Check The General Condition Of The Snow Blower; Check The Engine - Honda HS1336iAS Owner's Manual

Check the General Condition of the Snow Blower:

• Check the auger housing and the discharge chute for accumulation of packed
snow or ice. Clean the auger housing and discharge chute before starting the
snow blower.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check each control for proper operation.
• Check the battery electrolyte level (see page 94, 95).
• Check the auger and blower for loose or broken bolts. If broken, replace them
with new ones (see page 90).
• Check the skid and scraper (see page 47).
• Check that all nuts, bolts, and screws are tightened.
• Check that the indicators work properly.
• Check the entire machine for any other faults that might have been caused
previously.

Check the Engine

• Before each use, look around and underneath the snow blower for signs of oil
or gasoline leaks.
• Check the oil level (see page 83).
• Check the fuel level (see page 81). Starting with a full tank will help to
eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
