Snow-Clearing Tips; Removing Obstructions - Honda HSS928A Owner's Manual

Snow-clearing Tips

For best efficiency, clear snow before it hardens and turns to ice. Do
not reduce engine speed while clearing snow.
Operating tips for clearing hard or deep snow:
• Reduce forward speed. If this is not sufficient, use the shift lever to
clear snow with a back and forth motion.
• Clear a narrower swath. Make several passes with the auger
overlapping the cleared areas.
• If the snow is deeper than the height of the auger, remove it in
several steps, as shown below, or install the drift-breaker kit
(optional part) that is available from your authorized Honda snow
blower dealer.

An obstructed auger or blower could suddenly move
when the obstruction is cleared.
Sudden auger or blower movement can cause severe
injury if your hands are being used to clear the area.
Never clear the discharge chute or auger area with your
hands, and always stop the engine, remove the spark
plug cap, and clear obstructions with the clearing bar.
3. After unclogging, wipe the bar clean, and secure it in the holders.
