Maintaining
Your Snow
Thrower
Bonded Friction Wheel
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. Examine the friction wheel for signs of wear or
cracking and replace if necessary
• 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.
• Remove the frame cover from the underside of the
snow thrower by removing four self-tapping screws
which secure it. Refer to Figure 5-2.
• Remove the right wheel from the axle by removing
the cotter pin and clevis pin.

• Using a 3/4" wrench to hold the hex shaft, remove the
hex screw and belleville washer from the left side of
the hex shaft. See Figure 6-11.
• Holding the friction wheel assembly, slide the hex
shaft out of the right side of the unit. The spacer on
the left side of the hex shaft will fall and sprocket
should remain hanging loose in the chain. See Figure
6-11.
• After noting where the pin of the shift arm assembly
is inserted into the friction wheel assemble, hold the
friction wheel and continue to pull the hex shaft from
the right side of the frame until friction wheel assembly
can be removed from the shaft.
• Maneuver the friction wheel assembly out of the frame
housing.
