Scraper Inspection, Adjustment And Replacement - Honda HS521 Owner's Manual

SCRAPER INSPECTION, ADJUSTMENT AND REPLACEMENT
If the auger housing guard and the scraper are deformed or improperly ad-
justed, the snowthrower will not clear the snow evenly. The snowthrower
should be inspected and adjusted, and any faulty parts should be replaced
before it is put back into service in the season or if its performance is
impaired.
m To prevent accidental starting, turn the engine switch to the
OFF position and disconnect the spark plug cap.
INSPECTION:
1. Place the snowthrower on firm,
level ground and check that the
scraper blade contacts the ground
evenly. Adjust the scraper blade if
it does not contact the ground
evenly.
2. Check that the auger paddle
ground clearance is O-2 mm
(O-0.08
in.)
3. Replace the scraper blade if the
service limit is exceeded.
