Troubleshooting - Honda HSM1380i Bedienungsanleitung

When the engine will not start:
CAUTION:
Be sure to perform the following checks in a well ventilated area.
1. Is there enough fuel? (see page 38)
2. Is the fuel valve lever turned to the ON position? (see page 44)
3. Is not stuck the auto choke system by a foreign material (ice, etc.)? (see page
46)
4. Is gasoline reaching the carburetor?
To check, loosen the drain knob with the fuel valve lever turned to the ON
position (see page 98).
Fuel should flow freely.
If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite.
5. Are the drive clutch lever and auger clutch switch off? (see page 76)
6. Is the engine switch on? (see page 46)
7. Check the spark plug for dirt, wet and the gap (see page 84).
a. Clean the spark plug.
b. Reinstall the plug if it is reused, or replace with a new one.
If the engine still does not start, take the snow thrower to an authorized Honda
snow thrower dealer.
• If the drive control warning indicator (orange) comes on and blinks during
driving and it does not go off after restarting the engine, have your snow
thrower checked by your authorized Honda snow thrower dealer promptly.
• If the drive control warning indicator (red) blinks during driving, move the snow
thrower to a safe place and stop the engine. Wait for a while and restart the
engine. The snow thrower is normal if the drive control indicator goes off after
the engine starts. If it does not, have your snow thrower checked by your
authorized Honda snow thrower dealer.
