Auger/Blower
Check the auger, auger housing, blower, and lock bolts for signs of damage or
other faults. If any of the lock bolts is broken, replace them with the one
furnished with the snow thrower. Additional lock bolts and nuts are available
from authorized Honda snow thrower dealers.
CAUTION:
Lock bolts are designed to break under force that would otherwise damage
auger and blower parts. Do not replace lock bolts with ordinary hardware
bolts.
Lock bolt replacement procedure
1. Place the snow thrower on a firm, level surface.
2. Make sure the auger clutch switch is in the OFF position.
3. Release the drive clutch lever.
4. Lower the auger to the lowest position with the auger housing control
switch.
5. Turn the engine switch OFF, remove the engine switch key, and be sure that
each rotating part comes to a complete stop.
6. Clean the auger and blower of snow, ice, or any other foreign particles.
7. Check the entire snow clearing mechanism.
8. Replace any broken lock bolts. Tighten securely.
