Auger/Blower inspection
Check the auger, auger housing, blower, and shear bolts for signs of
damage or other faults. If any of the shear bolts are 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:
Shear bolts are designed to break under force that would otherwise
damage auger and blower parts. Do not replace shear bolts with ordi-
nary hardware bolts.

particles.
