9. MAINTENANCE
Periodic inspection and maintenance will help extend the service life
of your snow thrower while keeping it in the best operating condition.
Inspect or service as described in the table below.
• Shut off the engine before performing inspection and maintenance,
and disconnect the spark plug wire from the plug so the engine
cannot be started.
• If the engine must be run, make sure the area is well-ventilated.
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide; exposure can
cause loss of consciousness within minutes and may lead to death.
CAUTION:
• To avoid overturning, place the snow thrower on a level surface
before performing inspection and maintenance.
• Use only genuine Honda parts or their equivalent.
Replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may damage
the snow thrower.
Tools
A spark plug wrench and handle are supplied with the snow thrower.
Some of the maintenance procedures described in this manual will
require an additional set of metric wrenches (not supplied).
