Additional Information

The snowblower hand grip, part number 731-0473, installs over the handle to give you better control while steering and operating the machine. It helps create a more secure hold on the handle during normal snowblower use.

You might find the grip spins on the handle, feels loose, or shows visible cracking or wear. In some cases, the grip can become stiff or uncomfortable to hold, especially in cold weather.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The grip fits over metal handle tubing, and removing an old grip can require prying or twisting, so work gloves can help protect your hands. Make sure the new grip is fully seated and does not move on the handle before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
