Additional information
This chute control cover, part number 731-06906, installs over the chute control mechanism to help shield it from snow, ice, and debris while allowing smooth chute adjustment. Proper coverage helps protect internal components and supports reliable chute operation.
If debris builds up around the chute control, the control binds during adjustment, or the cover is cracked or missing, the mechanism may be exposed to damage. Broken mounting points or poor fit 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.
