Note:

 In the next step the 1/4-20 Bolts and Locknuts are pre-installed on the Guard 

Assembly to keep the parts in the correct order.

Using a 7/16" on the Locknut and 3/8" wrench on the Bolt, remove a 
Locknut from one of the Chipper Chute Guard Bolts, position it in the 
Chipper Chute, and loosely reinstall the Locknut (

).  Repeat for the 

second Locknut.  Fully tighten both Locknuts.

Attach the Chipper Chute onto the Housing Studs and secure with three 
5/16-18 Flange Locknuts using a 1/2" Wrench.

Secure one side of the Discharge Deflector at the two mounting locations

Wrench (

). 

2.

 

Fold the Discharge Deflector over and attach the other side as in step 1.
