Additional Information

The snowblower hand grip, part number 720-0204, slides onto the handle to give you a secure, comfortable surface for steering and operating the machine. The rubber construction helps improve control while reducing hand fatigue during use.

You might notice the grip slipping on the handle, tearing, or becoming hard and uncomfortable to hold. In colder conditions, a worn grip can also make it harder to maintain a steady hold, especially if the rubber has cracked or separated.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The grip installs on the handle area near metal tubing, so work gloves can help protect your hands while removing the old grip and sliding the new one into place. Make sure the grip is fully seated and secure before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
