SB7038 Snowblower Safety Recommendations

Controls

Use this section to familiarize yourself with the various controls and operation of the snowblower. This

section covers only items relating to the snowblower itself. Refer to the owners manual for the Honda

mid-size commercial mower for instructions in operating the power unit.

Description of Controls

Pull this lever out and rotate it to lock and

disengage the hydraulic drive pumps from

the engine. This reduces the load on the

engine for starting in extremely cold

weather.

chute. The discharge chute will rotate a

250 degree arc.

discharged from the chute. The locking

T-handle next to the throttle sets the chute

at the desired angle. Turn the handle

areas of the snowblower. Before beginning any inspection:

Park the unit on a flat, level surface.

Disengage the blade control lever and put the forward speed control levers in neutral.

Turn the ignition switch off and remove the key.

Make sure the auger blades, blower head and discharge chute are free of any debris or objects.

Check the shear bolts for tightness.

To prevent damage to the snowblower, never operate the snowblower With a loose or damaged

shear bolt. Always use special extended-shoulder shear bolts on the fan assembly and grooved

shear bolts on the auger sections.
