Additional Information
The snowblower chute crank knob, part number 07508300, attaches to the end of the chute crank and gives you a comfortable, secure grip when adjusting chute direction. A properly secured knob makes fine adjustments easier while operating the snowblower.
If turning the chute crank feels awkward, slippery, or uncomfortable, or the crank is difficult to rotate by hand, the knob may be cracked, loose, or missing. Reduced control when changing chute direction can also point to wear at the knob connection.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The knob installs near moving chute components and metal brackets, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Secure the knob firmly and confirm smooth chute adjustment before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
