SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

4.Carefully pivot the snow thrower up and forward so that it rests on the auger housing.

5.Remove the frame cover from the underside of the snow thrower by removing four self-tapping screws which secure it. Refer to Figure 23.

6.Slip the drive belt off the pulley and between friction wheel and friction wheel disc. See Figure 27.

7.Remove and replace belt in the reverse order.

NOTE: Engaging the drive control will ease reassembly of the belt.

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. Examine the friction wheel for signs of wear or cracking and replace if necessary.

NOTE: Several components must be removed and special tools are required in order to replace this snow thrower’s friction wheel rubber. Contact the nearest Sears Parts & Repair Center as instructed onpage 2 if your friction wheel rubber needs to be replaced.
