If the generator is overloaded (see page 46), or if there is a short circuit in a connected appliance, the overload alarm indicator (red) will go ON. The overload alarm indicator (red) will stay ON, and after about 10 seconds when an overload or about 5 seconds in case of a short circuit, current to the connected appliance(s) will shut off, and the output indicator (green) will go OFF. Stop the engine and investigate the problem. Determine if the cause is a short circuit in a connected appliance or an overload. Correct the problem and restart the generator. AC Applications Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:

  • Make sure that it is in good working order. A faulty appliance or power cord can create a potential for electrical shock.
  • If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the appliance or the rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded. Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for startup. Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Maximum power is:

For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power. Rated power is:

In either case, the total power requirements (VA) of all appliances connected must be considered. Appliance and power tool manufacturers usually list rating information near the model number or serial number. Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload alarm indicator (red) may damage the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily lights the overload alarm indicator (red) may shorten the service life of the generator.OPERATION

Before connecting an appliance to either generator, make sure that the appliance is in good working order and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the receptacle. Most motorized appliances require more than their electrical rating for startup. When an electric motor is started, the overload alarm indicator (red) may come ON. This is normal if the overload alarm indicator (red) goes OFF within 4 seconds. If the Oil Alert/Check indicator (red) blink continuously, consult an authorized Honda servicing dealer. During parallel operation, the Eco Throttle switch should be in the same position on both generators.

Each time you push the Eco Throttle Switch, the system turns on and off. With the system in the ON, engine speed is automatically lowered when loads are reduced, turned off, or disconnected. When appliances are turned on or reconnected, the engine returns to the proper speed to power the electrical load. In the OFF, the Eco Throttle system does not operate. Appliances with large start-up power demands may not allow the engine to reach normal operating rpm when they are connected to the generator. Turn the Eco Throttle system to the OFF and connect the appliance to the generator. If the engine still will not reach normal operating speed, check that the appliance does not exceed the rated load capacity of the generator. If high electrical loads are connected simultaneously, turn the Eco Throttle system to the OFF to reduce voltage changes. The Eco Throttle system is not effective for use with appliances or tools that require only momentary power. If the tool or appliance will be turned ON and OFF quickly, the Eco Throttle system should be in the OFF. Eco Throttle system ON Indicator lights on (green)

  • The Eco Throttle system does not operate.

STANDBY POWER Connections to a Building’s Electrical System Connections for standby power to a building’s 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. In some areas, generators are required by law to be registered with local utility companies. Check local regulations for proper registration and use procedures. System Ground This generator has a system ground that connects the generator frame components to ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The system ground is not connected to the AC neutral wire. Improper connections to a building’s electrical system can allow current from the generator to backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage, and the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored. Consult the utility company or a qualified electrician prior to making any power connections.OPERATION

Special Requirements Do not lay the generator on its side when moving, storing, or operating it. Oil and fuel may leak and damage the engine or your property. There may be applicable laws, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator. Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction.

  • In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local utility companies.
  • If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be additional regulations that must be observed.53

Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free operation. It will also help reduce air pollution. To help you properly care for your generator, the following pages include a maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and simple maintenance procedures using basic hand tools. Other service tasks that are more difficult or require special tools are best handled by professionals and are normally performed by a Honda technician or other qualified mechanic. The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If you operate your generator under unusual conditions, such as sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use it in dusty conditions, consult your servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use. Remember that an authorized Honda servicing dealer knows your generator best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it. To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, Honda Genuine parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement. Failure to properly maintain this generator, or failing to correct a problem before operation, could result in a significant malfunction. Some malfunctions can cause serious injuries or death. Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations and schedules in this owner’s manual.SERVICING YOUR GENERATOR

MAINTENANCE SAFETY Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task. Safety Precautions Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and skills required.

  • Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs. This will eliminate several potential hazards: – Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust Operate outside away from open windows or doors with engine exhaust directed away from occupied structures. – Burns from hot parts Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching. – Injury from moving parts Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
  • To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when working around gasoline. Use only a non-flammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all fuel-related parts. Improper maintenance can cause an unsafe condition. Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions can cause serious injuries or death. Always follow the procedures and precautions in this owner’s manual.SERVICING YOUR GENERATOR

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Failure to follow this maintenance schedule could result in non-warrantable failures. (1) Service more frequently when used in dusty areas. (2) These items should be serviced by your servicing dealer, unless you have the proper tools and are mechanically proficient. Refer to the Honda shop manual for service procedures. (3) For commercial use, log hours of operation to determine proper maintenance intervals. This generator is equipped with a catalytic converter. If the engine is not properly maintained, the catalyst in the muffler may lose effectiveness. REGULAR SERVICE PERIOD (3) Perform at every indicated month or operating hour interval, whichever comes first. ITEM Each use First month

Drain the oil while the engine is warm to assure rapid and complete draining.

1. Turn the engine switch to the OFF position (see page 42) to reduce the

possibility of fuel leakage.

