Additional information

This electric chute coupler, part number 731-08795, links the chute rotation motor to the chute mechanism so motor movement transfers smoothly to the chute. A properly fitted coupler helps ensure responsive, consistent chute rotation when you use the electric controls.

If the chute motor runs but the chute does not turn, turns intermittently, or slips under load, the coupler may be worn, cracked, or stripped. Excessive play or visible damage can prevent proper power transfer.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Install the coupler securely between the motor and chute components, and confirm the chute rotates smoothly without binding before reassembly.
