STEP 53: (SEE FIGURE 52)
Coat the top of the ring around the discharge opening
with general purpose grease.
Place the discharge chute (facing forward) onto the
ring. Place the anti-rotation bracket on top of the chute
flange, aligning it with the holes on the right hand side
of the flange. Attach the three chute keepers (right
side up as shown) to the bottom of the flange using
six 1/4" x 1" hex bolts, 1/4" flat washers and 1/4"
flanged lock nuts. Tighten carefully so that the nuts
are snug but do not dig into the plastic chute keepers.
Place the plastic cap onto the short end of the anti-
rotation bracket.
Position the crank rod spiral (see figure 51) so that it
does not rub against the bottoms of the notches in the
chute flange. Tighten the nuts.
Check if the crank rod rotates the chute freely. If not,
loosen by 1/4 turn each of the six hex bolts holding
the chute keepers to the chute flange.
Secure the control cables to the crank rod support
tube using a nylon tie.
