Before you replace the key switch in your snowblower, make sure the engine has cooled.

You can use an 8 millimeter socket to unthread five of the six bolts securing the muffler cover.

You will need to use an 8 millimeter wrench to unthread the sixth bolt.

Use a 3/8 inch socket or nut driver to unthread the mounting bolts securing the housing to the rear bracket.

Next, unthread the screws to release the two retaining clamps holding the housing to the handle.

Now, use a half-inch socket to fully unfold securing the handle assembly.

Lower the handle and you can fully remove the muffler cover.

Remove the ignition key from the switch.

Disconnect the wires from the switch terminals.

Depress the side retaining tabs and you can slide out the old switch.

Install the new key switch by snapping it into place in the control housing.

Connect the wires to the terminals.

Insert the ignition key into the new switch.

Reposition the muffler cover and thread the six bolts to secure.

Reposition the handle assembly and rethread the upper bolts.
