Chute Control Cable Routing (If
Equipped)
For units equipped with 2-way or 4-way chute
control joystick, 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
left side of the unit.
NOTE: For smoothest operation, cables should
all be to the left of the chute directional control
rod.
NOTE: The number of cables routed through
the wire guides will depend on unit model.
1. Locate cable guide(s) and perform the
following:
• Units with Top Mounted Wire Guide (a) -
Check that all cables are properly routed
through cable guide on top of engine.
See Figure 2-49.
• Units with 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.
