1. THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER SERVICING

The service and repair information contained in this manual is intended for use by qualified, professional technicians.
Attempting service or repairs without the proper training, tools, and equipment could cause injury to you and/or others.
It could also damage the generator or create an unsafe condition.
This manual describes the proper methods and procedures for performing service, maintenance, and repairs. Some
procedures require the use of special tools. Any person who intends to use a replacement part, service procedure, or a
tool that is not recommended by Honda, must determine the risks to their personal safety and the safe operation of the
generator.
If you need to replace a part, use genuine Honda parts with the correct part number, or an equivalent part. We strongly
recommend that you do not use replacement parts of inferior quality.
For Your Customer's Safety
Proper service and maintenance are essential to the
customer's safety and the reliability of the generator. Any error
or oversight while servicing a generator can result in faulty
operation, damage to the generator, or injury to others.
For Your Safety
Because this manual is intended for the professional service
technician, we do not provide warnings about many basic shop
safety practices (e. g., Hot parts – wear gloves). If you have not
received shop safety training or do not feel confident about
your knowledge of safe servicing practices, we recommend
that you do not attempt to perform the procedures described in
this manual.
Some of the most important precautions are given below.
However, we cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that
can arise in performing maintenance or repairs. Only you can
decide whether or not you should perform a given task.

2. IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Make sure you have a clear understanding of all basic shop safety practices and that you are wearing appropriate
clothing and using safety equipment. When performing any service task, be especially careful of the following:
• Read all of the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools, the replacement or repair parts, and
the skills required to perform the tasks safely and completely.
• Protect your eyes by using proper safety glasses, goggles, or face shields any time you hammer, drill, grind, or work
around pressurized air or liquids, and springs or other stored-energy components. If there is any doubt, put on eye
protection.
• Use other protective wear when necessary, for example, gloves or safety shoes. Handling hot or sharp parts can cause
severe burns or cuts. Before you grab something that looks like it can hurt you, stop and put on gloves.
