E-DIP CHUTE ROTATOR BRACKET

Replaced broken discharge chute and worn deflection plate

1. Put support under rear of frame.
2. Remove chute and belt cover. You can leave chute cables connected,
3. Free auger drive belt from top and bottom pulleys. Leave it loose in place.
4. Remove bolts holding auger/impeller housing to frame.
5. Tilt auger/impeller assembly forward from rear and lift clear of supporting bar on frame.
6. Remove impeller/auger drive pulley from the housing and auger drive shaft.
7. Remove shear bolts from impeller.
8. Remove auger bearings and retainers from each side of auger housing.
9. Pull auger/impeller assembly forward out of housing, freeing the drive shaft.
10. (I took the housing to a machine shop to weld the crack in the impeller housing.)
11. Mount the new impeller on the shaft and tighten shear bolts.
12. Put auger bearing retainers back on the ends of the auger shaft.
12. Move the auger into the housing, running the drive shaft back through the rear bearing.
13. Re-attach the bearings to the auger shaft and bolt through the housing to the retainers.
14. Re-attach the drive pulley on the outside back of the housing.
15. Re-hang the auger/impeller housing on motor frame crossbar.
16. Re-attach bolts holding auger/impeller housing to the motor frame.
17. Re-attach the auger/impeller drive belt over pulleys and inside the idler. Check that the auger/impeller control tightens the auger/impeller belt properly.
18. Re-attach the belt cover and corner discharge bracket.
19. Re-attach the chute.
20. Blow some snow.

Note: You may need to remove and re-attach the impeller/auger drive shaft bearings at the rear of the housing to ease auger/impeller re-assembly to the housing. That wasn't necessary for me.
