Slip the drive belt off the pulley and between friction 

wheel and friction wheel disc. See Fig. 8-7.

Remove and replace belt in the reverse order.
NOTE: Engaging the drive control will ease reassembly of 

the belt. 

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. 
NOTE: Special tools are required and several components must 

be removed and in order to replace the snow thrower’s friction 

wheel rubber. See an authorized Service Dealer to have the 

friction wheel rubber replaced or phone Customer Support 

as instructed on page 2 for information on ordering a Service 

Manual.
To inspect the friction wheel, proceed as follows:

Place a piece of plastic under the gas cap and tighten 

securely.
Carefully pivot the snow thrower up and forward so that it 

rests on the auger housing.
