5.Insert the other end of the chute control rod into the coupler below the handle panel. Make sure to line up the flat end of the rod and the flat end of the coupler. You may need to rotate the rod around until these two surfaces line up. See Figure 3-7 inset.

Figure 3-7

6.Push the chute control rod toward the control panel until the hole in the rod lines up with the middle hole in the chute control input and insert the cotter pin. See Figure 3-8.

NOTE: There is a reference hole provided at rear end of control rod to help know when holes are vertical.

Figure 3-8

NOTE: The hole furthest from the chute control head is used to achieve further engagement of the chute control rod into the coupler if required. Refer to the Maintenance & Adjustments section for Chute Control Rod adjustment. The hole closest to the chute control head is used for manual movement of the chute assembly if required. Refer to the Controls & Features section.

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

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