IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Make sure you have a clear understanding of all basic shop safety practices and that you are wearing
appropriate clothing and safety equipment. When performing setup and pre-delivery service, be
especially careful of the following:
‰ Read all of the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools, the replacement or
repair parts, and the skills required to perform the tasks safely and completely.
‰ Protect your eyes by using proper safety glasses, goggles, or face shields any time you hammer, drill,
grind, or work around pressurized air, pressurized liquids, springs, or other stored-energy
components. If there is any doubt, put on eye protection.
‰ Use protective wear (gloves, safety shoes, etc.) when necessary. Handling hot or sharp parts can
cause severe burns or cuts. Before you grab something that looks like it can hurt you, stop and put on
gloves.
• Make sure the engine is off before you begin any servicing procedures unless the instruction tells you to
do otherwise. This will help eliminate several potential hazards:
‰ Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust–Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you
run the engine.
‰ Burns from hot parts–Let the engine and exhaust system cool before working in those areas.
‰ Injury from moving parts–If the instruction tells you to run the engine, be sure your hands, fingers, and
clothing are out of the way.
• Gasoline vapors are explosive. To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be careful when working
around gasoline.
‰ Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts.
‰ Never store gasoline in an open container.
‰ Keep all cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all fuel-related parts.

Setup and pre-delivery service must be performed by an authorized Honda snowblower dealer. These
instructions are provided for dealer use.
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
Proper setup and pre-delivery service are essential for safe, reliable operation. Your customer expects his
or her Honda snowblower to be correctly assembled, adjusted, and ready for use; test the snowblower to
be sure that it functions properly. Fill out the Power Equipment Pre-Delivery Check List (TO056) and give
the yellow copy to the customer.

OPERATIONAL TESTS
Test every snowblower to be sure it functions properly.
1. Check the electric starter operation.
2. Check the operation of the engine controls:
• Turn the fuel valve ON.
• Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
• Check the throttle lever operation.
Make sure the choke valve is fully closed with the throttle in the CHOKE position and the choke valve
is fully open with the throttle in the FAST position.
• On HS1132, check the choke knob. Refer to the shop manual if cable adjustment is necessary.
3. Start the engine outside on a flat, level surface.
4. Check engine idle rpm with the throttle lever in the SLOW THROTTLE STOP SCREW
position. Adjust if necessary.
IDLE RPM (ALL): 2,000 ± 150 rpm
5. Use a tachometer to check the maximum governed rpm with
the throttle lever in the FAST position and auger clutch lever
disengaged.

MODEL MAXIMUM RPM

HS624 3,800 ± 150 rpm

HS724 3,850 ± 150 rpm

HS828
HS928 3,600 ± 150 rpm
HS1132

6. Check the auger clutch lever operation with the engine running and the throttle lever in the FAST position.
Make sure the auger engages and disengages smoothly.
7. Engage the drive clutch lever and make sure the snowblower propels forward and stops propelling when
the lever is released.
