Set-Up
Chute Control Cable Routing (If
Equipped)
For units equipped with 2-way or 4-way chute
control joystick, electric chute control and/or
chute-pitch controls, ensure control cables are
routed properly.
Chute control cables are routed through a
single wire guide (a) on top of the engine and/
or through two wire guides (b) located on the
left side of the unit. See Figure 2-46.
NOTE: On units equipped with a cable tie
securing the cables to the rear of the gas tank,
pull the cables toward the chute and pull the
cable tie snug to secure the cables in place.
NOTE: For smoothest operation, cables should
all be to the left of the chute directional
control rod (c).
NOTE: The number of cables routed through
the wire guides will depend on unit model.
1. Locate cable guide(s) and perform the
following:
• Units with Top Mounted Wire Guide (a) -
Check that all cables are properly routed
through cable guide on top of engine.
See Figure 2-46.
• Units with Side Mounted Wire Guides
(b) - Check that all cables are properly
routed through the wire guide below
the left side of the engine and the wire
guide below the chute control head.
See Figure 2-46.
