GENERATOR SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Honda generators are designed for use with electrical equipment that
has suitable
power requirements. Other uses can result in injury to the
operator or damage to the generator and other property.
Most injuries or property damage can be prevented if you follow all
instructions in th
is manual and on the generator. The most common
hazards are discussed below, along with the best way to protect
yourself and others.
Operator Responsibility
Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of emergency.
Understand the use of all generator controls, output receptacles, and
connections.
Be sure that anyone who operates the generator receives proper
in
structio
n. Do not let children operate the generator without parental
supervision.
Carbon Monoxide Hazards
A generator's exhaust contains toxic carbon monoxide, which you
cannot see or
smell. Br
eathing carbon monoxide can KILL YOU IN
MINUTES. To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, follow these
instructions when operating a generator:
Only run a generator OUTSIDE, far away from windows, doors, and
ven
ts.
Never operate a generator inside a house, garage, basement, crawl
space
, or any enclosed or partially enclosed space.
Never operate a generator near open doors or windows.
Get fresh air and seek medical attention immediatel
y if you suspect
you have inhaled carbon monoxide.
Early symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure include headache,
fatigu
e, shortness of breath, nausea, and dizziness. Continued exposure
to carbon monoxide can cause loss of muscular coordination, loss of
consciousness, and then death.
To alert you to potentially dangerous levels of carbon monoxide coming
fro
m a generator operating outside or from other sources, install battery
operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide alarms
with battery back-up on every level of the home and outside sleeping
areas, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

GENERATOR SAFETY
Electric Shock Hazards
The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious
shock or electrocution if misused.
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as
rain or sno
w, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands
are wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry.
If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather,
check the Ground F
ault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) receptacle and all
other electrical components on the control panel before each use.
Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical
components that could result in electrocution.
Do not connect to a building’s electrical s
y
stem unless an isolation
switch has been installed by a qualified electrician.
Fire and Burn Hazards
The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
Keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings
and other equ
ipment during operation.
Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
Keep flammable materials away from the generator.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a
wh
ile after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler
while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the generator
indoors.

CONTROLS & FEATURES
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
All receptacles on the generator are protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) for protection against the shock hazard of ground
fault current. The GFCI has a TEST and RESET button and is connected
to the AC circuit breaker.
An example of ground-fault current is the current
that would flow
through a person who is using an appliance with faulty insulation and,
at the same time, is in contact with an electrical ground such as a
plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth. The GFCI will protect against
current flowing through that person.
The GFCI will not protect against short circuit
s or overloads. The AC
circuit breaker and AC circuit protector provide that protection (see
pages 15 and 16).
GFCIs can be expected to interrupt power supply if there are ground
fau
l
ts or stray current imposed on the wiring by other electrical
devices, wiring, or equipment. As a result there is a risk of interruption
if used with critical systems such as life support equipment, so users
should first carefully consider whether it is appropriate to use this
portable generator to power such equipment.

BEFORE OPERATION
ARE YOU READY TO GET STARTED?
Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in pr
eparation will
significantly reduce your risk of injury.
Knowledge
Read and u
nderstand this manual. Know what the controls do and how
to operate them.
Familiarize yourself with the generator and its operation before you
begin
using it. Know how to quickly shut off the generator in case of an
emergency.
If the generator is being used to power appliances, be sure that they do
not ex
ceed the generator’s load rating (see page 33).
IS YOUR GENERATOR READY TO GO?
For your safety, to ensure compliance with environmental regulations,
and t
o
maximize the service life of your equipment, it is very important
to take a few moments before you operate the generator to check its
condition. Be sure to take care of any problem you find, or have your
servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the generator.
Improperly maintaining this
generator, or failing to correct a
problem before operation, could
cause a malfunction in which you
could be seriously injured.
Always perform a pre-operation
inspection bef
ore each operation,
and correct any problem.
31Z238010.book 22 ページ 2014年1月27日 月曜日 午後12時20分

BEFORE OPERATION
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 lev
el 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 45). A low oil level will cause the Oil
Alert system to shut down the engine or prevent it from starting.
Check the air cleaner (see page 48). A dirty air cleaner element will
restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine and generator
per
f
ormance.
Check the fuel level (see page 43). Starting with a full tank will help
to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
Check the GFCI
Check the GFCI operation (see page 29) after starting the engine.

OPERATION
SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Before operating the generator for the first time, review chapters
GENERAT
OR SAFETY (see page 6) and BEFORE OPERATION (see page
22
).
For your safety, do not operate the generator in an enclosed area such
as a gara
ge. Your generator’s exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas that can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause
illness or death.
Before connecting an AC appliance or power cord to the generator:
Use grounded 3-prong extension cords, tools, and appliances, or
d
oubl
e-insulated tools and appliances.
Inspect cords and plugs, and replace if damaged.
Do not use cord lengths greater than 164 feet (50 meters), and do
not use multiple t
ools and appliances with built-in noise filters. Such
use may activate the GFCI and trip the circuit breaker.
Make sure that the appliance is in good working order. Faulty
appliances or
po
wer cords can create a potential for electric shock.
Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not
ex
ceed the rated power of the generator or the receptacle being used.
Operate the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings
and other equ
ipment.
Do not operate the generator in an enclosed structure.
Do not place flammable objects close to the engine.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas that can build up to
dangerous levels in closed areas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause unconsciousness or death.
Never run the generator in a closed,
or ev
en partly closed area where
people may be present.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTENANCE
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 mai
ntenance 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
yo
u 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 know
s your
generator best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only ne
w, Honda Genuine
parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices
and
systems may be performed by any engine repair establishment or
individual, using parts that are ‘‘certified’’ to EPA standards.
Improper maintenance, or failure to
correct a problem before operation,
can cause a malfunction in which
you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the inspection and
maintenance r
ecommendations and
schedules in this owner’s manual.

