NOTE: Loosening the six nuts that connect the frame to the auger housing may aid in belt removal.
•Lift the auger belt from the auger pulley, and slip belt between the support bracket and the auger pulley. See Figure 17. Repeat this step for the front auger belt.
•Replace the auger drive belt by following instructions in reverse order.
Drive Belt
•Follow the first four steps of the instructions for servicing the auger belt.
•Pull idler pulley up, and lift belt off engine pulley and friction wheel disc. See Figure 18.
•Back out the stop bolt until the support bracket rests on the auger pulley. See Figure 20.
•Slip belt between friction wheel and friction wheel disc. See Figure 20. Remove and replace belt.
•Reassemble following the instructions in reverse order.
NOTE: The support bracket must rest on the stop bolt after the new belt has been assembled. See Figure 20.
Servicing Friction Wheel Rubber
WARNING: Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting. Drain fuel into an approved container or place a piece of plastic film underneath the gas cap to prevent
gasoline from leaking.
The rubber on the friction wheel is subject to wear and should be checked after 25 hours of operation, and periodically thereafter. Replace the friction wheel rubber if any signs of wear or cracking are found.
•Drain the gasoline from the snow thrower.
