Additional information
This discharge chute assembly mounts on top of the auger housing and channels snow away from the machine as the impeller turns. Snowblower discharge chute assembly 588077803 rotates to let you aim snow left or right while clearing.
If snow sprays unpredictably, the chute will not rotate smoothly, or cracks or warping are visible, the chute assembly may be damaged. Binding during rotation, loose mounting points, or difficulty holding a set direction are common signs replacement is needed.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair. Support the chute as you remove mounting hardware to prevent it from dropping. Align the chute correctly on the base ring, secure all fasteners tightly, and confirm smooth rotation before restoring power.
