SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Chute Control

Once a season or every 25 hours of operation, whichever is earlier, check whether the four-way chute control™ cables have slackened. If the chute does not rotate fully, the chute control cables will have to be adjusted. Refer to Figure 20.

To adjust these cables, proceed as follows:

1.Using a ½” wrench, loosen the upper and lower hex nuts found on one cable adjuster.

2.Grasp the metal cable housing and gently push upward to take up slack (usually no more than 1⁄4-inch) in the cable before retightening both hex nuts.

3. Repeat on the other cable adjuster until the chute assembly has full range from left-to-right.

Auger Control

Refer to the Assembly section for instructions on adjusting the auger control cable.
