6. Move the gear shaft to the right and slide the friction
wheel assembly from the shaft. See Figure 23.
7. Remove the four screws from the friction wheel
assembly. See Figure 24.
8. Remove the friction wheel rubber from between the
friction wheel plates. See Figure 24.

9. Reassemble new friction wheel rubber to the
friction wheel plates and hub, tightening the four
screws in rotation and with equal force.
10. Position the friction wheel assembly up onto the pin
of the shift rod assembly, and slide the shaft
through the assembly. Reassemble in reverse
order. Refer to Figure 23.
Adjustments
Chute Assembly
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by
changing the angle of the chute assembly. Move the
chute tilt control forward to decrease the distance, and
rearward to increase the distance.
Auger Control
Refer to Auger Control Test in the Operating Section to
adjust the auger control.
Drive Control and Shift Lever
To check the adjustment of the drive control and shift
lever, proceed as follows:

1. With the engine off, move the shift lever all the way
forward to the highest speed. With the drive control
lever released, push the snow thrower forward. The
unit should roll forward. Then engage the drive
control grip. The wheels should stop turning.
2. Release drive control grip and push the unit again.
3. Move the shift lever back to the fast reverse
position then all the way forward again. There
should be no resistance in the shift lever, and the
unit should move.
4. If you feel resistance when moving the shift lever or
the tracks stop when they should not, loosen the
jam nut on the drive control cable and unthread the
cable one turn.
5. If the tracks do not stop when you engage drive
control clutch grip, loosen jam nut on the drive
control cable and thread the cable in one turn.
6. Recheck adjustment and repeat as necessary.
Tighten the jam nut to secure cable when correct
adjustment is reached.
WARNING:
snow thrower's tank, or place a piece of plastic
film under the gas cap to avoid spillage before
making the adjustment.
To test further for correct adjustment, if necessary,
proceed as follows:
7. Tip the snow thrower forward, allowing it to rest on
the auger housing.
8. Remove the frame cover underneath the snow
thrower by removing the four self-tapping screws.
See Figure 25.

9. With the drive control released, check if there is
clearance between the friction wheel and the drive
plate in all positions of the shift lever.
10. With the drive control engaged, check if the friction
wheel contacts the drive plate. See Figure 26.