2. Loosen the maintenance cover screw and remove the maintenance cover

3. Place a suitable container next to the engine to catch the used oil.

4. Remove the oil filler cap, and drain the oil into the container by tipping the

engine toward the oil filler neck. Improper disposal of engine oil can be harmful to the environment. If you change your own oil, please dispose of the used oil properly. Do not discard it in a trash bin, dump it on the ground, or pour it down the drain.

5. With the generator in a level position, fill with the recommended oil to the

upper limit. Do not overfill.

  • “Upper limit” means the oil exists to the oil filler neck. Refer to "ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS" in page 17. Maximum oil capacity: 0.46 L (0.48 US qt, 0.40 Imp qt)

6. Reinstall the oil filler cap securely.

7. Reinstall the maintenance cover and tighten the maintenance cover screw

securely. Wash your hands with soap and water after handling used oil.

UPPER LIMIT (The oil exists to the oil filler neck.)

Foam Air Filter Cleaning A dirty foam air filter will restrict air flow to the fuel system, reducing engine performance. If you operate the generator in very dusty areas, clean the foam air filter more frequently than specified in the Maintenance Schedule.

1. Clean the foam air filter in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow to dry

thoroughly, or clean in nonflammable solvent and allow to dry.

2. Dip the foam air filter in clean engine oil, and then squeeze out all excess oil.

The engine will smoke when started if too much oil is left in the filter.

3. Wipe dirt from inside of the air cleaner cover using a moist rag.

If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Allow the muffler to cool before servicing the spark arrester. Clean the spark arrester as follows:

1. Remove the two 6×15 mm screws, and the rear cover.

2. Remove the 4 mm screw, and the spark arrester.

3. Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark arrester screen.

Be careful to avoid damaging the screen. The spark arrester must be free of breaks and tears. Replace the spark arrester if it is damaged.

4. Install the spark arrester, the muffler protector, and the rear cover in the

reverse order of removal. SPARK ARRESTER 4 mm SCREW62 STORAGE STORAGE PREPARATION Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your generator trouble-free and looking good. The following steps will help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your generator’s function and appearance, and will make the engine easier to start when you use the generator again. Cleaning Wipe the generator with a moist cloth. After the generator has dried, touch up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil. Fuel Depending on the region where you operate your equipment, fuel formulations may deteriorate and oxidize rapidly. Fuel deterioration and oxidation can occur in as little as 30 days and may cause damage to the fuel system. Please check with your servicing dealer for local storage recommendations. Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the gasoline in your generator deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the fuel system components serviced or replaced. The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank without causing functional problems will vary with such factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures, and whether the fuel tank is partly or completely filled. The air in a partly filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration problems may occur within a few months, or even less if the gasoline was not fresh when you filled the fuel tank.STORAGE

Service according to the table below:

Less than 1 month No preparation required. 1 month to 1 year Drain the fuel tank (see page 64). 1 year or more Drain the fuel tank (see page 64). Remove the spark plug. Put a teaspoon of engine oil into the cylinder. Turn the engine slowly with the pull rope to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug. Change the engine oil (see page 56).STORAGE

Unscrew the fuel filler cap (see page 19), remove the fuel strainer, and empty the fuel tank into an approved gasoline container. We recommend using a commercially available gasoline hand pump to empty the tank. Do not use an electric pump. Siphon the gasoline by inserting the tip of the hand pump into the side of the pump guard, as shown in the figure below. Reinstall the fuel strainer and the fuel filler cap. Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.

  • Stop the engine and let it cool before handling fuel.
  • Keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
  • Handle fuel only outdoors.
  • Keep away from your vehicle.

Engine Oil Change the engine oil (see page 56). Engine Cylinder

) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.

3. Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder.

4. Reinstall the spark plug (see page 58).

5. 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. Storing the engine in this position will help to protect it from internal corrosion. Return the starter grip gently.STORAGE

STORAGE PRECAUTIONS If your generator will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also, avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor, or where power tools are operated. If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that promotes rust and corrosion. Place the generator on a level surface. Tilting or laying it on its side can cause fuel or oil leakage. With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the generator to keep out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt some materials. Do not use a plastic sheet as a dust cover. A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the generator, promoting rust and corrosion.

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE

Check your generator as described in the "BEFORE OPERATION" chapter of this manual (see page 33). If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over time, causing hard starting. If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.67 TRANSPORTING Drain the fuel from the fuel tank when transporting. To prevent spillage when transporting, the generator should be secured upright in its normal operating position. Do not lay the generator on its side when moving, storing, or operating it. Oil or fuel may leak and damage the engine or your property. Do not operate the generator while it is being transported or while it is mounted to any type of vehicle, trailer, or boat. Take care not to drop or strike the generator when transporting. Do not place heavy objects on the generator. An engine that has been running will remain very hot for a period of time. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you and ignite some material. If the generator has been used, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before loading the generator on the transport vehicle.TRANSPORTING

To transport the generator, hold the holding part (shaded areas in the figure below). Avoid a place exposed to direct sunlight when putting the generator on a vehicle. If the generator is left in an enclosed vehicle for many hours, high temperature inside the vehicle could cause fuel to vaporize resulting in a possible explosion. HOLDING PART69
