control rod as shown in Figure 11.
3. Insert the upper control rod through the loop in the
lower link (Fig. 11).
4. Thread a flange locknut (flange side up) onto the
bottom of the upper control rod below the loop in the
lower link (Fig. 11).
5. Check the distance between the top of the handgrip and

6. Press the auger/impeller drive control lever slowly
toward the handgrip.
Note: The amount of force needed to compress the
lever increases noticeably when you remove the slack
from the auger/impeller drive belt (approximately

distance between the top of the handgrip and the bottom
of the auger/impeller drive control lever is two inches
(five centimeters) as shown in Figure 12.
Note: If the force does not noticeably increase, remove
the belt cover (refer to steps 1 and 2 of Replacing the
Auger/Impeller Drive Belt on page 25) and measure
two inches (five centimeters) above the handgrip at the
point where you remove the slack from the
auger/impeller drive belt.
7. Adjust the flange nut and the flange locknut (Fig. 11), if
necessary, to obtain the proper dimension between the
top of the handgrip and the bottom of the auger/impeller
drive control lever.
8. Tighten the nuts securely.

2. Set the discharge chute (open side forward) onto the
discharge opening so that the chute retainers are on the
chute ring (Fig. 13).
3. Tighten the screw and the locknut on the left side to
position the chute retainer against the chute retainer
plate and to secure the discharge chute to the chute ring
(Fig. 13).
4. Push the other chute retainers toward the discharge
chute (slotted), and tighten the screws (Fig. 13).
5. Ensure that the chute rotates freely on the chute ring. If
the chute binds, move the right-hand retainer outward
(Fig. 13).
