FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
DANGER
Fuel and fuel vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
• Refuel generator only outdoors, in a well-ventilated
area.
• NEVER fill fuel tank while engine is running. Turn gen-
erator OFF and allow to cool before filling with fuel.
• NEVER smoke or allow flames or sparks near genera-
tor or where gasoline is stored.
• NEVER overfill fuel tank (no fuel should be in filler
neck). After refueling, be sure fuel tank cap is closed
properly and securely.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel
or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, be sure
area is dry before starting engine.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or
breathing of vapor.

nated gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or
water in the fuel tank.

ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
NOTICE
It is very important to maintain proper level of engine oil to
keep engine in good running condition.
• Check engine oil level prior to each use. Refill engine
oil if oil level is too low.
See the Honda Owner's Manual for instructions on
how to properly maintain the engine.
Contact an authorized Honda service dealer for
engine maintenance and repairs. In some locations,
authorized Honeywell service dealers are also Honda
service dealers. Contact your local dealer before
transporting your generator for service.
WARNING
ALWAYS stop engine before removing oil fill dip-
stick.
Crankcase pressure can cause hot engine oil to
spray out of engine fill hole. Hot engine oil can
cause severe burns.
WARNING
Gasoline and flammable solvents can cause fire or
explosion. NEVER use gasoline or flammable sol-
vent to clean air filter element.
• Use only household soap and water to clean air filter
element.
CAUTION
Frequent or prolonged contact with engine oil may cause
skin cancer.
• Thoroughly wash hands and any areas of skin exposed
to used oil with soap and water.
