Note: Ensure that the chute retainer guide pins are in the holes in the chute gear.

3. Tighten the screw and the locknut on the left side to position the chute retainer against the chute retainer plate and to secure the discharge chute to the chute ring (Fig. 4).

4. Push the other chute retainers toward the discharge chute (slotted) and tighten the screws (Fig. 4).

5. Ensure that the chute rotates freely on the chute ring. If the chute binds, move the right-hand retainer outward (Fig. 4).
