assembly together. Make sure the gear
components stay in place.
12. Align the holes on the end of the chute
rod with the alignment marks on the
gear assembly and slide the chute rod
end, without a small hairpin, through the
gear assembly, through the hook on the
chute lock cable, and into the hex hole in
the control assembly (Figure 10).
IMPORTANT: The hook on the chute lock
cable will prevent the control cable from
contacting the engine or muffler guard.
NOTE: After the chute rod has been inserted
through the hex hole in the control assembly,
placing the unit in the service position (see
Service Position on page 22) will ease
alignment and installation of the large hairpin.
13. Secure the chute rod to the control
assembly with large hairpin removed in
step 5. Use the hole location as shown
in Figure 12. Insert the large hairpin with
the loop end to the left of the chute rod
so the chute control assembly lever
follows a full range of travel.
