PRE-OPERATION CHECK
To carry out this series of checks, place the generator on
stable and horizontal ground, with the engine off and the spark
plug cap removed.
Be careful not to touch the hot metallic parts of the engine
when checking the oil level.
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
CAUTION:
• The engine oil is an important factor which affects the engine’s
performance and its operational life.
• Running the engine with insufficient oil can seriously damage the
engine.
• Use of non-detergent or vegetable oils is not recommended.
Use Honda 4-stroke oil or a highly detergent engine oil of equivalent
quality, classified as API categories SG, SF, CC or CD. SAE 10W30
oil is recommended for general use at all temperatures, but it is
suggested that a viscosity appropriate to the average temperature
in the area of use is chosen from the table.
1. Remove the oil filler cap [3]
and wipe the dipstick [4] with
a clean cloth.
2. Insert the dipstick into the
filler hole without screwing it
in.
3. If the level is too low, add the
recommended oil until the
level reaches the top of the
filler neck.
CHECKING THE PETROL LEVEL
Do not fill the tank above the
red mark [5] located in the
filling port.
After filling up, check that the
fuel tank cap is properly and
fully screwed in.
DO NOT LEAVE PETROL
WITHIN THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
CAUTION:
• Never use a gas-oil mixture.
• Only use unleaded petrol 95 or 98.
• Take care to ensure that no dirt or water gets in the fuel tank.
• Do not use dirty or contaminated fuel (water, dust, ...), or fuel
which is too old. The quality of unleaded petrol deteriorates with
time. Do not keep fuel for more than one month. Capacity of fuel
tank.
Capacity of fuel tank:
FUEL CONTAINING ALCOHOL
If you intend to use fuel with alcohol, ensure that its octane number
is at least as high as that recommended by Honda (86). There are
two types of fuel/alcohol mixtures: one contains ethanol and the
other methanol.
Do not use mixtures containing more than 10 % ethanol, or fuel
containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol), which do not contain
cosolvents, or corrosion inhibitors for methanol.
In the case of a mixture containing methanol with addition of
cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors, limit the proportion to 5 % of
methanol.
NOTE:
The guarantee does not cover damage caused to the fuel
system or engine performance problems resulting from the use of
fuel containing alcohol. Honda does not give its approval to the use
of fuels containing methyl alcohol since their suitability is not yet
proven.
GENERATING
SET USE
STARTING THE ENGINE
CAUTION:
• Check that no appliances are connected to the generator
receptacles.
1. Turn the fuel valve “ON” [6]
(direction of the arrow “ON”),
close the choke by turning
the lever [7] towards the
symbol.
NOTE:
Do not use the choke
when the engine is warm or the
ambient temperature is high.
2. Turn the engine switch “ON” [8].
3. Pull the starter grip [9] lightly until resistance is felt, then give a
sharp tug. This precaution is necessary to reduce the dangers
of injury caused by the sudden change of rotation resistance of
the engine starter.
