Additional information
This upper chute adapter, part number 731-09539A, mounts between the chute base and upper chute to provide proper alignment and support during operation. A correctly installed adapter helps the chute rotate smoothly and stay securely positioned.
If the upper chute feels loose, does not rotate evenly, or shifts out of alignment, the adapter may be cracked, warped, or damaged. Uneven movement or visible wear around the mounting points can also indicate a problem.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Align the adapter correctly on the chute base, secure all mounting hardware evenly, and confirm the upper chute rotates freely without binding.
