FUEL TANK TOP MAXIMUM FUEL LEVEL 35 mm (1.4 in) FULL EMPTY FUEL TANK CAP FUEL GAUGE

Use unleaded gasoline with a Research Octane Number of 91 or higher (a Pump Octane Number of 86 or higher).

Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture.

Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

▲WARNING

• Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
  Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck).
  After refueling, make sure the fuel tank cap is closed properly and securely.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

CAUTION:

Don't let snow get in the fuel tank. Water in the fuel system can cause stalling and difficult starting.

NOTE:

Gasoline spoils very quickly depending on factors such as light exposure, temperature and time.

In worst cases, gasoline can be contaminated within 30 days.

Using contaminated gasoline can seriously damage the engine (clogged carburetor, stuck valve).

Such damage due to spoiled fuel is disallowed from coverage by the warranty.

To avoid this please strictly follow these recommendations:

• Only use specified gasoline (see page 24).
• Use fresh and clean gasoline.
• To slow deterioration, keep gasoline in a certified fuel container.
• If long storage (more than 30 days) is foreseen, drain fuel tank and carburetor (see page 58).

GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL

If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure its octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by Honda.

There are two types of “gasohol”: one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol.

Do not use gasohol that contains more than 10% ethanol.

Do not use gasoline containing more than 5% methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) and that does not also contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol.

NOTE:

• Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use of gasoline that contains more alcohol than recommended is not covered under the warranty.
• Before buying gasoline from an unfamiliar station, first determine if the gasoline contains alcohol, if it does, find out the type and percentage of alcohol used.

If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms while using a particular gasoline. Switch to a gasoline that you know contains less than the recommended amount of alcohol.

Engine oil level

Inspection:

With the snowblower on a level surface, remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.

(ETS and HTS types)

Wipe the dipstick clean. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck, but do not screw it in.

Remove the dipstick.

Check the oil level.

If the oil level is lower than the upper limit, fill to the upper limit with the recommended oil on following page. Do not overfill.

Change the oil if it is excessively contaminated or discolored. (Refer to page 48 for the engine oil change interval and procedure.)

Carburetor Modification for High Altitude Operation

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emission.

High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate your snowblower at altitudes above 1,500 meters (5,000 feet), have your authorized Honda servicing dealer perform this carburetor modification.

This engine, when operated at high altitude with the carburetor modifications for high altitude use, will meet each emission standard throughout its useful life.

Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease about 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 foot) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.

CAUTION:

When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, the air-fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. Operation at altitudes below 1,500 meters (5,000 feet) with a modified carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage. For use at low altitudes, have your servicing dealer return the carburetor to original factory specifications.

Skid plate, scraper

Adjust the skid plate and scraper positions.

▲WARNING

Before adjusting the skid plate and scraper positions, be sure to stop the engine and remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug.

The skid plate and scraper have three adjusting positions. Select the position according to the surface conditions described in the chart.

NOTE: Adjust the height equally on both sides.

After adjusting the height, be sure to tighten the adjusting bolts and nuts securely.

Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station for recycling. Do not throw in the trash or pour it onto the ground.

Spark plug—cleaning and adjustment

The spark plug must be periodically cleaned and adjusted to provide reliable ignition.

INTERVAL AT WHICH THE SPARK PLUG MUST BE CLEANED: Every year, before operation.

CLEANING PROCEDURE:

WARNING

If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot.

To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits.

1. Remove the spark plug cap.
   2.Clean any dirt from around the spark plug base.
2. Use the wrench supplied in the tool kit to remove the spark plug.
3. Visually inspect the spark plug. Discard the spark plug if there is apparent wear, or if the insulator is cracked or chipped. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush if it is to be reused.

SPARK PLUG WRENCH SPARK PLUG CAP

1. Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge.

Correct as necessary by carefully bending the side electrode.

The gap should be:

0.7–0.8 mm (0.028–0.031 in)

Recommended spark plug: BPR5ES (NGK)

W16EPR-U (DENSO)

SIDE ELECTRODE PLUG GAP 0.7–0.8 mm (0.028–0.031 in) SEALING WASHER INSULATOR

1. Make sure that the sealing washer is in good condition and thread the spark plug in by hand to prevent cross-threading.
2. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spark plug wrench to compress the washer.

NOTE:

If installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug seats to compress the washer. If reinstalling a used spark plug, tighten 1/8 to 1/4 turn after the spark plug seats.

CAUTION:

• Use only the recommended spark plugs or equivalent plugs. Spark plugs which have an improper heat range may cause engine damage.
• The spark plug must be securely tightened. An improperly tightened spark plug can become very hot and may damage the engine.

Track-adjustment (track type only)

ADJUSTMENT INTERVAL: Every year, before operation

Make sure the tracks are clean and dry before adjustment. The tracks cannot be correctly adjusted if clogged with snow or debris, or coated with ice.

With the snowblower resting on its tracks, check track deflection by pressing down midway between the wheels with a force of 15 kgf (33 lbf).

When correctly adjusted, track deflection should be:

25.0-30.0 mm (0.98-1.18 in)

25.0-30.0 mm (0.98-1.18 in) TRACK

Adjusting procedure:

1. Loosen the left and right tension bolt lock nuts at the rear axle, and turn the adjusting nuts to correctly tension both tracks.
2. After adjustment, tighten the lock nuts securely.

ADJUSTING NUT TENSION BOLT Decrease tension Increase tension LOCK NUT

Tires (wheel type only)

CAUTION:

• Do not operate with a flat tire. This may cause the bead to come off.
  Over inflation can cause premature tire failure. Inflate the tires to manufacturer's recommended tire pressure.

Before each use, check the tire pressure with an air pressure gauge.

Pressure:

80\~100 kPa (0.8\~1.0 kgf/cm², 11.4\~14 psi)
