5.   Install the mounting bases. 

Bolt the mounting bases to the 

chute with the bolts provided 

(Fig. 5).

6.   Install the blade cartridge. 

Place the blade cartridge onto 

the centre pole. Adjust the 

extender poles until the holes 

align with the holes in 

the centre pole and lock the cartridge into place with the two bolts, 

washers and nuts (Fig. 6). NOTE: Be sure at least 150mm of the extender 

pole extends out of the mounting base on each side for tensioner 

installation. Adjust the extender poles in the centre pole if more or less 

length is needed.

 

 

Section 4 – Installation Instructions

2.  Lay out the dimensions on the chute wall. Measure out the X dimension 

horizontally from the centre of the pulley shaft and mark. (NOTE: It may be 

easier to put a level on top of the pulley shaft, draw a horizontal line and then 

measure down half the diameter of the shaft and make a line from the front of 

the shaft. Now subtract half the pulley shaft diameter from the X coordinate 

and measure on the line and make a mark.) Then measure down vertically the 

Y dimension and mark. This is the correct position for the centre of the cleaner 

pole (Fig. 2). Lay out and mark the same dimensions on the other side.

3.  Mark and cut the mounting base holes. Using the 

mounting base template provided in the instruction packet, 

position the large pole hole of the template on the chute with 

the hole notches aligned with the layout lines. Trace the pole 

hole and mounting holes (Fig. 3). Each base can be mounted 

in any position 360° around the pole as long as the pole’s 

centre point does not change. Cut the holes on both sides of 

the chute.

4.  Assemble the extender poles to the centre pole. Insert the 

extender poles through the chute holes and into the centre 

pole and make sure the locating bolt holes align with the 

centre pole holes (holes are offset to the lower half). Position 

the centre pole with the welded nuts and locking bolts on 

one side facing down and on the adjoining side facing away 

from the head pulley (Fig. 4). Leave the locking bolts loose.
