SERVICING YOUR
SNOWTHROWER
Proper maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and
trouble-free operation. It also helps reduce air pollution.
To help you properly care for your snowthrower, the following pages
include a maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and
simple maintenance procedures using basic hand tools. Other service
tasks that are more difficult or require special tools are best handled
by professionals and are normally performed by a Honda technician
or other qualified mechanic.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If
you operate your snowthrower under severe conditions, consult your
servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual
needs and use.
Remember that an authorized Honda servicing dealer knows your
snowthrower best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it. To
ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, Honda Genuine
parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement.
Maintenance Safety
Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we
cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in
performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you
should perform a given task.
Safety Precautions
• Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or
repairs. This will eliminate several potential hazards:
– Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate
the engine.
– Burns from hot parts
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
– Injury from moving parts
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
• Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have
the tools and skills required.
• To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when
working around petrol. Use only a nonflammable solvent, not petrol,
to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all
fuel-related parts.
