1.  Locate the connection:  The chute rotation cable connection is located at 
the base of the discharge chute between the engine and the discharge chute. 

2.  Slide the threaded end of the connector down the 
cable in order to easily see the end of the cable con-
nection.  The center section should be about 3/4” to 
1” beyond the end of the cable. 

NOTE:  There is nothing wrong if the end of the cen-
ter section of the cable protrudes more than about 
3/4” to 1” beyond the end of the cable. 
The center section can be easily pushed back into 
the cable. 

3.  Align the center section with the cable chute rotator.  The end 
of the center section is square and requires proper alignment in 
order to correctly connect to the machine. 

4.  Press the cable toward the chute rotator screw.  The end of the 
cable should touch the end of the chute rotator.   

If the surfaces do not contact, continue to apply pressure and 
slowly rotate the discharge chute direction handle on the control 
panel so the center of the cable aligns itself on both ends. 

5.  Slide the threaded end from Step 2 toward the chute rotator, 
and thread the end onto the chute rotator. 

IMPORTANT:  Finger tighten firmly.  Inspect before each use to make certain 
the connection doesn’t loosen during operation of the machine.
