OPERATION

Honda snow throwers are designed to clear snow from driveways and
walkways. Other uses can result in injury to the operator or damage to
the snow thrower and other property.
Most injuries and property damage with snow throwers can be
prevented if you follow all instructions in this manual and on the snow
thrower. The most common hazards are discussed below, along with
the best way to protect yourself and others.
Avoid Rotating Auger
The snow thrower auger can cause serious cuts and even amputate
fingers, hands, toes, or feet. Keep away from the auger whenever the
engine is running. If you need to work around the snow thrower to
clear snow for any reason, always shut off the engine. If the snow
discharge chute becomes clogged, stop the engine and disconnect
the spark plug cap. Use a wooden stick to remove the obstruction.
Never put your hand into the snow discharge chute while the engine is
running; serious personal injury could result.
Clear Operation Area
The snow thrower can throw rocks and other objects with enough
force to cause serious injury. Before operating the snow thrower,
carefully inspect the area and remove all obvious hazards. 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.
Keep Shields in Place
Guards and shields are designed to protect you from being hit by
thrown objects and to keep you from touching hot engine parts and
moving components. For your safety and the safety of others, keep all
shields in place when the engine is running.
Adjust the snow discharge chute to avoid hitting the operator,
bystanders, windows, and other objects with ejected snow. Stay clear
of the snow discharge chute while the engine is running.
Children and pets must be kept away from the area of operation to
avoid injury from flying debris and contact with the snow thrower.
Refuel with Care
Petrol is extremely flammable, and petrol vapor can explode. Allow
the engine to cool if the snow thrower has been in operation. Refuel
only outdoors in a well-ventilated area with the engine OFF. Never fill
the fuel tank beyond the maximum fill mark. Never smoke near petrol,
and keep other flames and sparks away. Always store petrol in an
approved container.
Turn Engine Off When Not Operating the Snow Thrower
If you need to leave the snow thrower for any reason, even just to
inspect the area ahead, always turn the engine off.
Operation on Slopes
To avoid overturning, be careful when changing the direction of the
snow thrower while operating it on a slope. Do not use the snow
thrower to remove snow from roofs. The snow thrower may overturn
on steep slopes, causing injury to the operator or bystanders.
Do not operate on slopes greater than 20°.
Operating Conditions
Do not use the snow thrower when visibility is poor. Under conditions
of poor visibility, there is a greater risk of striking an obstacle or
causing injury. Adjust the snow discharge chute to avoid hitting
passing bystanders or vehicles. Stay clear of the snow discharge
chute while the engine is running.
Operator Responsibility
Know how to stop the snow thrower quickly in case of emergency.
Understand the use of all snow thrower controls.
Never permit anyone to operate the snow thrower without proper
instruction. Do not let children operate the snow thrower. If people or
pets suddenly appear in front of the snow thrower while it is in
operation, immediately release the drive clutch lever to stop the snow
thrower and avoid possible injury from the rotating auger.
While operating the snow thrower, hold the handle firmly and walk,
don't run. Wear suitable winter boots that resist slipping.
Hot Exhaust
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a
while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler
while it is hot. Let the engine cool before transporting the snow
thrower or storing it indoors.
To prevent fire hazards, keep the snow thrower at least 1 meter away
from building walls and other equipment during operation. Do not
place flammable objects close to the engine.
Carbon Monoxide Hazards
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death.
For your safety, do not operate the engine in an enclosed or partially
enclosed area such as a garage. Your snow thrower's exhaust
contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas which can collect rapidly in
an enclosed or partially enclosed area and cause illness or death.
Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide
gas that can build up to dangerous levels in an
enclosed or partially enclosed area.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
unconsciousness and death.
Never run the snow thrower in an enclosed or partially
enclosed area.
Removing Obstructions
If the discharge chute or snow throwing mechanism becomes
restricted:
1. Stop the engine and wait for the auger to stop turning.
2. Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug.
3. Use the plastic stick to clear the obstruction.
Disposal
To protect the environment, do not dispose of this product,
battery, engine oil, etc. carelessly by leaving them in the
waste. Observe the local laws and regulations or consult
your authorized Honda dealer for disposal.
