Additional information
This snowblower upper chute, part number 931-04425B, attaches to the lower chute and channels snow away from the housing so you can aim where snow is thrown. A properly aligned upper chute helps you manage discharge direction for better clearing control.
If the upper chute cracks, bends, or becomes loose, snow may not discharge where you expect or could spray unpredictably. You might notice difficulty adjusting the chute or a chute that does not hold the set direction if the upper section is compromised.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental startup. Chute and frame areas can have sharp edges, so wearing work gloves can help protect your hands during installation. Make sure the upper chute is aligned correctly with associated components and all fasteners are tightened securely before using the snowblower.
Snowblower upper chute 931-04425B replaces part numbers 731-04425B and 934-04425A.
