Simply plug in an extension cord, start the snowblower, unplug, and go! Recoil start is also included as a back up.
No mixing, no two-stroke smoke and stink, lower emissions, and better fuel economy.
The auger assist drive helps move the HS520 when the rubber-edged auger contacts the surface. A gentle upward pressure on the handle starts forward motion.
Don't let its small size fool you. The HS520 has the snow-clearing power of a snowblower twice its size. Just like you'd expect from a Honda.
Adjust the direction of the snow with just a quick flick of your hand. The loop shaped lever controls both the direction and distance of snow. The deflector can be adjusted from left to right 220 degrees.
The ignition switch, manual choke, starter grip and fuel cap are conveniently located for easy access. The starter grip is extra large to accommodate gloves or mittens. The access panel allows easy and safe operation, even with gloves on.
The HS520 is designed for ease of maintenance. Draining the engine oil and fuel are easy, saving time, frustration, and mess. The spark plug is very easy to access for replacement.
The large fuel cap and fuel opening make it easy to re-fuel. The unit has a fuel shut off valve for safe storage.
Compact and convenient, the HS520 offers the performance of a larger snowblower with the benefits of a single stage unit.
This system relieves compression in the engine during starting and then closes automatically to ensure full power after the engine starts.
