3) ELECTROCUTION: Prevent electrocution by choosing an area that is free of electric
cables. If cables are present, contact your local electrical authority before proceeding.
4) THE CHUTE MUST HANG VERTICALLY: To reduce the risk of a blockage, choose an
area where the chute will hang vertically. Horizontal displacement of the chute must not
exceed 20% of the chute’s height. See the sketch below.
If the chute does not hang vertically,
debris will rub against the chute wall.
This friction will cause the speed of the
moving debris to decrease, possibly to
the point where debris stops moving,
thereby creating a blockage.
5) PROTRUSIONS THAT CONSTRICT THE CHUTE: Choose an area that will not force
the chute to bend over balconies, ledges or any other kind of large structural protrusion that
will constrict the chute. The next page provides further information on this subject.
