3.6. DISCHARGE SPOUT & THRUST ADJUSTER
• Attach discharge spout with

7/16” x 1-1/4” bolts and lock-
nuts.
• The thrust adjuster is designed
to transfer some pressure from
the lower flight bearing to the
upper flight bearing.
• Remove cover and 5/8”
whiz nuts.
• Loosen the set screw on
the lock collar and disen-
gage the lock collar from
the bearing to allow free
movement of the flight
shaft.
• Turn the 1-1/2” nut until it is snug against the bushing, then turn it so that
the flight shaft moves an additional 1/4” (0.64 cm).
• Secure the lock collar and tighten the set screw.
• Re-install the cover over the two longer 5/8” bolts. Secure with two 5/8”
whiz nuts.
