Additional Information

The snowblower 2-way chute control cable, part number 946-04722, connects the chute control lever to the chute mechanism so you can change discharge direction while clearing snow. The cable moves when you operate the control, allowing the chute to rotate left or right.

If you notice the chute will not turn, responds slowly, or feels stiff or loose when you move the control, the cable may be stretched, kinked, or broken. A common sign is a control lever that moves without changing the chute position.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The cable routing may pass near sharp metal edges or moving parts, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Route the new cable the same way as the original and secure all attachment points before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
