Additional Information
Snowblower lower chute 631-04131B attaches to the top of the auger housing and channels snow into the upper chute for discharge. It plays a key role in ensuring smooth snow flow and consistent throwing performance during operation.
If the chute is cracked, warped, or obstructed, snow may clog or discharge unevenly. Replacing a damaged lower chute helps restore proper snow flow and prevents buildup that could affect performance or cause strain on the auger system.
Before installing, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the old chute, align the new one with the housing and upper chute, and secure it with the provided hardware. Make sure the chute pivots freely before operating. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation.
