Additional Information

The snowblower chute cable boot, part number 1700048, fits over the chute control cable where it exits the housing to keep dirt, moisture, and debris from entering and interfering with smooth cable movement.

If the chute control feels stiff, binds during adjustment, or does not move as smoothly as usual, moisture or debris may have entered through a damaged or missing cable boot. Visible cracking or splitting in the boot can also expose the cable to contaminants that affect performance.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The cable boot installs near control cables and metal edges, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Slide the boot fully into place and confirm smooth cable movement before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
