Transporting - Honda HSM1380i Owner's Manual

Spilled fuel may ignite. To avoid fuel and oil spillage, keep the
snowblower level when transporting.
Loading the snowblower on a truck or trailer should be performed on a
firm, level surface.
1. Use a loading ramp that is strong enough to support the combined
weight of the snowblower, its attachments and the operator. The
loading ramp must be long enough so that its slope is 15° (26 %) or
less.
2. Check the fuel gauge. When the fuel gauge needle enters the EMPTY
range, stop the engine.
3. Start the engine and raise the auger fully by operating the auger
housing control switch. And lower the chute guide fully by operating
the chuter control switch.
4. Set the main shift lever in the SLOW RANGE, and back the
snowblower up the loading ramp at low speed.
Do not operate the steering lever while backing the snowblower up
the loading ramp; serious personal injury or damage to the
snowblower could result.
Do not hang the snowblower.
Hanging the snowblower could cause damage.
