manual abstract
is Hydrostatic transmission fluid Check the hydrostatic fluid level in the reservoir. Hydrostatic fluid expands and contracts with changes in temperature. The UPPER and LOWER level marks on the reservoir are calibrated for room temperature fluid. lt is normal for the fluid level to rise above the UPPER level mark when snowblower operation warms the transmission. When checking the level of cold fluid, below room temperature, refer to the temperature chart for appropriate fluid levels. At temperatures below -2OOC (--4OF), fluid may not be visible in the reservoir before operation, but should rise into the reservoir when the transmission warms up. UPPER LEVEL TRANSMISSION LOWER LEVEL FLUID RESERVOIR If the fluid level is low, add HONDA HYDROSTATIC FLUID. [] The use of other hydrostatic fluids will reduce transmission performance ZW&EI~ damage the transmission. Use only HONDA HYDROSTATIC 1 .Unscrew the reservoir cap and remove the seal. Be careful to prevent dirt, water, or snow from entering the reservoir. 2.Add HONDA HYDROSTATICFLUID to bring the fluid level to the UPPER level mark at room temperature, or to the appropriate level shown in the temperature chart. Do not overfill. 3.Reinstall the seal, and tighten the cap securely.

If broken, replace them with new ones (page 41 1. BLOWER SHEAR @OLT AUGER SHEAR BOLT Other checks 1. Check all bolts, nuts and other fasteners for security. 2. Check each part for operation. 3.Check the entire machine for any other faults which might have been caused in previous operation. B STARTING THE ENGINE Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death. 1.

Connect your power cord to the switch box and the male end of the power cord to a properly grounded 120 Volt A/C outlet. - POWER CORD l To minimize the possibility of potentially dangerous electrical shocks, always use a 3-conductor power cord with a power rating of no less than 15 amps. Also, be sure that the outlet you are using is properly grounded. l Do not connect and disconnect the power cord with wet hands. l Be sure to hold the plug when disconnecting the power cord from the electrical outlet or switch box. Do not disconnect by pulling on the power cord. 6.Turn the engine switch to the ON position. ENGINE SWlTdH 7. Push the starter button until the engine starts. After the engine starts, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet first, and then from the switch box. PUSH Do not operate the starter for more than 1 minute. It the engline fails to - start, release the button and allow the starter to cool for 15 miInul tes before operating it again. [MANUAL STARTING ONLY I 8. Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance then pull briskly. l Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter. l• Damage may result if the starter grip is pulled while the engine is running. 9. After starting the engine, allow it to run for a few seconds to warm it up to operating temperature. As the engine stabilizes, gradually move the throttle lever to the SLOW position.
