DISCHARGE CONTROL

ADJUSTMENT

If the discharge chute is difficult to operate, first lubricate the pinion gear (A, Figure 27) and ring gear (F, Figure

27). If it is still difficult to operate, adjust as follows:

1.Loosen the nut (G, Figure 27) which holds the pinion gear bracket in the slotted hole.

2.If the pinion gear is too tight against the ring gear, move it away slightly and then retighten the nut.

3.Check the operation again.

CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE

The air pressure in each tire (Figure 29) should be 20 psi (136 kPa) and should be equal for both tires for best per- formance. Be sure to keep caps on valves to prevent entry of debris into the valve stem when tires are filled.
