D. Install Handlebars

1.Use the four 3/8-16 x 3/4" hex flange screws to attach the handlebars to the sides of the chassis.

a.Install a screw in the upper mount- ing hole (C, Figure 2-3) on each side. Leave screws loose enough to allow handlebar to pivot.

b.Install a screw (D) in the lower mounting hole on each side.

c.Using light pressure, press down on the left side handlebar and tighten the two screws. Repeat on the right side.

2.There are four pre-installed screws (E, Figure 2-3) on the inside of the handlebars that secure the control panel. Tighten each screw securely.

E. Install Discharge Chute

1.Remove the cardboard shield from the discharge chute mount opening.

2.Loosen (do not remove) the left and right-side sets of plastic shims (G, Figure 2-4) and plastic hold-down clips

(H)on the toothed flange (J) of the dis- charge chute assembly. Remove and save the remaining (front) hold-down clip, shim and mounting hardware.

3.From either side of the unit, slide the discharge chute onto the chute mount- ing flange (K, Figure 2-4), making sure that the plastic shims (G) are above the flange and the plastic hold-down clips (H) are below the flange. Tighten the clip mounting hardware securely (if necessary, rotate the discharge chute to the right to tighten the left- side clip).

4.Hook the front hold-down clip (H, Figure 2-4) under the mounting flange

(K)and place the front plastic shim (G) on top of the hold-down clip, between the top of the flange and the toothed chute flange. Secure with the mount- ing hardware previously removed.

5.Remove the plastic tie that secures the worm gear assembly (L, Figure 2-4) to the mounting bracket.
