Additional Information

The snowblower chute crank, part number 03247700, lets you adjust the discharge chute direction by turning the crank handle. Smooth crank movement allows precise control so snow is directed where you want it during operation.

You might notice the chute is difficult to turn, moves unevenly, or does not respond consistently when the crank is rotated. Excess play, binding, or a crank that spins without moving the chute can also indicate wear or damage.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The chute crank operates near moving chute components and metal brackets, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Make sure the crank turns smoothly and the chute responds correctly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
