How To Adjust Or Replace The Friction
Wheel
How To Check The Friction Wheel
If the snow thrower will not move forward, check
the traction drive belt, the traction drive cable or
the friction wheel. If the friction wheel is worn or
damaged, it must be replaced. See "How To
Replace the Friction Wheel" in this section. If the
friction wheel is not worn or damaged, check as
follows.
1. (Figure 2) Remove the gas from the gas
tank. Stand the snow thrower up on the front
end of the auger housing (4).
WARNING: Drain the gasoline out-
doors, away from fire or flame.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
3. (Figure 22) Loosen the bolts (3) on each
side of the bottom panel (2).
4. Remove the bottom panel (2).
5. (Figure 2) Position the shift speed lever (6)
in the lowest forward speed.
6. (Figure 24) Note the position of the friction
wheel (4). The correct distance "A" from the
right side of the friction wheel (4) to the out-
side of the motorbox is as follows:
Tire Size Distance "A"
12 and 13 inch 4-1/8" (10.5 cm.)
16 inch 4-5/16" (10.95 cm.)
If the friction wheel (4) is not in the correct
position, adjust as follows.
How To Adjust The Friction Wheel
1. (Figure 2) Position the shift speed lever (6)
in the lowest forward speed.
2. (Figure 7) Loosen hex jam nut (9) on speed
select rod (2). Remove ball joint (6) from
shifter rod (7).
3. (Figure 24) Move the friction wheel (4) to
the correct position.
4. (Figure 7) Turn the adaptor (10) until the
ball joint (6) is aligned with the mounting
hole in the shifter rod (7). When aligned,
attach the ball joint (6) to the shifter rod (7).
5. (Figure 22) Install the bottom panel (2).
6. Tighten the bolts (3) on each side of the bot-
tom panel (2).

How To Replace The Friction Wheel
If the friction wheel is worn or damaged, the
snow thrower will not move forward. The friction
wheel must be replaced as follows.
1. (Figure 2) Remove the gas from the gas
tank. Stand the snow thrower up on the front
end of the auger housing (4).
WARNING: Drain the gasoline out-
doors, away from fire or flame.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
3. (Figure 28) Remove the fasteners that se-
cure the right wheel (10). Remove the right
wheel (10) from the axle (11).
4. Loosen the bolts (3) on each side of the bot-
tom panel (2).
5. Remove the bottom panel (2).
6. (Figure 29) Remove the fasteners that se-
cure the drive sprocket (12) to the axle (11).
7. Remove the left wheel, axle (11), and drive
sprocket (12).
8. (Figure 30) Remove the four bolts (16) that
hold the bearings (7) on each side of the
hex shaft (8).
9. (Figure 31) Remove the hex shaft (8) and
bearings (7).
NOTE: Take special note of the position of
the washers (17) .
10. (Figure 26) Remove the three fasteners (4)
that hold the friction wheel (5) to the hub
(6).
11. (Figure 26) Remove the friction wheel (5)
from the hub (6). Slip the friction wheel (5)
off the hex shaft (8).
12. Assemble the new friction wheel (5) onto
hub (6) with the fasteners removed earlier.
13. (Figure 31) Install the hex shaft (8) and
bearings (7) with the four bolts removed ear-
lier.
Make sure the washers (17) are properly
installed in the original position. Also,
make sure the two washers (13) are prop-
erly aligned with the actuator arms (14).
14. Make sure the hex shaft (8) turns freely.
15. (Figure 29) Install the left wheel, axle (11),
and drive sprocket (12) with the fasteners
removed earlier. Install the chain (15) onto
the drive sprocket (12).
16. Check the adjustment of the friction wheel.
See "How To Adjust The Friction Wheel" in
this section.
17. Make sure the friction wheel and the disc
drive plate are free from grease or oil.

tom panel (2).
20. Install the right wheel (10) to the axle (11)
with the fasteners removed earlier.
21. Connect the spark plug wire.
How To Replace the Auger Shear Bolt
The augers are secured to the auger shaft with
special shear bolts. These shear bolts are de-
signed to break and protect the machine if an
object becomes lodged in the auger housing.
Do not use a harder bolt as the protection pro-
vided by the shear bolt will be lost.
WARNING: For safety and to pro-
tect the machine, use only original
equipment shear bolts.
To replace a broken shear bolt, proceed as fol-
lows. Extra shear bolts were provided in the as-
sembly parts bag.
