Attaching Chute Assembly (Hardware Group A)
•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.
•Insert hex cap screw up through chute flange keeper and chute assembly and secure with hex lock nut. After assembling all three chute flange keepers, tighten all nuts and bolts securely with two 7/16” wrenches. Do not overtighten. See Figure 4A.
•With the hex nuts loosened on the lower chute crank bracket (See Figure 4B) adjust the bracket so that the spiral on the chute crank fully engages the teeth on the chute assembly. Tighten the nuts on the lower chute crank bracket securely.
