INSTALLING CHUTE AND PIVOT BAR
(OPTIONAL)
1. Assemble the chute and cylinder linkage as shown
in figure 13.
2. Connect the hydraulic piping as shown in the Re-
pair Parts - Hydraulic Components - Conveyor with
Chute section located in this book.
3. To adjust the folded position of the chute, raise the
conveyor fully and lock in this position using the stop
pin on the fold limiter arm. Next actuate the chute cyl-
inder causing the chute to fold fully. To reduce the
amount the chute folds, extend the cylinder to the de-
sired location and move the stop collar located on the
chute cylinder rod down the rod. To increase the
amount the chute folds, move the collar further up the
rod. Standard conveyers typically need to have the
stop collar set down the rod to prevent the chute from
contacting the mixer body. Due to their longer length,
extended conveyors typically can have the stop collar
set at the top of the cylinder. Further adjustment of the
chute position can be achieved by threading the Cylin-
der Extension further onto or off of the cylinder rod.
4. Typically the lowered position of the chute is limited
by the mechanical interference of the bottom of the
chute and the bottom of the conveyor. If however it
does not lower to this position, the cylinder extension
can be threaded off of the cylinder rod to tilt the chute
further down.
