This is a replacement chute rotation switch designed for use on snowblowers. During operation, the snowblower's auger breaks up the snow and ice and then moves it through the chute. However, the chute must be able to move in order to ensure that the snow is directed out of the path of the machine, as well as away from other objects. Manual chutes can be difficult to use, so remote control systems were developed. The chute rotation switch allows users to rotate the snowblower chute with the touch of a button. However, like all electronic components, the switch is subject to wear and tear. The contacts inside the old switch can wear out, and the wiring harness can become damaged, and more. Signs of trouble include intermittent chute operation, or the chute not rotating when the switch is used. Note that replacing the chute rotation switch will only require basic tools, but will vary from snowblower model to snowblower model. Users should refer to their owner's manual. This is a genuine OEM replacement chute rotation switch for Snapper, Craftsman, Murry, and Simplicity snowblowers and is sold individually.
This genuine Briggs & Stratton-Murray switch prevents the snowblower engine from starting until a key is used to ignite the engine. Additionally, the switch discontinues the electrical flow to the spark flow that ignites the engine upon removing the key from the ignition.The switch might have to be replaced if there is damage that prevents it from operating as usual. Symptoms of a malfunctioning or broken switch can include an engine that continues to run while the key is not actively in the ignition or an engine that is not properly ignited when the key is inserted in the ignition. If the switch is subject to damage that results in either of these symptoms, the switch should be immediately removed and replaced, and the snowblower should not be used again until a new switch has been installed. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This switch is compatible with the following brands: Briggs & Stratton, Simplicity, Snapper, and Murray. This part is sold individually.
