Locating Discharge Opening
1. The last bolt hole in the chute should line up with the center of the discharge chute opening that is to
be cut. Therefore, you should be able to approximate an opening by measuring 9-1/2 in. above and
below the last bolt hole of the chute. Mark horizontal cut lines.
2. To find the vertical center of the chute opening, measure over 11 in. to the right and left of the chute
bolt rows. Mark center point. Then from the center point, measure 7 in. on both sides and mark
vertical cut lines.
3. Cut opening where marked, make sure corners have a minimum of 1-1/2 in. radius.
NOTE:
Center of discharge opening should be located approximately 14 in. down from the top of the
