Installing the Discharge Chute

When installing the discharge chute, two different installation

instructions exist. For the 54” Fabricated deck units, the

discharge chute elbow mounts directly onto the cutting deck.

For the 50” and 54” stamped decks, an adapter must first be

installed. Be sure to follow the instructions that pertain to the

unit you are installing this bagger on.

54” Fabricated Deck Units:

1. Raise the deck to its highest position.

2. Raise the chute deflector (1 in Figure 4-19) on the deck and

hold it while you position the discharge chute over the

chute opening.

Figure 4-19

3. Insert the end of the discharge chute elbow (2) into the

hole provided in the deck wheel mount as shown in the

inset of Figure 4-19.

4. Pivot the discharge chute rearward until the hole in the

discharge chute elbow aligns with the pin on the deck.

Move the discharge elbow down onto that pin as shown in

3 of Figure 4-19.

6. Secure the flexible hose extension to the upper chute

assembly using the (726-05019) hose clamp included in

hardware pack 689-00342.

Figure 4-17

Note: Orientate the hose clamp so that it aligns over the

wide adhesive rubber strip previously installed on the

chute extension tube, and the excess from the clamp

points inward and down with the tightening screw facing

outward. See the inset of Figure 4-17.

Note: It is best to only snug-fit this clamp in this phase as

you will be instructed to tighten it later once the discharge

chute is installed on the tractor and adjusted.

7. Apply the other wide adhesive rubber strip, included in

Hardware Pack 689-00342, onto the upper end of the

discharge chute elbow. Place the adhesive strip up against

the ridge in the upper portion of the discharge chute

elbow, as detailed in the inset of Figure 4-18.
