STEP 53: (SEE FIGURE 52)
• Coat the top of the ring around the discharge opening
with general purpose grease.
• Place the discharge chute (facing forward) onto the
ring. Place the anti-rotation bracket on top of the chute
fl ange, aligning it with the holes on the right hand side
of the fl ange. Attach the three chute keepers (BB)
(right side up as shown) to the bottom of the fl ange
using six 1/4" x 1" hex bolts (D), 1/4" fl at washers (P)
and 1/4" fl anged lock nuts (V).
Tighten carefully so
that the nuts are snug but do not dig into the plastic
chute keepers.
• Place the plastic cap (HH) onto the short end of the
anti-rotation bracket.
• Position the crank rod spiral (see fi gure 51) so that it
does not rub against the bottoms of the notches in the
chute fl ange.
Tighten the nuts.
• Check if the crank rod rotates the chute freely. If not,
loosen by 1/4 turn each of the six hex bolts holding
the chute keepers to the chute fl ange.
• Secure the control cables to the crank rod support
tube using a nylon tie (II).
STEP 54: (SEE FIGURE 53)
Skip this step if you have a lawn tractor.
This step is for garden tractors only.
• If you have a (GT) Garden Tractor, remove the stop
bolts from each side of the snow thrower frame.
STEP 52: (SEE FIGURE 51)
• Attach the chute crank rod assembly brackets to
the plastic bracket on the left side of the discharge
housing. Align the chute crank bracket beneath the
rod support bracket and assemble both to the plastic
bracket using two 5/16" x 1" carriage bolts (J), 5/16"
washers (Q) and 5/16" Nylock nuts (Y).
