Installing the Chute Control
Rod
Parts needed for this procedure:
2 Carriage bolts
2 Locknuts
Procedure
1. Unwrap the Quick Stick and rotate it so that it is
upright and in the center.
2. Hold the blue trigger cap down and pull the lever fully
rearward.
Note: The discharge chute and deflector should face
forward. If they do not, hold the blue trigger cap
down (but do not move the Quick Stick) and rotate the
discharge chute until they do.
3. Align the flattened back end of the long chute control
rod with the flattened front end of the short rod
that extends from the control panel so that they nest
together (Figure 9).

insert 2 carriage bolts (in the loose parts bag) through
the short rod from the left side of the machine (from
the operating position).
6. Insert the cable clip that supports the deflector
cable onto the forward carriage bolt, and secure the
carriage bolts with locknuts from the loose parts bag
(Figure 11).
