Additional Information
Snowblower chute deflector 731-04426C attaches to the upper end of the discharge chute and directs the snow s throw height and distance. It helps you control where snow is discharged for efficient and precise clearing.
If snow sprays unevenly, doesn t travel far enough, or the deflector is cracked or loose, replacing it restores proper control over the chute s discharge angle. Keeping the deflector in good condition ensures safe and consistent snow removal performance.
Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the old deflector, align the new one with the mounting points, and secure it firmly. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation.
