Install Discharge Chute Crank
1. Remove the cover from the gear assembly on the
discharge chute.
2. Release the lock teeth on the gear assembly with
your finger and rotate the discharge chute 90 °
left.
3. Remove and save the hairpin from the control
assembly underneath the control panel.
NOTE: Do not remove the pin installed on the chute
rod.
NOTE: To ensure the discharge chute follows its full
range of travel, make sure the control lever is pushed
all the way to the left before installing and pinning the
chute rod.
4. Align the holes on the end of the chute rod with
the mark on the gear assembly and slide the end
without a pin through the gear assembly, through
the loop on the chute lock cable and into the hex
hole in the control assembly.
IMPORTANT: The loop will prevent the control cable
from contacting the engine or muffler guard. If the loop
gets damaged, loosely tie the cable to the control rod.
NOTE: After the chute rod has been inserted through
the hex hole in the control assembly, placing the unit in
the service position (see Service Position on page 19)
will ease alignment and installation of the hair pin.
5. Secure the chute rod to the control assembly with
the hair pin removed in step 3 using the proper
hole location as shown in Figure 7. Insert the hair
pin with the loop end to the left of the chute rod so
the control assembly follows a full range of travel.
