Additional information

This upper chute, part number 731-04354B, mounts to the chute base and channels snow upward and outward during operation. Proper fit and alignment help maintain consistent discharge direction and reduce snow blowback.

If snow sprays unpredictably, the chute will not stay aligned, or you see cracks, warping, or damage, the upper chute may be worn or broken. Loose mounting points or deformation can also affect how well the chute directs snow.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Align the upper chute correctly on the chute base, secure all fasteners evenly, and confirm the chute rotates and adjusts smoothly without binding.
