Check The Engine - Honda EU3000i Handi Owner's Manual

To prevent a possible fire, keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter)
away from building walls and other equipment during operation. Do not
place flammable objects close to the engine.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the generator is on
a level surface and the engine switch is in the OFF position.

Check the Engine

• Before each use, look around and underneath the engine for signs
of oil or gasoline leaks.
• Check the oil level (see page 46). A low oil level will cause the Oil
Alert system to shut down the engine.
• Check the air filter (see page 51). A dirty air filter will restrict air flow
to the carburetor, reducing engine and generator performance.
• Check the fuel level (see page 43). Starting with a full tank will help
to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