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
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or
repair
s. This will 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 instructed to do so.
Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the
t
o
ols and skills required.
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.
Failure to properly follow
maintenance instructions and
precautions can cause you to be
seriously hurt or killed.

STORAGE
STORAGE PREPARATION
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your generator
tro
uble-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,
t
ouch
up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a
light film of oil.
Fuel
Dependi
ng on th
e 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 carburetor and/or 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 carburetor and other fuel system components serviced
or replaced.
The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and
carbur
et
or without causing functional problems will vary with such
factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures, 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.
The Distributor’s Limited Warranty does not
cover fuel system damage
or engine performance problems resulting from neglected storage
preparation.
You can extend fuel storage life by adding a gasoline stabilizer that is
fo
rmulated for that purpose, or you can avoid fuel deterioration
problems by draining the carburetor, sediment cup, and/or fuel tank.

STORAGE
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
If your generator will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and
carburetor, 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.
Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the engine
switch in
the OFF position, and the fuel valve lever in the OFF position
(see page 28) to reduce the possibility of leakage.
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 ho
t en
gine and exhaust system can ignite or melt some
materials.
Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cov
er. A nonporous cover will trap
moisture around the generator, promoting rust and corrosion.
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
Check y
our generator as described in the BEFORE OPERATION chapter
of this manual (see page 22).
If the generator was stored for 1 year or longer, drain the fuel tank (see
page 57) and refuel with fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of
gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.
Gasoline ox
idizes 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.

60
TRANSPORTING
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.
If the generator has been running, allow the engine to cool for at least
15 mi
nutes 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. Move the fuel valve lever to the OFF position. Do not use
the generator while it is being transported.
When using ropes or tie-down straps to secure the generator for
tran
sportation, 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
handle bar.
To lift the generator
Lift the generator by the lifting hanger. Do not try to lift the generator
by
any other part.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Carburetor Modification for 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.
High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to
the carbur
etor. If you always operate your generator at altitudes above
5,000 feet (1,500 meters), have your authorized Honda servicing
dealer perform this carburetor modification. This engine, when operated
at high altitude with the carburetor modifications for high altitude use,
will meet each emission standard throughout its useful life.
Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease
about 3.5%
for each 1,000-foot (300-meter) increase in altitude. The
effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no
carburetor modification is made.
When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, the
air/fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. Operation at
altitudes below 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) with a modified carburetor
may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage.
For use at low altitudes, have your servicing dealer return the carburetor
to original factory specifications.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Emission Control System Information
Source of Emissions
The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen,
and h
ydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is
very important because, under certain conditions, they react to form
photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon monoxide
does not react in the same way, but it is toxic.
Honda utilizes appropriate air/fuel ratios and other emissions control
sy
stems to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of
nitrogen, and hydrocarbons.
Additionally, Honda fuel systems utilize components and control
technologies to
reduce evaporative emissions.
The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts
EPA and California regulations require all manufacturers to furnish
written instruction
s describing the operation and maintenance of
emission control systems.
The following instructions and procedures must be followed in order to
keep the Ho
nda engine emissions within the emission standards.
Tampering and Altering
Tampering is a violation of Federal and California law.
Tampering with or altering the emission control system may increase
emissions b
eyond the legal limit. Among those acts that constitute
tampering are:
Removal or alteration of any part of intake, fuel, or exhaust systems.
Altering or defeating the governor linkage or speed-adjusting
mechanism
t
o cause the engine to operate outside its design
parameters.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Problems That May Affect Emissions
If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine
inspected and repaired by your authorized Honda servicing dealer.
Hard starting or stalling after starting.
Rough idle.
Misfiring or backfiring under load.
Afterburning (backfiring).
Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems on your new Honda engine were
designed
, built, and certified to conform with applicable emission
regulations. We recommend the use of Honda Genuine parts whenever
you have maintenance done. These original-design replacement parts
are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts, so you
can be confident of their performance. The use of replacement parts
that are not of the original design and quality may impair the
effectiveness of your emission control system.
A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the responsibility that
the
part will not adv
ersely affect emission performance. The
manufacturer or rebuilder of the part must certify that use of the part
will not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emission
regulations.
Maintenance
Follow the MA
INTENANCE SCHEDULE on page 42. Remember that
this schedule is based on the assumption that yo
ur machine will be
used for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load or high-temperature
operation, or use in dusty conditions, will require more frequent service.
