Chute Flange Keeper 731-04869A

The chute flange keeper is a genuine OEM replacement part that secures the chute flange on snowblowers. The keeper is made of plastic and fits onto the metal piece, known as the flange, that connects the chute to the blower frame and holds it in place during use. Over time the flange keeper may wear down or fall off and cause the chute flange to fall out of alignment. If you notice that you have difficulties adjusting the direction of the chute and you hear rattling during use, then this is a sign that the flange keeper is no longer properly attached. Before positioning the new keeper, clear off any dirt or debris in the area. Use a pair of pliers to fit the keeper on and align the holes on the flange keeper with the holes on the chute before securing it.
