FOR YOUR SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have
provided important safety messages in this manual and on the snow
thrower. This information alerts you to potential hazards that could
hurt you or others. Please read these messages carefully.
Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the
hazards associated with operating or maintaining a snow thrower. You
must use your own good judgment.
Safety Instructions
You will find important safety information in a variety of forms:
• Safety Labels – on the snow thrower.
• Instructions – how to use this snow thrower correctly and safely.
• Safety Messages – preceded by a safety alert symbol and one
of three signal words: DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
Each message tells you what the hazard is, what can happen, and
what you can do to avoid or reduce injury.
These signal words mean:
• Damage Prevention Messages – You will also see other important
messages that are preceded by the word NOTICE. This word
means:

Important Message to Parents
The safety of your children is very important to Honda. Snow throwers
are tools, not toys. As with any equipment, bad judgments can result
in serious injuries. Your child must be big enough, strong enough, and
have the coordination necessary to comfortably reach and operate the
controls. Anyone who takes unnecessary risks and doesn’t obey rules
should not operate this snow thrower.
