ATTACHING THE CHUTE ASSEMBLY (Hardware F)
1.Place chute assembly over chute opening, with the opening in the chute assembly facing the front of the unit. Place chute flange keepers beneath lip of chute assembly, with the flat side of chute flange keeper facing downward.
2.Insert hex bolt (K) up through chute flange keeper and chute assembly as shown in Figure 11. Secure with hex lock nut (M). After assembling all three chute flange keepers, tighten all nuts and bolts securely. Do not overtighten.
Note: Locknuts cannot be threaded onto a bolt by hand. Tighten with 2 7/16” wrenches. This type of nut is used where vibration occurs.
ATTACHING THE CHUTE CRANK (Hardware G)
1.Loosen the two hex nuts which secure the chute crank support bracket (see Figure 12) to the snow thrower housing.
2.Place one flat washer over the end of the chute crank, then insert the end of the crank into the hole in the plastic bushing in the chute bracket. See Figure 13. Place second flat washer on chute crank, and secure with hairpin clip.
3.Thread one hex nut (D) onto the eyebolt on the chute crank assembly until there is at least two inches of threads showing between the nut and the head of the eyebolt. See Figure 14.
4.Place the eyebolt into the hole located half way up the left handle. Secure with cupped washer
(N)(cupped side against the handle, see inset, Figure 14) and hex nut (D).
5.Adjust the chute crank support bracket (see Figure 13) so that the spiral on the chute crank fully engages the teeth on the chute assembly. Tighten the nuts on the chute crank bracket securely. Tighten the hex nuts on the eyebolt.
6.Check to make sure all nuts and bolts on the control panel and all four bolts which secure the handles to the frame are tight.
