Additional Information

Snowblower chute pitch motor 724-04209 powers the movement of the chutes deflector, allowing you to adjust the snow discharge angle electronically from the operators control panel. It helps ensure smooth and accurate chute adjustments during operation, even in heavy snow conditions.

If the chute no longer tilts up or down, moves erratically, or fails to respond to control inputs, the pitch motor may be worn or faulty and should be replaced. Installing a new motor restores precise control over snow discharge direction and distance.

Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire and the power source to prevent accidental starting. Remove the old motor, align the new one with the chute deflector linkage, and connect the wiring harness securely. Tighten all fasteners and test the chute for smooth movement before use. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation.
