Check The Engine; Check The Gfci; Check The Battery - Honda EB10000 Owner's Manual

Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the generator is on a level
surface and the engine switch is in the OFF position.
Generators with standard equipment transport wheels must not be operated with
the wheels and/or stands removed or else the generator may not operate correctly
and can become damaged.

Check the Engine

• Before each use, look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil or
gasoline leaks.
• Check the engine oil level (see page 43). A low engine oil level will cause the
Oil Alert system to shut down the engine.
• Check the air filters (see page 44). Dirty air filters will restrict air flow to the fuel
system, reducing engine and generator performance.
• Check the fuel level (see page 19). Starting with a full tank will help to
eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.

Check the GFCI

Check the GFCI operation (see page 53) after starting the engine.

Check the Battery

Check the electrolyte level (see page 77). If the electrolyte level is below the
LOWER level, sulfation and battery plate damage will occur.
