Additional Information

The snowblower clutch fork, part number 03221100, installs in the drive control system and shifts linkage movement when the clutch control is operated. Its position and movement allow the clutch to engage and disengage as you control drive or auger operation.

You might notice the drive or auger does not engage when the control is activated, disengages unexpectedly, or feels inconsistent during use. Limited movement, excessive play, or visible bending in the fork can also prevent proper clutch operation.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The clutch fork installs near moving linkage and metal brackets, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Make sure the fork moves freely through its full range and the clutch engages correctly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
