Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert system will automatically stop the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position). -
Page 14: Dc Terminals
DC Terminals The DC terminals may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive type batteries. The terminals are colored red to identify the positive (+) terminal and black to identify the negative (-) terminal. The battery must be connected to the generator DC terminals with the proper polarity (battery positive to generator red terminal and battery negative to the generator black terminal). -
Page 15: Generator Use
Ground System Honda portable generators have a system ground that connects generator frame components to the ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The system ground is not connected to the AC neutral wire. If the generator is tested by a receptacle tester, it will not show the same ground circuit condition as for a home receptacle. -
Page 16: Ac Operation
AC Operation 1. Start the engine (refer to page 22) and make sure the pilot lamp comes on. If not, the filament may be burnt out. 2. Plug in the appliance. 1 NOTICE 1 Substantial overloading will switch off the circuit protector, Marginal overloading may not switch off the circuit protector, but it will shorten the service life of the generator. -

DC circuit protector (PUSH button extends out). If this happens, wait a few minutes before pushing in the circuit protector to resume operation. If the circuit protector continues to go OFF, discontinue charging and see your authorized Honda generator dealer. -
Page 18: Disconnecting The Battery Cables
Disconnecting the battery cables: 1. Stop the engine. 2. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable from the generator negative (-) terminal. 3. Disconnect the other end of the negative (-) battery cable from the battery negative (-) terminal. 4. Disconnect the positive (+) battery cable from the generator positive (+) terminal. -
Page 19: High Altitude Operation
If you always operate the engine at altitudes higher than 6,000 feet above sea level, have an authorized Honda generator dealer perform this carburetor modification. Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease ap- proximately 35%for each 1,000 foot increase in altitude. -
Page 20: Pre-Operation Check
Check the oil level BEFORE EACH USE with the generator on a level sur- face with the engine stopped. Use Honda 4-stroke oil, or an equivalent high detergent, premium quality motor oil certified to meet or exceed U.S. auto- mobile manufacturer’s requirements for Service Classification SG, SF/CC, CD. -
Page 21: Fuel Recommendation
Fuel Recommendation 1. Check the fuel level gauge. 2. Refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Do not fill above the shoulder of the fuel strainer. Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. - Page 22 If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, switch to a conventional unleaded gasoline. Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel are not the responsibility of Honda and are not covered under warranty.
