Additional information

This chute control hand grip, part number 720-04174, fits onto the chute control handle to give you a secure, comfortable surface when adjusting the discharge direction. A properly fitted grip helps improve control and reduces hand fatigue during operation.

If the grip is cracked, loose, missing, or slips while you turn the chute control, it may be worn or damaged. Exposed metal or reduced traction can also make chute adjustments harder to control.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the old grip if present, then press the new grip fully onto the handle so it seats securely and does not twist during use.
