To ensure safe operation—
• Always perform a pre-operation check (page 24) before you start the
engine. You may prevent an injury.
• Honda snow throwers are designed to give safe and dependable
service if operated according to instructions. Read and understand
this Owner's Manual before operating the snow thrower. Failure to
do so could result in personal injury.
• Before operating the snow thrower, inspect the area in which you are
going to clear snow. Remove debris and other obstacles the
snow thrower might strike or throw, as they may cause injury.
• Inspect the snow thrower before operating it. Repair any damage and
correct any malfunction before operation.
If you hit an obstacle while operating the snow thrower, stop the
engine immediately, and check for damage. Damaged equipment may
increase the possibility of injury during operation.
• Do not use the snow thrower when visibility is poor. Under condi-
tions of poor visibility, there is a greater risk of striking an obstacle or
causing injury.
• Never use the snow thrower to clear snow from a gravel road or
driveway, as rocks may be picked up and ejected. They may cause
injury to bystanders.
