Assembly
1. Loosen the two 8 mm flange nuts.
2. Raise the handlebar into position and then tighten the two 8 mm
flange nuts securely. Be careful not to pinch the auger clutch
cable between the upper and lower handlebars.
(A type shown)
3. During initial setup, tighten the two handlebar attaching 8 mm
flange nuts to 52 in-lb (5.9 N•m) using a torque wrench. This
torque is achieved by tightening the flange nuts approximately
1/4 turn after the bolt free-play is eliminated. Do not over-tighten
the nuts. Over-tightening these nuts will cause excessive
vibration to be transferred to the upper handlebar.
TORQUE: 52 in-lb (5.9 N•m)
4. Install the auger clutch cable Z-bend fitting into the lower hole on
the left side of the auger clutch lever from the outside.

chute setting bolts and 6 mm self-locking nuts. Make sure the bolt

supplied 6 mm Allen wrench to hold the 6 mm chute setting bolts
while tightening the nuts securely using a 10 mm wrench. Do not
over-tighten.

6. Lift the spark plug door
and attach the spark plug
cap to the spark plug.
7. Remove any packing
material from the
handlebar and side of the
snow blower.
Add Engine Oil
1. The snow blower is
shipped WITHOUT OIL in
the engine.
2. With the snow blower on a
level surface, remove the
oil filler cap/dipstick.
3. Add oil from the included
bottle of oil into the oil filler
opening to the top of the
filler opening (upper limit).
All Honda engines are run
at the factory prior to
packaging. Most of the oil
is removed prior to
shipment; however, some
oil remains in the engine.
The amount of oil left in the
engine varies.
4. If you don't use the
supplied oil, add enough
recommended oil
(page
12) to bring the oil
level to the top of the oil
filler opening.
5. Do not overfill the engine with oil. After filling the engine with oil,
screw the filler/cap dipstick in and remove the hang tag near the
recoil starter grip that says "The engine has no oil".
