WARNING
Attaching the Chute Assembly
Remove locknuts and screws securing one of the
flange keepers to the chute assembly. See Figure 4.
Loosen but do not remove the locknuts and screws on
the other two flange keepers.
Slide chute assembly over chute opening, making
sure the flange keepers are beneath lip of chute
adapter. The notches should engage with the spiral
end of the chute crank. See Figure 5.
Secure flange keeper, locknuts and screws previously
removed. Tighten all flange keepers and hardware
with two 7/16” wrenches. Do not over tighten.
NOTE: If necessary the chute crank support bracket can
be adjusted so the spiral on the chute crank fully engages
the teeth on the chute assembly. Refer to the Adjustment
Section.
If not already attached, slip the cables that run from
the handle panel to the discharge chute into the cable
guide located on top of the engine. See Figure 6.
