Gasolines Containing Alcohol
Gasoline spoils very quickly depending on factors such as light
exposure, temperature and time.
Using contaminated gasoline can seriously damage the engine
(caburetor clogged, valve stuck).
Such damage due to spoiled fuel is disallowed from coverage by the
warrantry.
To avoid this please strictly follow these recommendations:
In worst cases, gasoline can be contaminated within 30 days.
Only use specified gasoline (see page ).
If long storage (more than 30 days) is foreseen, drain fuel tank and
carburetor (see page ).
To slow deterioration, keep gasoline in a certified fuel container.
Use fresh and clean gasoline.
If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms while using a
gasoline that contains alcohol, or one that you think contains
alcohol, switch to a gasoline that you know does not contain alcohol.
Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to find out if the
fuel contains alcohol, if it does, confirm the type and percentage of
alcohol used.
Honda cannot endorse the use of fuels containing methanol since
evidence of their suitability is as yet incomplete.
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting
from the use of fuels that contain alcohol is not covered under the
warranty.
Do not use gasohol that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not use
gasoline containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not
also contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never
use gasoline containing more than 5% methanol, even if it has
cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure its
octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by Honda. There
are two types of ‘‘gasohol’’: one containing ethanol, and the other
containing methanol.

Never run the engine without the air cleaner element. Rapid engine
wear will result from contaminants, such as dust and dirt, being
drawn through the carburetor, into the engine.
AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
AIR CLEANER COVER
CLIP
Check the air cleaner.
Unsnap the two air cleaner cover clips, remove the air cleaner cover,
and remove the air cleaner element.
Check the air cleaner element to be sure it is clean and in good
condition.
Clean or replace the air cleaner element if necessary (see page ).

The battery contains sulfuric acid (battery fluid), which is highly
corrosive and poisonous. Getting battery fluid in your eyes or on
your skin can cause serious burns.
Check the battery fluid (CXS type).
Your generator’s engine charging system charges the battery while
the engine is running. However, if the generator is only used
periodically, the battery must be charged monthly to maintain the
battery service life.
Drink water or milk. Call a physician immediately.
Remove contaminated clothing. Flush the skin with large
quantities of water. Call a physician immediately.
Flush with water from a cup or other container for at least
fifteen minutes. (Water under pressure can damage the eye.) Call a
physician immediately.

BATTERY
The battery fluid level must be kept between the UPPER and LOWER
level marks. If the battery fluid level is below the LOWER level,
sulfation and battery plate damage will occur.
If rapid loss of battery fluid is experienced, or if your battery seems to
be weak causing slow operation of the starter motor, see your
authorized Honda generator dealer.
Locate the battery. Check the battery fluid level with the generator
on a level surface. Remove the battery cell caps.
Inspect the battery fluid level of each cell.
The battery fluid level must be kept between the UPPER and LOWER

High altitude operation
Operation of the generator at an altitude lower than the carburetor is
jetted for may result in reduced performance, overheating, and
serious engine damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be
excessively rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will
increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications
to the carburetor. If you always operate the generator at altitudes
higher than 1,500 meters above sea level, have your authorized Honda
dealer perform these carburetor modifications.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease
approximately 3.5% for each 300 meter increase in altitude. The affect
of altitude on the horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor
modification is made.

Oil Alert System
Automatic Engine Stop Function
Oil Alert Function
Overspeed Detection Function
Abnormal Voltage Detection Function
The Oil Alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by
an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the
crankcase falls below a safe limit, the Oil Alert system will
automatically shut down the engine (the engine switch will remain in
the ON position).
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level (see
page ) before troubleshooting in other areas.
During operation, the engine will automatically stop if there is not
enough oil in the tank. Moreover, if the generator is on a slope, the oil
alert function may operate, and stop the engine.
To protect the engine from exceeding the engine load, the engine will
automatically stop if the engine speed becomes abnormal.
The engine will automatically stop during generation when it detects
abnormal voltage.
If the engine stops, inspect the amount of engine oil, and a while, then
try to restart the engine. When the engine will not start at all, take your
generator to the dealer.
