cables should have minimal slack, but not tight.
Tighten or loosen hex nuts on “Z” fittings to adjust.
IMPORTANT: If the right lock-out cable is not adjusted,
the wheels will tend to turn. If the left lock-out cable is
not adjusted, the augers will keep on rotating.
NOTE: The drive clutch cable is routed over the axle.
NOTE: Two extra jam nuts are included in the hardware
pack (Group E) in the event either are lost during
shipping.

• Insert hex bolt up through chute flange keeper and
chute assembly and secure with hex lock nut. After
assembling all three chute flange keepers, tighten
all nuts and bolts securely. Do not overtighten.
