Engine Oil
CAUTION:
l
Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life.
Non-detergent
l
Be sure to.check .the engine on a level surface with the engine stopped.
Use Honda 4-stroke oil or an equivalent high detergent premium quality
motor oil certified to meet or exceed U.S. auto-mobile manufacturer’s re-
quirements for Service Classification SE or SF. (Motoroils classified SE or
SF will show this designation on the container.)
SAE low-40 is recommended for general, all-temperature use. Other
viscosities shown in the chart may be used when the average temperature
in your area is within the indicated range.
1. Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean.
!Z. Insert the dipstick into.the oil filler neck but do not screw it in.
3. If the level is low, fill to the top of the oil filler neck with the recommended oil.
oiis
and vegetable oils are not recommended.
CAUTION: Running the engine with

Fuel
Use automotive gasoline with a pump octane number (9) of 86
or higher, or a research octane number of 91 or higher (unleaded is preferred to minimize combustion chamber deposits).
Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust
or water in the fuel tank.
CAUTION: Gasoline substitutes are not recommended; they may be harmful to the fuel system components.
iam
l
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.
l
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the generatior
is refueled or where gasoline is stored.
0 Do not overfill the tank and make sure the filler cap is securely closed
after refueling.
l
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may
ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the
engine.
Fuel tank capacity: 6.0 lit. (12.7 US pt. 10.6 Imp pt)
1. Check the fuel level.
2. If level is low, fill to the shoulder of the fuel filter.
3. After refueling, be sure to tighten the fuel thank cap firmly.

Gasolines Containing Alcohol
If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (“gasohol”), be sure the
octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by Honda. There are
two types of “gahohol” that containing ethanol, and that containing
methanol.
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.
NOTE:
l
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the
use of such fuels are not covered under Power Equipment Warranties.
Honda cannot endorse the use of fuels containing methanol since
evidence of their suitability is as yet incomplete.
l
Before purchasing fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to confirm
whether the fuel contains alcohol, and to what percentage. If you notice
any undesirable operating symptoms after using a gasoline that contains
alcohol, or one ttiat you think contains alcohol, switch to a ga?oline that
you know does not contain alcohol.

Make sure that the AC circuit breaker is in the OFF position.
The generator may be hard to start if a load is connected.
