Installing the Hydraulic Chute Rotator Safety Shield with Hose Guide
The Hydraulic Chute Rotator has rods that act as guides to guide the Defl ector Hydraulic Hose

All Shields are manufactured with the Rods straight.
They may need to be bent in or out for smaller or larger blowers.

Rods
Outside of the rods need to
be slightly inside the root of
the gear teeth as shown
To bend the rod, you can use a short piece of 3/8 pipe for a lever, or an adjustable wrench to
bend the rod.
Do not use a hammer as it has less control of the bend.
Keep the height of the rod the same, only bend it in or out.
After installation carefully rotate the chute to ensure that there is no interference or binding
.
