Proper plunger operation helps the chute hold its position and adjust smoothly when released. If the chute will not stay locked, slips out of position, or is difficult to release for adjustment, the plunger rod may be worn, bent, or damaged. Incomplete engagement or sticking can also affect chute control. Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Install the plunger rod in the correct orientation, verify smooth engagement and release, and secure all related hardware so the chute operates correctly.
