•Coat the top of the ring around the discharge opening with general purpose grease.

Place the discharge chute (facing forward) onto the ring. Place the anti-rotation bracket on top of the chute fl ange, aligning it with the holes on the right hand side of the fl ange. Attach the three chute keepers (BB) (right side up as shown) to the bottom of the fl ange using six 1/4" x 1" hex bolts (D), 1/4" fl at washers (P) and 1/4" fl anged lock nuts (V). Tighten carefully so that the nuts are snug but do not dig into the plastic chute keepers.

Place the plastic cap (HH) onto the short end of the anti-rotation bracket.

Position the crank rod spiral (see fi gure 51) so that it does not rub against the bottoms of the notches in the chute fl ange. Tighten the nuts.

Check if the crank rod rotates the chute freely. If not, loosen by 1/4 turn each of the six hex bolts holding the chute keepers to the chute fl ange.

Secure the control cables to the crank rod support tube using a nylon tie (II).
