Additional information

This chute plug, part number 731-07708, installs into an opening in the chute assembly to prevent snow, ice, and debris from entering areas where they can interfere with chute operation. A properly seated plug helps maintain smooth discharge and protects internal components.

If snow leaks through an unused opening, ice builds up inside the chute, or the plug is loose, cracked, or missing, the chute plug may no longer seal properly. Poor fit or damage can allow debris to enter the chute assembly.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Press the plug firmly into the chute opening until it seats fully and stays secure during operation.
