Additional information
This chute deflector control cable connects the deflector control to the chute assembly so you can raise or lower the deflector during operation. Snowblower chute deflector control cable 590587002 routes through the handle and chute control system to transmit movement smoothly.
If the deflector does not move, sticks in position, or responds unevenly when adjusted, the cable may be stretched, kinked, or damaged. Increased effort at the control, delayed movement, or visible wear along the cable housing are common signs replacement may be needed.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair. Note the original cable routing and attachment points before removal to prevent binding after installation. Route the new cable along the same path and confirm smooth deflector movement before restoring power.
