    Question:
    HI,

    I just purchased an ST224 from Lowes. When I got it home tonight to test it I noticed that the chute seems awfully loose and moves around even after I set the direction from the controls. I am thinking this is an issue with the cable tension but it seems as if they are as tight as they can go. Any ideas? Is this normal?

      In the manual it says:

      TO ADJUST CHUTE ROTATOR CABLE TENSION

      (See Fig. 23)

      1. Adjust cable tension by loosening the jam nut next to

      the turn buckle.

      2. Grasp the short section and hold while turning the long

      section to lengthen the adjuster.

      3. Adjust until cable is snug and tighten jam nuts.

       

      Is everything else on right?  Was the chute aligned when the sprint was put on and the hex nut tightened?
