Friction Wheel Removal
If the snow thrower fails to drive with the drive
control engaged, and performing the drive control
cable adjustment fails to correct the problem, the
friction wheel may need to be replaced. Follow the
instructions below.
1.
Examine the friction wheel for signs of wear
or cracking and replace if necessary.
Place the shift lever in third Forward (F3)
position.
Drain the gasoline from the snow thrower,
or place a piece of plastic under the gas cap.
Carefully pivot the snow thrower up and
forward so that it rests on the auger housing

b. Remove the right-hand wheel by removing the
screw and bell washer which secure it to the axle. See
Figure 31.

Carefully remove the hex nut and washer
which secures. See Figure 32. The hex shaft to the
snow thrower frame and lightly tap the shaft’s end
to dislodge the ball bearing from the right side of the
frame.
4.
Carefully position the hex shaft downward
and to the left before carefully sliding the friction wheel
assembly off the shaft.
NOTE: If you’re replacing the friction wheel assembly
as a whole, discard the worn part and slide the new
part onto the hex shaft. Follow the steps above the
friction wheel and replacing only the rubber ring,
proceed as follows. See Figure 33.
5.
Slide the friction wheel assembly back onto
the hex shaft and follow the steps above in reverse
