SERVICING YOUR SNOWBLOWER

THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTENANCE

Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free
operation. It will also help reduce air pollution.
To help you properly care for your snowblower, the following pages
include a maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and
simple maintenance procedures using basic hand tools. Other service
tasks that are more difficult, or require special tools, are best handled
by professionals and are normally performed by a Honda technician or
other qualified mechanic.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If
you operate your snowblower under unusual conditions, consult your
servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual
needs and use. Remember that your servicing dealer knows your
snowblower best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, genuine
Honda parts or their equivalents for repair or replacement.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices
and systems may be performed by any engine repair establishment or
individual, using parts that are ''certified'' to EPA standards.

Improper maintenance, or failure to
correct a problem before operation,
can cause a malfunction in which
you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations and
schedules in this owner's manual.
