Chute Assembly (Overhead Chute Control)
If the chute fails to remain stationary during operation, the
pre-load of the chute can be adjusted by tightening the hex nut
found on the front of the chute control assembly.
To increase the preload, tighten the hex nut clockwise in ¼ turn
intervals. See Figure 6-9.

intervals.
