Page 10: Ground Terminal
Ground Terminal The generator ground terminal is connected to the frame of the generator, the metal non-current-carrying parts of the generator, and the ground terminals of each receptacle. Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator. -
Page 11: Ac Circuit Breaker
AC Circuit Breaker The circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant overload of the generator at the receptacle. If the circuit breaker is switched OFF automatically, check that the appliance is working properly and does not exceed the rated load capacity of the circuit before switching the circuit breaker ON again. -
Page 12: Generator Use
GENERATOR USE Connections to a Building Electrical System Connections for standby power to a building electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power, and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes. A transfer switch, which isolates generator power from utility power, is available through authorized Honda generator dealers. -
Page 13: Ac Receptacle Selection
With the voltage selector switch in the ‘‘120/240V’’ position, you can use the 120V and 120/240V receptacles simultaneously. If you are NOT using the 120/240V receptacle, but require more power from the 120V locking plug receptacle, then select the ‘‘120V ONLY’’ position. -

DC Operation The DC terminals may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive type batteries. Connecting the battery cables: 1. Before connecting the battery charging cables to a battery that is installed in a vehicle, disconnect the vehicle ground battery cable from the battery negative (－) terminal. WARNING: The battery gives off explosive gases;... -
Page 15: High Altitude Operation
High Altitude Operation At high altitude, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions. -
Page 16: Pre-Operation Check
PRE-OPERATION CHECK Engine oil NOTICE: Engine oil is major affecting engine performance and service life. Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine oils will damage the engine and not recommended. Check the oil level BEFORE EACH USE with the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped. -
Page 17: Fuel Recommendation
Fuel 1. Check the fuel level gauge, and refill the tank if the fuel level is low. 2. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill above the shoulder of the fuel strainer. WARNING: Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you can be burned or seriously injured when refueling. - Page 18 Oxygenated Fuels Some conventional gasoline are being blended with alcohol or an ether compound. These gasoline are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. To meet clean air standards, some areas of the United States and Canada use oxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions. If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirement.

5. Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge. Correct as necessary by carefully bending the side electrode. The gap should be: 0.028-0.031 in (0.70--0.80 mm) 0.028-0.031 in (0.70-0.80mm ) SPARK PLUG WRENCH PLUG CAP 7. Check that the spark plug washer is in good condition, and thread the sparkplug in by hand to prevent cross-threading. -
Page 27: Transporting/Storage
TRANSPORTING STORAGE When transporting the generator, turn the engine switch and the fuel valve OFF and keep the generator level to prevent fuel spillage. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may ignite. WARNING: Contact with a hot engine or exhaust system can cause serious burns or fires. - Page 28 Storage Procedure 1. Drain the carburetor by loosening the drain screw. Drain the gasoline into a suitable container. WARNING: Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Perform this task in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area during this procedure.
