Follow the instructions included with the parallel kit. Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:

• Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords ca n 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.

• Never connect different generator models.

• For parallel operation, use only a Honda approved parallel kit (optional equipment) when connecting one EU70is to another EU70is generator.

• Never connect or remove the parallel operation cable when the generator is running.

• For single generator operation, the parallel operation cable must be disconnected from both generato rs. 36Z376000.book 44 ページ ２０１４年９月１９日　金曜日　午後６時２６分45 OPERATION 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 in parallel operation is:

14.0 kVA (Observe to the Parallel Kit power limit instruction.)

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

11.0 kVA (Observe to the Parallel Kit power limit instruction.)

In either case, the total power requirements (VA) of all appliances connected must be considered. Appliance and po wer tool manufacturers usually list rating information near the model number or serial number. Substantial overloading that continuously lights the red OVERLOAD ALARM indicator may damage the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily lights the red OVERLOAD ALARM indicator may shorten the service life of the generator. 36Z376000.book 45 ページ ２０１４年９月１９日　金曜日　午後６時２６分46 OPERATION ECO-THROTTLE SYSTEM With the switch in the ON position, engine speed is autom atically 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 position, 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-Th rottle switch to the OFF position 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 switch to the OFF po sition to reduce voltage changes. The Eco-Throttle system is no t effective for us e with appliances or tools that require only momentary power. If the tool or appliance will be turned ON and OFF quickly, the Eco-Throttle switch should be in the OFF position.

36Z376000.book 66 ページ ２０１４年９月１９日　金曜日　午後６時２６分67 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 an d 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, tou ch 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 i t 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 temperature s, and whether the fuel tank is partially or completely filled. The air in a partially 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. 36Z376000.book 67 ページ ２０１４年９月１９日　金曜日　午後６時２６分68 STORAGE Draining the Fuel Tank Unscrew the fuel tank cap, remove the fuel filter, 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. Reinstall the fuel filter and the fuel tank 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.

• Wipe up spills immediately. FUEL FILTER

) of clean engine oil into the cylinder. 4.Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder. 5.Reinstall the spark plug (s ee page 60). 6.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. Battery Charge the battery before storing the generator (see page 65). 36Z376000.book 69 ページ ２０１４年９月１９日　金曜日　午後６時２６分70 STORAGE STORAGE PRECAUTIONS If your generator will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoli ne 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 can cause fuel or oil leakage. With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the generator to keep out dust. A hot en gine and exhaust system can i gnite or melt some materials. Do not use a plastic sheet as a dust cover. A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the generator, prom oting rust and corrosion. Fully charge the battery. Recharge the battery once a month (see page 65).

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE

Check your generator as described in the BEFORE OPERATION chapter of this manual (see page 29). If the g enerator was stored for 1 year or longer, drain the fuel tank (see page 68) a nd refuel 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 cylinde r was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal. 36Z376000.book 70 ページ ２０１５年１０月２１日　水曜日　午後２時４４分71 TRANSPORTING If the generator has been running, allow the engine to cool for at least 15 minutes before loading the generator on the transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials. Keep the generator level when transporting to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. When using ropes or tie-down straps to secure the gen erator for transportation, be sure to only use the frame bars as attachment points. Do not fasten ropes or straps to any portions of the generator body or the folding handle. When transporting the generator:

• Do not overfill the tank.

• Do not operate the generator while it is on a vehicle. Take the generator off the vehicle and use it in a well ventilated place.

• Avoid a place exposed to direct sunlight when putting the generator on a vehicle. If the gene rator is left in an enclosed vehicle for many hours, high temperature inside the vehicle could cause fuel to vaporize resulting in a possible explosion.

• Do not drive on a rough road for an extended period with the generator on board. If you must transpor t the generator on a rough road, drain the fuel from the generator beforehand. 36Z376000.book 71 ページ ２０１５年１０月１６日　金曜日　午後５時３５分72 TRANSPORTING

• Use a hoist and attach it on the hanger (optional parts) of your generator to lift it up for transportation.

• When you are to lift up your generator with your assistants by hands, take care not to lift it up by holding the handle or rear bar of the generator. Be sure to lift up the generator by holding the holding part (shaded areas in the figure below).

Make sure the engine is off before you begin any assembly, maintenance, or repairs. This will help eliminate several potential hazards: Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust. Operate outside away from open windows or doors. Burns from hot parts. Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching. Injury from moving parts. Do not run the engine unless the instruction tells you to do so. Even then, keep your hands, fingers, and clothing away. Do not run the engine when any protective guard or shield is removed.

• To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be careful when working arou nd gasoline or batteries. Use only a non-flammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep all cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all fuel-related parts. 36Z376000.book 81 ページ ２０１４年９月１９日　金曜日　午後６時２６分82 ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLY Unpacking 1.Remove the generator and loose parts box from the carton. 2.Compare the loose parts with the inventory list below.
