    11/04/26 16:09:10 32Z30600_005 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Honda generators are designed for use with electrical equipment that has suitable power requirements. Other uses can result in injury to the operator or damage to the generator and other property. Most injuries or property damage can be prevented if you follow all instructions in this manual and on the generator.
  • Page 6 11/04/26 16:09:19 32Z30600_006 Carbon Monoxide Hazards Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death. If you run the generator in an area that is confined, or even partially enclosed area, the air you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of exhaust gas.
  • Page 7 11/04/26 16:09:28 32Z30600_007 Fire and Burn Hazards Do not use the generator in areas with a high risk of fire. The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials. − Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings and other equipment during operation.
  • Page 8 Do not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground. An improperly disposed battery can hurt the environment. Always confirm local regulations for battery disposal. Contact your Honda servicing dealer for a replacement.

  • Page 9: Safety Label Locations

    These labels warn you of potential hazards that can cause serious injury. Read the labels and safety notes and precautions described in this manual carefully. If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your Honda dealer for a replacement. READ OWNER’S MANUAL...
  • Page 10 11/04/26 16:09:54 32Z30600_010 Honda generator is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to instructions. Read and understand the Owner’s Manual before operating the generator. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
  • Page 11 11/04/26 16:10:00 32Z30600_011 A hot exhaust system can cause serious burns. Avoid contact if the engine has been running. Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. Turn the engine off and let it cool before refueling.

  • Page 19: Pre-Operation Check

    11/04/26 16:10:55 32Z30600_019 PRE-OPERATION CHECK Be sure to check the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped. Check the engine oil level before each use. Using non detergent oil or 2-stroke engine oil could shorten the engine’s service life. Recommended oil: Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service category SE or later (or equivalent).
  • Page 20 11/04/26 16:11:03 32Z30600_020 Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean. Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick in the filler hole without screwing it in. If the oil level is low, fill to the upper limit of the oil filler neck with the recommended oil.
  • Page 21 11/04/26 16:11:14 32Z30600_021 Check the fuel level. Check the fuel gauge. If the fuel level is low, refuel the fuel tank until the level as specified. After refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely. Use automotive unleaded gasoline with a Research Octane Number of 91 or higher (a Pump Octane Number of 86 or higher).
  • Page 22 Gasolines Containing Alcohol If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure its octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by Honda. There are two types of ‘‘gasohol’’: one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol.
  • Page 23 11/04/26 16:11:35 32Z30600_023 Check the air cleaner. Check the air cleaner element to be sure it is clean and in good condition. Unsnap the two air cleaner cover clips, remove the air cleaner cover, and remove the air cleaner element. Clean or replace the air cleaner element if necessary (see page Never run the engine without the air cleaner element.

  • Page 28: High Altitude Operation

    If you always operate the generator at altitudes higher than 1,500 meters (5,000 feet) above sea level, have your authorized Honda dealer perform these carburetor modifications. Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 foot) increase in altitude.

  • Page 29: Generator Use

    11/04/26 16:12:17 32Z30600_029 GENERATOR USE The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or electrocution if misused. Be sure to ground the generator when the connected appliance is grounded. To ground the terminal of the generator, use a cooper wire with same or larger diameter than the cord of the connected appliance.
  • Page 30 Power levels between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes. Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes. Maximum power is: EG3600CL: 3.6 kVA (BT, FT, GT, GWT, ITT types) EG4500CL: 3.68/4.5 kVA...

  • Page 37: Maintenance

    Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the engine cool before maintenance. Use Honda Genuine parts or their equivalent. The use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may damage the generator.

  • Page 38: Maintenance Schedule

    These items should be serviced by your servicing dealer, unless you have the proper tools and are mechanically proficient. Refer to the Honda shop manual for service procedures. For commercial use, log hours of operation to determine proper maintenance intervals.
  • Page 39 11/04/26 16:13:45 32Z30600_039 CHANGING OIL Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to assure rapid and complete draining. Remove the oil drain bolt and sealing washer, remove the oil filler cap, and drain the oil. Reinstall the drain bolt and new sealing washer. Tighten the bolt securely.
  • Page 40 11/04/26 16:13:59 32Z30600_040 AIR CLEANER SERVICE A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when operating the generator in extremely dusty areas. Do not use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning. They are flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
  • Page 41 11/04/26 16:14:09 32Z30600_041 FUEL SEDIMENT CUP SERVICE Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area. The sediment cup prevents dirt or water that may be in the fuel tank from entering the carburetor.
  • Page 42 11/04/26 16:14:20 32Z30600_042 SPARK PLUG SERVICE Recommended spark plug: BPR5ES (NGK) To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits. If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Be careful not to touch the muffler.
  • Page 43 11/04/26 16:14:27 32Z30600_043 Make sure that the sealing washer is in good condition, and thread the spark plug in by hand to prevent cross-threading. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spark plug wrench to compress the washer. If installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug seats to compress the washer.
  • Page 44 11/04/26 16:14:35 32Z30600_044 SPARK ARRESTER CLEANING If the generator has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Allow it to cool before proceeding. Remove the two 5 mm screws, and remove the spark arrester. 5 mm SCREWS SPARK ARRESTER Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark arrester screen.

  • Page 45: Transporting/Storage

    11/04/26 16:14:46 32Z30600_045 TRANSPORTING/STORAGE Transporting To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during temporary storage, the generator should be secured upright in its normal operating position, with the engine switch OFF. The fuel valve lever should be turned OFF. When transporting the generator: Do not overfill the tank.
  • Page 46 11/04/26 16:14:50 32Z30600_046 Take care not to drop or strike the generator when transporting. Do not place heavy objects on the generator. When transporting the generator by loading it on to a vehicle, secure to the generator frame as shown.
  • Page 47 11/04/26 16:14:58 32Z30600_047 Storage Place a suitable gasoline container below the carburetor, and use a funnel to avoid spilling fuel. Remove the drain bolt and sealing washer and drain the gasoline from the carburetor. Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
  • Page 48 11/04/26 16:15:06 32Z30600_048 Remove the sediment cup (see page ), and then turn the fuel valve lever to the ON position.
