Additional Information
Snowblower chute rod 747-05386A-0637 connects the chute control handle to the gearbox, allowing you to change the direction of snow discharge while operating the snowblower. It ensures smooth, consistent chute movement and accurate snow placement.
Replace the chute rod if it becomes bent, rusted, or damaged, as misalignment or stiffness can affect chute rotation and snow-throwing control. Regular lubrication and inspection help maintain smooth operation.
Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the old rod, align the new one between the chute control and gearbox, and secure both ends with the appropriate hardware. Verify the chute rotates smoothly before resuming use. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation.
