If you only want to replace the rubber ring, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the eight screws which secure the friction wheel’s side
plates together.
2. Remove the rubber ring from between the plates.
3. Reassemble the side plates with a new rubber 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
90n.m(6 ft-lbs) and 130n.m(9 ft-lbs).
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

2. Remove the safety ignition key and allow the engine to cool.
3. Lubricate the machine as instructed.
4.

any damaged parts.
7. Cover the machine and store it in a clean, dry place out of the
reach of children.
