Chute Rod Adjustment
If the chute fails to remain stationary during operation, increase
the preload on the chute control rod.
• While preventing the chute control rod from turning
tighten the nut on the chute gearbox assembly. See Fig.
6-7.
If the chute directional control is difficult to crank, decrease the
preload by loosening the hex nut counterclockwise in ¼ turn
intervals.
