9. Tighten the lock nut and reinstall the pivot
adjuster into the gate pivot and secure with the

10. Repeat steps 4 through 9 until the discharge gate
is properly adjusted.
The discharge gate is properly adjusted in the open
position when the gate handle hits the fully open
stop and the discharge gate makes contact, or almost
makes contact, with the discharge deflector.
If the discharge gate does not open fully, repeat steps
4 through 9 to readjust. The discharge gate will not
close as tight against the discharge opening after this
adjustment is made.
