Check The Engine - Honda EU2000i Owner's Manual

BEFORE OPERATION
To prevent a possible fire, keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter)
away from building walls and other equipment during operation. Do
not place flammable objects close to the engine.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the generator is
on a level surface and the engine switch is in the OFF position.

Check the Engine

Check the oil level (see page 46 ). A low oil level will cause the Oil Alert
system to shut down the engine.
Check the air filter (see page 50 ). A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to
the carburetor, reducing engine and generator performance.
Check the fuel level (see page 43 ). Starting with a full tank will help to
eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
