Additional Information
The snowblower impeller assembly, part number 1736709A, spins behind the auger to force snow through and out of the discharge chute. Proper impeller movement helps maintain consistent snow throwing performance during operation.
If the snowblower throws snow a shorter distance than expected, the impeller slips under load, or the impeller stops turning even though the engine is running, the impeller assembly may be worn or damaged. Unusual vibration, noise from the impeller area, or uneven rotation can also indicate impeller problems.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The impeller assembly installs near rotating parts and sharp metal edges, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Confirm the impeller spins smoothly and is secured tightly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
