ADJUST THE DRAG ON THE CHUTE
ROTATION
Note: After repeated use, the chute rotation gear may
loosen, causing the chute to move back to the center
position.
Adjust the drag by tightening the nut (A, Figure 25).
Tightening the nut will limit the chute from moving without
the operator turning the chute rotation crank.
