Install Discharge Chute Crank

1.Remove the cover from the gear assembly on the discharge chute.

2.Release the lock teeth on the gear assembly with your finger and rotate the discharge chute 90° left.

3.Remove and save the hairpin from the control assembly underneath the control panel.

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.

4.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 loop on the chute lock cable and into the hex hole in the control assembly.

IMPORTANT: The loop will prevent the control cable from contacting the engine or muffler guard. If the loop gets damaged, loosely tie the cable to the control rod.

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 19) will ease alignment and installation of the hair pin.

5.Secure the chute rod to the control assembly with the hair pin removed in step 3 using the proper hole location as shown in Figure 7. 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.
