Auger/Blower Inspection; Shear Bolt Replacement Procedure - Honda HS828 Owner's Manual

Auger/Blower inspection
Check the auger, auger housing, blower and shear bolts for signs of
damage or other faults. If any of the shear bolts are broken, replace them
with the one furnished with the snowblower. Additional shear bolts and
nuts are available from authorized Honda snowblower dealers.

to break under force that would other-
wise damage auger and blower parts. Do not replace shear bolts with or-
dinary hardware bolts.
