Note: The chute slides into the base, if the
chute fits tightly use a light lubricant to assist
installation. In some cases the chute lip may
have excess material from manufacturing, it
is acceptable to carefully remove some
material from the chute lip in order to allow
the chute to slide into the chute base.
