Using Discharge Tunnel Plug
1. Make sure engine is off. Open the discharge door by
pulling forward on the handle and moving it rearwards
(Fig. 14). Hold the discharge door handle to prevent
the spring–loaded door from closing while inserting
the plug.
2. Since the plug is slightly wider than the discharge
tunnel opening, you must rotate the plug clockwise
slightly while inserting it (Fig. 14). Make sure the
arrow on the plug decal is pointing upwards.

4. To remove the plug, move the discharge door handle
rearwards while at the same time lift up the spring clip
on the bottom of the plug. When the plug is unlocked,
