and the bottom of the auger/impeller control lever
(Fig. 11). The distance should be approximately four
inches (10.2 cm).

6. Press the auger/impeller control lever slowly toward
the handgrip. The amount of force to compress the
lever will increase noticeably when you remove the
slack from the drive belt (approximately one-half of
lever movement). The adjustment is correct when the
force begins to increase and the distance between the
top of the handgrip and the bottom of the
auger/impeller control lever is two inches (5.1 cm).
Note:
If the force does not noticeably increase, remove
the belt cover (refer to Replacing the Auger/ Impeller
Drive Belt, steps 1 and 2, on page 21) and measure the
one- to two-inch (2.5 to 5.1 cm) dimension above the
handgrip at the point where there is no slack in the auger
drive belt.

4. Two inches (5.1 cm)
7. Adjust the two flange locknuts, if necessary, to obtain
this dimension.
8. Tighten the two flange locknuts securely (Fig. 10).

Installing the Discharge Chute

1. Apply a light coat of low-temperature grease to the
chute ring.
2. Set the discharge chute (open side forward) onto the
auger discharge opening so that the plastic chute
retainers are on the chute ring (Fig. 12).
3. Tighten the machine screw and the locknut on the left
side to position the plastic chute retainer against the
chute retainer plate and to secure the discharge chute
to the chute ring (Fig. 12).
4. Push the chute retainers on the right side toward the
discharge chute (slotted) and tighten the machine
screw (Fig. 12).
5. Ensure that the chute rotates freely on the chute ring.
If the chute binds, move the right-hand retainer
outward (Fig. 12).
