Check Your Work Area - Honda HSS724A Owner's Manual

BEFORE OPERATION

CHECK YOUR WORK AREA

For your safety and the safety of others, always inspect the area
before operating the snow blower.
Objects
Anything that can be picked up by the augers and thrown is a potential
hazard to you and others. Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all doormats, newspapers, sleds,
boards, wires, stones, and nails from the work area.
People and Pets
People and animals near the work area can move into your snow
blower's path or into a position where they could be struck by thrown
objects. Clear the area of people, especially children, and pets. Their
safety is your responsibility.
Work Area
Check the condition of the snow. Adjust your snow blower ground
speed (not engine speed) and snow blowing swath accordingly.
Check the skid shoes for proper adjustment. Adjust the skid shoes to
obtain the auger ground clearance for the type of surface the snow
blower will be operated over (see page 52).
