5. ADJUSTMENTS
IMPORTANT: Disengage blade, shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, engage
parking brake, remove key, and disconnect the wire from the spark plug before servicing,
cleaning, or making any adjustments to the unit.
5.1. Refer back to installation instructions.
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 GATE DOES NOT LOCK WHEN CLOSED
If you try to open the gate with your hands, the gate should be locked into place. If the
gate opens, the cable is tensioned too tightly. Fine tune the mounting nuts on the cable by
following steps 3.2.13 through 3.2.15.
6.2 GATE DOES NOT OPEN
If the gate does not open when the foot pedal is in the locked position, the cable is not
tensioned properly. Adjust the bracket and mounting nuts in step 3.2.13 through 3.2.15.
6.3 GATE DOES NOT ROTATE FREELY AND STICKS IN THE UP POSITION
Check the discharge opening on the deck for protruding welds. Any welds left protruding
from the face of the discharge opening could interfere with free operation of the discharge
gate. Remove the discharge chute and gate linkage assembly from the deck and grind
welds flush as shown in Figure 8. Reinstall gate linkage assembly and discharge chute.
6.4 GATE INTERFERES WITH THE DISCHARGE CHUTE
When installation is completed, rotate gate assembly through its full travel range and
check clearance with discharge chute. Trim additional material from discharge chute if
necessary.
