Additional information

This snowblower upper chute, part number 790-00529-0691, attaches to the lower chute and directs snow being thrown by the auger and impeller. Proper alignment of the upper chute helps you aim where snow is discharged and can improve clearing efficiency and control.

If the upper chute cracks, bends, or becomes loose, the snow may not discharge in the intended direction or could spray unpredictably. Misalignment can also cause extra resistance when turning the chute or make the control feel stiff or uneven during adjustment.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental startup. Chute edges and surrounding frame areas can have sharp surfaces, so wearing work gloves can help protect your hands during installation. Make sure the upper chute is aligned correctly with the lower chute and secured with all fasteners before using the snowblower.
