6. Remove the other bearing from the left side of the frame by
removing the snap ring.
7. Carefully position the hex shaft downward and to the left before
carefully sliding the friction wheel assembly off the shaft.

If you only want to replace the rubber ring, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the six screws which secure the friction wheel’s side
plates together. (See Figure 22e)
Bearing
Snap Ring
When reassembling the friction wheel assembly,
make sure that rubber ring is centered and seated
properly between the side plates. Tighten each screw
only one rotation before turning the wheel clockwise
and proceeding with the next screw on the other
side of the wheel. Repeat this process several times
to ensure the plates are secured with equal force
between 6 ft-lbs(90N.m) and 9 ft-lbs(130N.m).
2. Remove the rubber ring from between the plates.
3. Reassemble the side plates with a new rubber ring.
4. Slide the friction wheel assembly back onto the hex shaft. Make
sure the shift lever pin is in place in the bearing housing. Follow
the steps above in reverse order to reassemble components.

STORAGE

and it stops due to lack of fuel.
2. Remove the safety ignition key and allow the engine to cool.
3. Lubricate the machine as instructed.
