Clearing Snow - Honda HS622 Owner's Manual

Clearing Snow
For best efficiency, clear snow before it melts, refreezes, and hardens.
Do not use the throttle lever to adjust your forward speed. The throttle
lever must remain in the FAST position for good snow-clearing
performance.
Tips for clearing deep or hard-packed snow
l
Clear narrow widths.
Use 1st (low) gear, and clear narrower widths by overlapping your
cleared path.
l
Clear in steps.
If engine speed decreases in deep, heavy snow, use forward motion
intermittently to allow the engine to resume full speed and clear out
the auger:
1. Release the auger clutch lever, then move the shift lever to
NEUTRAL.
2. Squeeze the auger clutch lever, and allow the engine to resume full
speed and clear out the auger.
3. Release the auger clutch lever, then move the shift lever to 1st (low)
gear.
4. Squeeze the auger clutch lever and resume snow clearing.
