TO ADJUST THE CHUTE CRANK

ASSEMBLY

If you cannot rotate the chute crank fully to the left and to the right, you need to adjust the

chute crank. See first figure on this page.

•Remove the top cover. See To Remove Top Cover instructions on this page.

•Loosen both 1/2" nuts on the crank adjusting bracket using 1/2" wrenches.

•Swivel the crank adjusting bracket to allow about 1/8" clearance between the

notch in the flange and the outer diameter of the worm.

•Once this clearance is set, tighten the nuts.

•Remove "Z" hook from the auger control bar. See second figure on this page.

•Slide the boot toward the loose end of the cable. See last figure on this page.

•Push the cable down through the hole in the top of the cable adjustment bracket to provide slack in the cable. See last figure on this page.

•Remove the "Z" hook from the top hole in

the cableadjustment bracket and move to the next hole away from the top of the bracket. See last figure on this page.

•Pull cable slack through cable adjustment bracket and insert in the control bar. See last figure on this page.
