5.Rotate the joystick to the one o’clock position so that the silver indicator arrow on the pinion gear below the control panel faces upward. See Figure 3-7.

7.Push the chute control rod toward the control panel until the hole in the rod lines up with the hole in the chute control input closest to the chute control head and insert the hairpin clip removed earlier. See Figure 3-9.

Figure 3-7

NOTE: The joystick will be angled slightly to the right at the one o’clock position. See “Top View” in Figure 3-6.

6.Insert the chute control rod into the pinion gear below the joystick. Make sure to line up the hole in the rod with the arrow on the pinion gear. See Figure 3-8.

Figure 3-8

NOTE: The chute control rod will fit snuggly into the pinion gear. Support the rear of the dash panel with one hand while inserting the rod with your other hand to ensure the rod is inserted all the way into the pinion gear.

NOTE: The hole is a reference for aligning the rod with the indicator arrow on the pinion gear, and will be visible after the rod has been inserted.

Figure 3-9

NOTE: The second hole is used to achieve further engagement of the chute control rod into the pinion gear if required. Refer to page 24 for Chute Control Rod adjustments.

8.Finish securing chute control head to chute support bracket with wing nut, clevis pin, and bow-tie cotter pin removed in step 1. See Figure 3-3.

9.Check that all cables are properly routed through the cable guide on top of the engine. See Figure 3-10.

Figure 3-10

NOTE: For smoothest operation, the cables should all be to the left of the hex rod.

NOTE: Models with 2-Way Chute Control have only one cable to route through the cable guide.
