Assembling and Configuring the Discharge Chute

Before installing the discharge chute onto your tractor, some

components must first be assembled onto the upper chute,

chute extension and discharge chute elbow. The following

instructions for assembling and configuring the discharge chute:

NOTE: Check the upper chute for a cardboard insert installed

for shipping purposes. If the insert is present, remove it before

continuing with Step 1.

foam strips that has been included with your grass

collector. Apply it to the upper chute, flush against the

flange as shown in Figure 4-14.

strip and apply it to the bottom edge of the upper chute

tube, flush against the edge as shown in Figure 4-14.

Note: Be careful not to cover any holes on the upper chute

tube when applying the self -adhesive foam strip.
