chute assembly over chute opening, making

sure the flange keepers are beneath lip of chute
adapter. The notches should engage with the spiral
end of the chute crank. See Figure 3-5.

• Secure flange keeper, locknuts and screws previously

removed. Tighten all flange keepers and hardware
with two 7/16” wrenches. Do not over tighten.

NOTE: If necessary the chute crank support bracket can
be adjusted so the spiral on the chute crank fully engages
the teeth on the chute assembly. Refer to the Adjustment
Section.

the handle panel to the discharge chute into the cable
guide located on top of the engine. See Figure 3-6.

• Wrap the wire from the head lamp down the right
