Replacing Friction Wheel Rubber
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, or place
a piece of plastic under the gas cap.
• Tip the snow thrower up and forward, so that it rests
on the housing.
