of the instructions for
servicing the auger belts.

Pull the idler pulley up and lift the belt off the wheel
drive pulley and friction wheel disc. See Figure 13.

Figure 14

Back out the stop bolt until the support bracket
rests on the auger pulley. See Figure 14.

Slip the belt between the friction wheel and drive
disc. Remove and replace the belt. Reassemble
following the instructions in reverse order.

NOTE: The support bracket must rest on the stop bolt
after the new belt has been assembled.

Replacing Friction Wheel Rubber

The rubber on the friction wheel is subject to wear and
should be checked after 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 the six self-tapping screws from the frame
cover underneath the snow thrower.

Remove the click pin that secures the left wheel to
the axle and slide the wheel from the axle.

Remove the four screws securing the left drive
cover to the frame. Remove the drive cover.
See Figure 15.

Figure 15

Holding the friction wheel assembly, slide the hex
shaft out of the left side of the frame. The spacer on
the right side of the hex shaft will fall and the
sprocket should remain hanging loose in the chain.
See Figure 16.

Lift the friction wheel assembly out between the
axle shaft and the drive shaft assemblies.
