Follow the instructions below. Examine the friction wheel for signs of wear or cracking and replace if necessary • • Place the shift lever in third Forward (F3) position. Drain the gasoline from the snow thrower, or place a piece of plastic under the gas cap. • Carefully pivot the snow thrower up and forward so that it rests on the auger housing. 1. a. Remove the frame cover from the underside of the snow thrower by removing four selftapping screws which secure it. b. Remove the right-hand wheel by removing the screw and bell washer which secure it to the axle. c. Locate the hex shaft and E-ring on the right side of the snow thrower frame, about two inches from the wheel axle. c. Using a suitable tool, carefully remove the outer E-ring which secures the hex shaft to the snow thrower frame and lightly tap the shaft’s end to dislodge the ball bearing from the right side of the frame. 2. a. Slide the hex shaft downward and to the left while carefully un-meshing the lower gears on the hex shaft from the upper gears on the wheel axle. b. Set the hex shaft’s gears aside. c. Carefully remove the inner E-ring from the hex shaft and slide the friction wheel assembly off the hex shaft. 2 NOTE: If you’re replacing the friction wheel assembly as a whole, discard the worn part and slide the new part onto the hex shaft. Follow the steps above in reverse order to reassemble components. If you’re disassembling the friction wheel and replacing only the rubber ring, proceed as follows: 3 3. Remove the four screws which secure the friction wheel’s side plates together. • Remove the rubber ring from between the plates. • Reassemble the side plates with a replacement rubber ring. IMPORTANT: Tighten each screw only one rotation before turning the wheel clockwise and proceeding with the next screw. Repeat this process several times to ensure the plates are secured with equal force. • Slide the friction wheel assembly back onto the hex shaft and follow the steps above in reverse order to reassemble components. 18 Augers • • IMPORTANT: NEVER replace the auger shear pins with anything other than OEM Part No.738-04124 replacement shear pins. Any damage to the auger gearbox or other components as a result of failing to do so will NOT be covered by your snow thrower’s warranty. The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear pins and cotter pins. If the auger should strike a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the pins may shear. Refer to Figure 8. If the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins have sheared. One set of replacement shear pins has been provided with the snow thrower. When replacing pins, spray an oil lubricant into shaft before inserting new pins. SECTION 7: 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. NOTE: Fuel stabilizers, such as STA-BIL®, are an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Do not drain carburetor if using a fuel stabilizer. 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. • • Wipe equipment with an oiled rag to prevent rust. 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 the lubrication recommendations found in the Maintenance Section. • Always store the snow thrower in a clean, dry area. 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. If unit is to be stored over 30 days, prepare for storage as follows: • • Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain, located below the carburetor cover. 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. 19 SECTION 8: TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Trouble Possible Cause(s) Engine fails to start Fuel tank empty, or stale fuel.
