ATTACHING THE CHUTE ASSEMBLY
(Hardware F)
1. Place chute assembly over chute opening, with
the opening in the chute assembly facing the
front of the unit. Place chute flange keepers
beneath lip of chute assembly, with the flat side
of chute flange keeper facing downward.
2. Insert hex bolt (K) up through chute flange
keeper and chute assembly as shown in Figure
11. Secure with hex lock nut (M). After
assembling all three chute flange keepers,
tighten all nuts and bolts securely. Do not
overtighten.
Note : Locknuts cannot be threaded onto a bolt by
hand. Tighten with 2 7/16" wrenches. This type of
nut is used where vibration occurs.
ATTACHING THE CHUTE CRANK
(Hardware G)
1. Loosen the two hex nuts which secure the
chute crank support bracket (see Figure 12) to
the snow thrower housing.
2. Place one flat washer over the end of the chute
crank, then insert the end of the crank into the
hole in the plastic bushing in the chute bracket.
See Figure 13. Place second flat washer on
chute crank, and secure with hairpin clip.
3. Thread one hex nut (D) onto the eyebolt on the
chute crank assembly until there is at least two
inches of threads showing between the nut and
the head of the eyebolt. See Figure 14.
4. Place the eyebolt into the hole located half way
up the left handle. Secure with cupped washer
(N) (cupped side against the handle, see inset,
Figure 14) and hex nut (D).
5. Adjust the chute crank support bracket (see
Figure 13) so that the spiral on the chute crank
fully engages the teeth on the chute assembly.
Tighten the nuts on the chute crank bracket
securely. Tighten the hex nuts on the eyebolt.
6. Check to make sure all nuts and bolts on the
control panel and all four bolts which secure the
handles to the frame are tight.
