Additional information
This speed selector assembly, part number 722087, connects the speed control lever to the drive system so you can choose different forward speeds while operating the snowblower. Proper linkage movement helps ensure smooth speed changes and predictable drive response.
If the snowblower will not change speeds, slips out of the selected speed, or feels loose when adjusting the control, the speed selector assembly may be worn, bent, or out of adjustment. Inconsistent movement or binding in the control can also affect speed selection.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Install the assembly carefully, making sure all linkage connections move freely and are adjusted correctly so the selected speed engages fully.
