Honda Generators Brochure Using inverter technology, Honda engineers have integrated parts from the engine Honda Portable Generator Brochure plus minimal maintenance equals happy customers. Use the two illustrations on these pages to locate and identify the most frequently used controls. The engine switch controls the ignition system, and it operates the electric starter.

Used when the battery voltage is too low to turn the starter motor. Pulling the starter grip operates the recoil starter to crank the engine for starting. Do not exceed 20 degrees from horizontal when pulling the starter grip. Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter. Do not let the starter rope rub against the generator body or the rope will wear out prematurely.

The EcoThrottle system automatically reduces engine speed when all loads are turned off or disconnected. When appliances are turned on or reconnected, the engine returns to the proper speed to power the electrical load.

If high electrical loads are connected simultaneously, turn the EcoThrottle switch to the OFF position to reduce voltage changes.

ON Recommended to minimize fuel consumption and further reduce noise levels when a reduced load or no load is applied to the generator.

The most power will be available at the 30A V locking plug receptacle. The AC circuit protectors will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant overload of the generator at each receptacle.

If an AC circuit protector switches OFF automatically, check that the appliance is working properly and does not exceed the rated load capacity of the circuit before resetting the AC circuit protector ON. The foldable handle is intended for ease of transportation and should be folded when the generator is stationary. Do not rest objects on the extended the handle. Press both handle lock levers downward. Open the maintenance cover, too, to use the recoil starter when the battery is discharged.

Be sure to close the maintenance cover while the generator is running. The ground terminal is connected to the frame of the generator, the metal non-current-carrying parts of the generator, and the ground terminals of each receptacle. Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.

The output indicator green is illuminated when the generator is operating normally. It indicates that the generator is producing electrical power at the receptacles. If the generator is overloaded, or if there is a short circuit in a connected appliance, or if the inverter is overheated, the overload indicator red will go ON.

When the generator is operating overloaded, the overload indicator red will stay ON, and after about five seconds, current to the connected appliance s will shut off, and the output indicator green will go OFF.

Oil Alert Indicator. 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 can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert indicator comes on and the Oil Alert system automatically stops engine the engine switch will remains the ON position. If the engine stops or the Oil Alert indicator comes on when you turn the engine switch to START or pull the starter grip, check the engine oil level see page 46 before troubleshooting in other areas.

Even when oil is added to the engine, the generator will not restart until the Oil Alert indicator is reset. To reset the Oil Alert indicator, turn the engine switch OFF, add the proper amount of oil see page 47 , and then turn the engine switch back ON.

It blinks. The i-Monitor is a user interface that allows the operator to view when the generator is running total operating time in hours, generator output, engine RPM, battery voltage and error messages. The different display modes are selected by pressing the i-Monitor button. During start up, the i-Monitor display and all three indicators will simultaneously blink once.

The condition of the i-Monitor display and all three indicators can be checked. Once the generator is running, the Output indicator green and the i-Monitor display will remain lit. If the key is left in the ON position for over 30 seconds without starting the engine, the display will start to flash.

The i-Monitor display is divided into two screens. The single-digit screen displays the i-Monitor mode which is represented by a number 1 through 4. The four-digit screen displays the four mode values or any activated error messages.

This mode displays the total operating hours of the generator. When the generator is running, the total operating time accumulates. This mode displays an approximate generator output on the display screen. The output is expressed in VA volt-amperes. The output value is not an exact measurement and should be regarded as a reference only. Power output will not display until a load is connected to the generator.

Use the recoil starter to start the generator. Have the battery recharged and checked see page If the generator has a system malfunction, it will show an error message on the i-Monitor display.

During remote control operation, an E error message may display if the starter button is pressed for more than 10 seconds. With an E error message, the engine will stay running and the electrical output may stay constant. Normal remote control operation will be restored after the E error message clears. If the E error message will not clear or if any other error message displays, contact an authorized Honda generator dealer. The fuel gauge is a mechanical device that measures the fuel level in the tank.

The red indicator in the window will reference the level in relation to full or empty. To provide increased operating time, start with a full tank before beginning operation. Check the fuel level with the generator on a level surface. Always refuel with the engine OFF and cool.

Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in preparation will significantly reduce your risk of injury. Read and understand 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. For your safety, and to 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 preoperation inspection before each operation, and correct any problem. 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 preoperation checks, be sure the generator is on a level surface and the engine switch is in the OFF position. Check the oil level see page A low oil level will cause the Oil Alert system to shut down the engine.

Check the air filter see page A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine and generator performance. Check the fuel level see page Starting with a full tank will help to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.

Never operate the generator without the battery maintenance cover in place, as poor engine and generator performance will result. For your safety, avoid starting or operating the generator in an enclosed area such as a garage.

If the overload indicator red stays on, consult an authorized Honda generator dealer. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential for electrical shock. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly, turn it off immediately.

When two or more receptacles are used, prevent overloading by dividing the load between the two power circuits. Receptacle 3 has a 10A load connected to it. Both receptacles are powered by main power circuit I. The equation tells us that the total power draw on circuit I is 25A. When appliances are turned ON or reconnected, the engine returns to the proper speed to power the electrical load.

Page Stand By Power Check local regulations for proper registration and use procedures. System Ground Honda portable generators have a system ground that connects the generator frame components to the ground terminals in the AC output receptacles.

The system ground is not connected to the AC neutral wire. Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction. In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local utility companies.

Page Servicing Your Generator 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.

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. Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions can cause you to be Page Maintenance Schedule Service more frequently when used in dusty areas. These items should be serviced by your servicing dealer, unless you have the proper tools and are mechanically proficient. Refer to Honda shop manual for service procedures.

For commercial use, log hours of operation to determine proper maintenance intervals. Refill the fuel tank if the fuel level is low. Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.

In addition, Methanol must contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into the filler neck. Reach under the generator and remove the black rubber seal located below the oil drain plug. Loosen the cover screws and remove the air cleaner cover. Check the foam air filter to be sure it is clean and in good condition.

If you operate the generator in very dusty areas, clean the foam air filter more frequently than specified in the Maintenance Schedule. Open the left maintenance cover by turning its latch counterclockwise. Remove the O-ring. Loosen the cover screw and remove the spark plug inspection cover. Replace 0. Measure the spark plug electrode gap with a wire-type feeler gauge. If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot.

Allow the muffler to cool before servicing the spark arrester. Remove the two 5 14 mm pan head screws, and remove the spark arrester. However, if the generator is only used periodically, the battery must be charged monthly to maintain the battery service life.

The battery contains sulfuric acid electrolyte which is highly corrosive and poisonous. Wash hands after handling. Lift handle upward. Lock levers will lock and secure handle into place. Unhook the battery strap from the bottom hook of the generator. A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or seriously hurt you. Wear protective clothing and a face shield, or have a skilled mechanic do the battery maintenance. Page Fuse In the event of fuse failure, locate the cause of failure and repair before you continue operation.

If the fuse continues to fail, discontinue generator use and consult an authorized Honda generator dealer. Turn the engine switch OFF and remove the key before checking or replacing the fuse. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.

Handle fuel only outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately. Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder. Reinstall the spark plug. 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.

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.

Spark plug wet with fuel Dry and reinstall spark plug. Fuel filter restricted, Take the generator to an carburetor malfunction, authorized Honda servicing ignition malfunction, valves dealer, or refer to the shop stuck, etc. Page Engine Lacks Power p.
