Additional information
This chute tilt guide, part number 731-09535, helps keep the chute deflector aligned as you adjust the tilt angle to control how far snow is thrown. Proper guidance supports smooth movement and helps the deflector hold its selected position.
If the deflector does not move smoothly, slips out of position, or feels loose during adjustment, the tilt guide may be worn, cracked, or damaged. Misalignment or binding in the chute tilt system can also indicate guide wear.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Install the tilt guide in the correct position, tighten mounting hardware evenly, and confirm the deflector moves freely without binding.
