Additional information

This chute control motor cover, part number 731-2611, mounts over the electric chute control motor to help shield it from snow, ice, and debris during operation. Proper coverage helps protect the motor and supports reliable chute adjustment.

If the motor is exposed, debris builds up around the chute control area, or the cover is cracked or missing, the motor may be more prone to damage or moisture-related issues. Loose or broken mounting points can also prevent the cover from staying in place.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Position the cover correctly over the motor, secure it evenly with the mounting hardware, and make sure it does not interfere with motor movement or wiring.
