Additional Information

The snowblower handle panel lens, part number 731-05320, installs over the handle panel to shield indicators or display areas from snow, moisture, and debris. It helps keep control information visible while protecting underlying components.

You might notice the lens is cracked, cloudy, or missing, making it harder to read indicators on the handle panel. Another sign can be moisture buildup behind the lens or loose fitment that allows debris to enter the panel area.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The lens mounts near control hardware and panel edges, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Clean the mounting surface and seat the lens evenly to ensure a secure fit before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
