There are 4 capscrews that hold the chute gear
assembly to the housing. Two are visible in Figure 13.
There will be 2 identical capscrews on the other side.
Loosen all 4 capscrews. Rotate the chute to find the
tightest point. Adjust the clearance so that a 1/16"
(1.6mm) drill bit will fit between the top of the tooth on
the worm gear and the valley between two teeth on the
chute ring gear (Figure 14). Grasp the chute rod and
push it to the front. Hold the rod and tighten the
capscrews. Remove the drill bit.
