To ensure safe operation
Always make a pre-operation check (pages
you start the engine. You may prevent an accident or equipment
damage.
Honda snowblowers are designed to give safe and dependable
service if operated according to instructions. Read and understand
this Owner's Manual before operating the snowblower. Failure to
do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Before operating the snowblower, inspect the area in which you are
going to clear snow. Remove debris and other obstacles the
snowblower might strike or throw, as they may cause injury or
damage to the snowblower.
Inspect the snowblower before operating it. Repair any damage and
correct any malfunction before operation.
If you hit an obstacle while operating the snowblower, stop the
engine immediately, and check for damage. Damaged equipment
may increase the possibility of injury during operation.
Do not use the snowblower when visibility is poor. Under
conditions of poor visibility, there is a greater risk of striking an
obstacle or causing injury.
Never use the snowblower to clear snow from a gravel road or
driveway, as rocks may be picked up and ejected. They may cause
injury to bystanders.
Do not store or leave tools, rags etc. in or behind the covers as they
may cause personal injury or damage to the snowblower.
Always keep the tools in the designated location.
