5. BEFORE STARTING ENGINE Fill recommended engine oil to the upper limit mark if the oil is short. Change oil if it becomes dirty or discolored. Oil capacity at upper limit mark: See attached HONDA OWNER’S MANUAL. UPPER LIMIT LOWER LIMIT Remove the tank cap and check the fuel level.
6. OPERATION STARTING THE ENGINE (Refer to HONDA OWNER’S MANUAL for engine.) Make sure that disconnect all electrical loads from panel receptacles. The generator may be hard to start if a load is connected. Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” position. If you want to start operate the choke manually, move the choke knob to the “CLOSED”...

7. STOPPING ENGINE Turn the circuit breaker knob to the “OFF” position. Turn the engine key switch to the “OFF” position. Disconnect all electrical loads from panel receptacles. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position. Never leave an appliance plugged into the generator when you stop the generator as damage could result to the generator and / or appliance.
8. MAINTENANCE Periodic inspection and adjustment of HONDA ENGINE & Generator is essential if high-level performance is to be maintained. Regular maintenance will also ensure a long service life. The required service intervals and kind of maintenance to be performed are described on HONDA OWNER’S MANUAL, so please see HONDA OWNER’S MANUAL.

Engine oil change Drain the oil while the engine is warm to assure rapid and complete draining. 1) Remove the drain plug and sealing washer, oil filler cap, and drain the oil. 2) Reinstall the drain plug and sealing washer. Tighten the plug securely. 3) Refill with the recommended oil and check the level.
Page 20
3) Clean the filter mounting base, and coat the seal of the new oil filter with clean engine oil. Oil filter Used only a genuine HONDA oil filter or a filter of equivalent quality specified for your model. Using the wrong filter, or a non-HONDA filter which is not of equivalent quality, may cause engine damage.

Refueling Fuel tank capacity: 35ℓ (9.25 USG) Check the fuel level gauge, and refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. ・Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. ・Handle fuel only outdoors.
Page 22
Spark plug service Recommended spark plugs: J16CR-U (DENSO) , ZGR5A (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 by very hot. Be careful not to touch the muffler.
Page 23
The spark plug must be securely tightened. An improperly tightened spark plug can become very hot and could damage the engine. Never use spark plugs which have an improper heat range. Use only the recommended spark plugs or equivalent. Air cleaner service A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor.
Page 24
Never try to brush off dirty; brushing will force dirt into the fibers. Replace the paper element if it is excessively dirty. Outer filter; clean in warm soapy water, rinse and allow to dry thoroughly. Squeeze it well after dipping it into the clean engine oil. 6) Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner body and cover, using a moist rag.

Fuse replacement If the fuse is blown, the engine will not start until it is replaced. 1) Turn the engine switch OFF 2) Remove the fuse holder and replace the fuse. Use only a 30A fuse. If frequent fuse failure occurs, determine the cause and correct the problem before attempting to operate the generator further.

3) Remove the battery from the battery tray. Inspection 1) Remove the battery cell caps. 2) Inspect the electrolyte level of each cell. The electrolyte level must be maintained between the UPPER and LOWER limit marks. 3) If the electrolyte level is near the LOWER mark, add distilled water as necessary.

Charging The battery is rated at 28AH(ampere-hour). 10% of the ampere-hour rating should be used as the charging current. A battery charger should be used that can be adjusted to deliver 1.4 amps. The battery gives off expiosive hydrogen gas during normal operation. A spark or open flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or seriously hurt you.
After removal from storage, drain the stored gasoline into a suitable container, and fill with fresh gasoline before starting. * Use gasoline conditioners that are formulated to extend storage life. Contact your authorized DAISHIN dealer for conditioner recommendations. - 27 -...

1) Drain the carburetor by loosening the drain screw. Drain the gasoline into a suitable container. 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.
3) Remove the spark plug, and pour about a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Crank the engine several revolutions distribute the oil, then reinstall the spark plug. 4) Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, the piston is coming up on its compression stroke and both the intake and exhaust valves are closed.
