CONTROLS/LOCATION AND OPERATION
To keep the chute in the desired position, a spring
loaded chute detent is located in the rear of the
housing (Figure 25). As the chute is rotated manually,
a ratchet sound indicates that the detent is working
properly. As the handle, housing, and chute retainer
are all made of plastic, no lubrication is necessary
Figure 25 1854-40
To access the chute assembly, remove the 4 screws
holding the chute retainer to the housing and remove
the chute retainer. The chute assembly can then be
pulled forward and removed from the housing.
Reassembly is accomplished by installing the springs
on the chute detent and installing the chute detent into
the rotor housing. The chute assembly can be slid into
place and the chute retainer installed (Figure 24).
20” CCR Manual Chute System
Some 20” CCR models were equipped with a manual
chute system. As with the others, the component parts
are all plastic to eliminate the need for lubrication and
reduce icing.
On this version, the discharge chute attaches to the
handle and chute ring. Three carriage head bolts and
washers connect the parts. Below the upper shroud is
the balance of the chute components.
To access the balance of the chute parts, remove the 3
carriage bolts and nuts at the base of the discharge
chute (Figure 26). Remove the chute, deflector and
handle. The upper shroud must now be removed.
Remove the bolt in each front corner.
Figure 26 1854-12
Remove the 2 screws holding the nameplate to the
chassis. Allow the nameplate to hang loose from the
starter rope (the nameplate has 3 tabs that engage the
upper shroud). Remove the two bolts and locknuts,
one in each front corner of the shroud and 2 screws,
one in each rear corner of the shroud (Figure 27 and
Figure 28).
