Additional information

This 2-way chute control cover, part number 731-05307, mounts over the chute control mechanism to shield it from snow, ice, and debris while still allowing full range of motion. Proper coverage helps protect internal components and supports smooth chute adjustments.

If the chute control binds, debris builds up around the mechanism, or the cover is cracked or missing, the control components may be exposed and more prone to damage. Loose or broken mounting points can also prevent the cover from staying in place.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Position the cover correctly over the chute control mechanism, then secure it evenly so it does not interfere with control movement.
