Additional Information

The snowblower handle lever bumper, part number 723949, mounts where the handle lever makes contact with the snowblower frame or housing. It cushions impact and helps reduce metal-on-metal contact, which can lessen noise and wear over time.

If the handle lever makes a loud or sharp noise when released, feels harsh when it strikes the housing, or you notice premature wear on the lever contact area, the handle lever bumper may be worn, cracked, or missing. A degraded bumper can also make the lever feel less secure or produce vibration during operation.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The bumper installs near metal handle components and edges, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Press the bumper into place so it sits snugly against the contact surface before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
