• Follow steps 1 through 4 of previous instructions.
• Pull idler pulley up, and lift belt off engine pulley
and friction wheel disc. See Figure 22.
• Back out the stop bolt until the support bracket
rests on the auger pulley. See Figure 24.
• Slip belt between friction wheel and friction wheel
disc. Remove and replace 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. See Figure 25.

Changing 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. See Figure 25.

• Remove six self-tapping screws from the frame
cover underneath the snow thrower.
• Remove the klick pins which secure the wheels,
and remove the wheels from the axle.
• Using a wrench to hold the shaft, loosen, but do not
completely remove, the hex nut and bell washer on
left end of gear shaft. See Figure 25.
• Lightly tap the hex nut to dislodge the ball bearing
from the right side of frame. Remove the hex nut
and bell washer from left end of shaft.
• Slide the gear shaft to the right and slide the friction
wheel assembly from the shaft.
• Remove the six screws from the friction wheel
assembly (three from each side). Remove the
friction wheel rubber from between the friction
wheel plate. See Figure 26.

• Reassemble new friction wheel rubber to the
friction wheel assembly, tightening the six screws
in rotation and with equal force.
• Position the friction wheel assembly up onto the pin
