NOTE: Do not remove the pin installed on the
chute rod.
NOTE: To ensure the discharge chute follows
its full range of travel, make sure the control
lever is pushed all the way to the left before
installing and pinning the chute rod.
7. Align the holes on the end of the chute
rod with the mark on the gear assembly
and slide the end without a pin through
the gear assembly, through the hook on
the chute lock cable and into the hex
hole in the control assembly.
IMPORTANT: The hook will prevent the
control cable from contacting the engine or
muffler guard.
NOTE: After the chute rod has been inserted
through the hex hole in the control assembly,
placing the unit in the service position (see
Service Position on page 21) will ease
alignment and installation of the hair pin.
8. Secure the chute rod to the control
assembly with the hair pin removed in
step 6 using the end hole location as
shown in Figure 10. Insert the hair pin
with the loop end to the left of the chute
rod so the control assembly follows a full
range of travel.
9. Insert the chute lock cable fitting into the
bracket on the chute pedestal, and then
connect the chute lock cable to the lock
teeth by fitting the cable ball end into the
slot on the lock teeth. See Figure 11.
NOTE: Press down on lock teeth with your
finger to align the cable ball end with the slot
(Figure 11).
10. Replace the gear cover removed in
step 4.
IMPORTANT: Rotate the discharge chute to
the left when tightening the pedestal
hardware to ensure clearance between the
discharge chute and the belt cover.
11. Tighten pedestal hardware to 15 – 31
lbf-ft (20 – 42 N•m).
12. Make sure the discharge chute rotates
left and right when you push the
discharge chute control lever left and
right.
