Use and Care Manual

If you only want to replace the rubber ring, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the eight screws which secure the friction wheel’s side

plates together.

2. Remove the rubber ring from between the plates.

3. Reassemble the side plates with a new rubber ring.

When reassembling the friction wheel assembly, make

sure that rubber ring is centered and seated properly

between the side plates. Tighten each screw only

one rotation before turning the wheel clockwise and

proceeding with the next screw on the other side of

the wheel. Repeat this process several times to ensure

the plates are secured with equal force between

90N.m(6 ft-lbs) and 130N.m(9 ft-lbs).

4. Slide the friction wheel assembly back onto the hex shaft. Make

sure the shift lever pin is in place in the bearing housing. Follow

the steps above in reverse order to reassemble components.

STORAGE

At the end of the season or if the snow blower will not be used for

30 days or longer, follow the storage instructions below.

1. Run the engine until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty

and it stops due to lack of fuel.

2. Remove the safety ignition key and allow the engine to cool.

3. Lubricate the machine as instructed.

4. Clean the exterior of the engine and the snow blower

thoroughly.

5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand affected

areas before painting, and use a rust preventative to prevent

the metal parts from rusting.

6. Tighten all loose screws, bolts, and locknuts. Repair or replace

any damaged parts.

7. Cover the machine and store it in a clean, dry place out of the

reach of children.

Refer to the Engine Manual for information on

storing your engine.
