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. • Tip the snow thrower up and forward, so that it rests on the housing. • Remove six self-tapping screws from the frame cover underneath the snow thrower. • Remove the click pins which secure the wheels, and remove the wheels from the axle. • Using a 7/8" wrench to hold the shaft, loosen, but do not completely remove, the hex nut and bell washer on the left end of gear shaft. See Figure 21. Figure 21 • Lightly tap the hex nut to dislodge the ball bearing from the right side of frame before removing the hex nut and bell washer from left end of shaft. • Move the gear shaft to the right and slide the friction wheel assembly from the shaft. • Remove the six screws from the friction wheel assembly (three from each side). Remove the friction wheel rubber from between the friction wheel plates. See Figure 22. Figure 22 • Reassemble new friction wheel rubber to the friction wheel plates and hub, tightening the six screws in rotation and with equal force.

of the shift rod assembly, and slide the shaft through the assembly. Reassemble in reverse order. Augers The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear bolts and hex lock nuts. Refer to Figure 14. If you hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the bolts may shear. If the augers will not turn, check to see if the bolts have sheared. IMPORTANT: NEVER replace the auger shear bolts with standard hex bolts. Any damage to the auger gearbox or other components as a result of doing so will NOT be covered by your snow throwers warranty. Off-season Storage WARNING: Never store the machine or fuel container indoors where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as on a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliances. If unit is to be stored over 30 days, prepare for storage as follows: • Remove gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of engine. • Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine stops due to lack of fuel. • Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain, located below the carburetor cover. WARNING: Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors, away from open flame. Allow engine to cool. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition prior to draining fuel. Fuel left in engine for extended period deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems. NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach carburetor. Do not drain carburetor if using fuel stabilizer. • Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and equipment. • Remove spark plug and pour one ounce of engine oil through spark plug hole into cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with rag. Crank engine several times to distribute oil. Replace spark plug. • Follow lubrication recommendations on page 11. NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to rust proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially any chains, springs, bearings and cables.
