DRIVE SYSTEM
4 - 2 Snow Commander Service Manual
This machine is specifically designed to clean to the
surface and propel itself in this manner. For this reason
it is not recommended for use on unpaved surfaces. If
the machine is adjusted correctly and used on a gravel
surface, it will pick up and throw gravel along with the
snow. This is undesirable due to possible injury to
passers by and potential damage to property. Any
attempt to adjust it up to pass over the gravel will result
in not cleaning to the surface and a complete loss of
self-propelling.
Drive System Disassembly
1. The belt cover is on the left-hand side of the
machine. The belt cover is held on with two
screws and three bolts.
NOTE: The first year only there was a special
diamond shape washer used in the front top hole.
Subsequent years use a standard washer (Figure
39).

2. Remove the belt cover and the left rotor guard.
The belt system is now fully exposed (Figure 40).

3. Before you remove the belt, note the routing and if
the belt is damaged. There is a belt routing decal
on the inside of the belt cover and a copy of that
decal in the owners manual (Figure 41). If the belt
was misrouted or has jumped the pulleys, it will
likely be damaged. A damaged belt should be
replaced.

4. To remove the rotor pulley, it will be necessary to
hold the rotor steady. A block of wood can be used
to stop the rotor from turning (Figure 42), allowing
the capscrew to be removed from the rotor pulley
(Figure 43). The rotor pulley is removed by pulling
straight off.
