CHUTE ATTACHMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Chute Assembly – Center Belt Drive
Hydraulic Hopper
NOTE: Chute Assembly is a two person activity.
1.
26" Chute Only
- Remove the access panel on
the back of the chute housing.
2. Remove belt guard from hopper.
3. Loosely attach the chute assembly using four
3/8" x 1" carriage bolts, flat washers, lock
washers, and nuts with the heads of the bolts on
the inside of the chute.
4. Push the chute assembly toward the front of the
vehicle. DO NOT tighten the bolts at this time.
5. Install the belt between the spinner shaft pulley
and the gear case pulley. Raise chute up to
bottom of engine base and tighten four mounting
bolts.
6. Verify the pulleys are in line and
the set screws
are tight.
(You may have to lower the pulley on the
chute about 2 inches).
7. To adjust belt tension, loosen the spinner shaft
bearing bolts and move the spinner shaft away
from the gear case. Correct belt tension allows 1/
4" to 5/16" deflection midway between the pulleys
when belt is pushed with your finger. Make sure
the spinner shaft is vertical and the pulleys are
lined up before retightening the fasteners.
8. Additional belt tension may be applied by pulling
the chute assembly toward the rear.
9. Install belt guard.
10.
26" Chute Only
- Secure the access panel onto
the chute housing.
11. Tighten all fasteners according to the torque chart.
CAUTION
Over-tightening the belts may damage the
bearings on the gear case, the engine, and/or
the spinner shaft. Over-tightening will also
shorten the life of the belt.
