To Ensure Safe Operation - Honda HS828 Owner's Manual

To ensure safe operation
l
Always make a pre-operation check (pages 16 thru 20) before you start
the engine. You may prevent an accident or equipment damage.
l
Honda snowblowers are designed to give safe and dependable service
if operated according to instructions. Read and understand this
Owner's Manual before operating the snowblower. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
l
Before operating the snowblower, inspect the area in which you are go-
ing to clear snow. Remove debris and other obstacles the snowblower
might strike or throw, as that may cause injury or damage to the
snowblower.
l
Inspect the snowblower before operating it. Repair any damage and
correct any malfunction before operation. If you hit an obstacle while
operating the snowblower, stop the engine immediately, and check for
damage. Damaged equipment may increase the possibility of injury dur-
ing operation.
l
Do not use the snowblower when visibility is poor. Under conditions of
poor visibility, there is a greater risk of striking an obstacle or causing
injury.
l
Never use the snowblower to clear snow from a gravel road or
driveway, as rocks may be picked up and ejected. They may cause in-
jury to bystanders.
