Changing Friction Wheel Rubber
•
Insert the pin from the shift arm assembly into the
friction wheel assembly and hold assembly in
position. Refer to Figure 24.
The rubber on the friction wheel is subject to wear and
should be checked after the first 25 hours of operation,
and periodically thereafter. Replace the friction wheel
rubber if any signs of wear or cracking are found.

in rotation and with equal force. SeeFigure 25. It is
important to assemble the rubber on the friction
wheel symmetrically for proper functioning.
