CAUTION:
• Do not allow the starter grip to
fly back against the engine;
bring it back gently to avoid
damaging the starter.
• Never use starting additives
composed of flammable and
volatile substances which
might cause an explosion on
starting the engine.
4. As the engine begins to
warm up, bring the choke lever [1] gradually round to the
position on the opposite side to the symbol.
OIL ALERT SYSTEM
The oil alert system is designed to prevent any risk of damage to the
engine caused by insufficient oil in the crankcase. As soon as the oil
level drops below the safe limit, the oil alert system automatically
shuts down the engine (the engine switch remains in the “ON”
position).
Use of the starter will not restart the engine until the oil level
has been topped up.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Disconnect all appliances connected to the
generator receptacles.
2. Turn the engine switch “OFF” [2].
3. Close the fuel valve [3].
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
At high altitude, the carburettor air/petrol mixture is very rich,
causing a drop in engine performance and an increase in fuel
consumption.
When using the generator at an altitude of over 1 800 metres above
sea level, a smaller diameter jet needs to be fitted to the carburettor
and the mixture screw adjusted. This must be carried out by your
Honda dealer.
In spite of a proper adjustment to the fuel system, engine power will
still decrease by 3.5% for every 300 metres increase in altitude.
CAUTION:
• The generator performance will also suffer when used at an
altitude below that for which the fuel system has been adjusted; a
too weak petrol/air mixture will result in the engine overheating
and possibly suffering serious damage.
OPERATION OF THE GENERATOR
Your Honda generator is a reliable piece of
equipment, developed to ensure your safety. It
can help you carry out work more easily and
bring improvements to your leisure time, but
there is also a risk of electrocution if you do not
follow strictly the instructions for use given in
this chapter.
• Never connect the generator to a main socket.
• Do not connect any appliances to the receptacles before
starting the generator.
• Do not alter the internal wiring of the generator.
• Do not alter the engine settings: the voltage and frequency
of the generator output are directly linked to the engine
speed; these settings are adjusted in the factory.
• Only connect appliances in good working order: most
portable electrical tools are Class II (double insulation).
Equipment that does not meet this standard (tools with
metallic casing) has to powered via 3 conductor cable (with
an earth conductor) to ensure correct earthing in the event of
an electrical fault.
• Supply only machines whose voltage, as specified on their
rating plates, corresponds to that produced by the
generator.
• Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit
breakers specially matched to the generator. If the circuit
breakers require replacement they must be replaced with a
circuit breaker having identical ratings and performance
characteristics.
• Due to high mechanical stresses only tough rubber-
sheathed flexible cable (in accordance with IEC 245-4) or the
equivalent should be used.
• The generator meets the protective measure "electrical
separation with equipotential bonding "as stated in the
IEC 60364-4-41 : dec 2005 §413. (and VDE0100 part 728).
- The used power system is the IT system
- with neutral conductor N (for 3 phase machine) and
- non earthed equipotential bonding conductor PE,
connecting all exposed conductive parts of the
generator together.
- Earthing of the generator is for the proper function of this
protective measure not required.
- Only connect appliances in good working condition; most
portable electrical tools are Class II (double insulation).
Equipment that do not meet this standard (tools with
metallic casing) have to be powered via 3-conductor cable
(equipotential conductor PE conductor).
- Earthing the neutral conductor of the generator or any
point of the live conductors (vs coils) like center tap, is in
contradiction with the built-in protective measure.
- If the neutral conductor shall be earthed anyway, this
may only be performed by a professional electrician,
implementing the additional safety devices required
together with the new protective measure
(cf. IEC 364-4-41).
• Electric extension cables must be carefully selected, fitted
and maintained. Good condition insulators will ensure the
safety of the user. Cables must be inspected regularly; they
should be replaced, and not repaired, in the event of a defect.
Choose the length and cross-section of the extension cables
according to the work to be done (see table below for
indications).
