ASSEMBLY Set-Up CHUTE CONTROL CABLE ROUTING (IF EQUIPPED) For models equipped with 2-way or 4-way chute controls, electric chute control and/or chute-pitch controls, ensure control cables are routed properly. Chute control cables are routed through a single wire guide (a) on top of the engine and/or through two wire guides (b) located on the front and left side of the engine (Figure 35). NOTE: On models equipped with a cable tie securing the cables to the rear of the gas tank, pull the cables toward the chute and pull the cable tie snug to secure the cables in place.

CHUTE CONTROL CABLE ROUTING ±IF EQUIPPED²
For models equipped with 2-way or 4-way chute controls,
electric chute control and/or chute-pitch controls, ensure control
cables are routed properly.
Chute control cables are routed through a single wire guide (a) on
top of the engine and/or through two wire guides (b) located on
the front and left side of the engine (Figure 35).
NOTE:
On models equipped with a cable tie securing the cables to
the rear of the gas tank, pull the cables toward the chute and pull
the cable tie snug to secure the cables in place.
NOTE:
For smoothest operation, cables should all be to the left of
the chute control rod (c).
NOTE:
The number of cables routed through the wire guides will
vary depending on model.
1.
Locate cable guide(s) and perform the following:
Top Mounted Wire Guide (a) -
Check that all cables are
properly routed through cable guide on top of engine
(Figure 35).
Front and Side Mounted Wire Guides (b) -
Check that all
cables are properly routed through the wire guide below the
left side of the engine and the wire guide
below the chute
control head (Figure 35).
