GENERATOR SAFETY

Carbon Monoxide Hazards

A generator's exhaust contains toxic carbon monoxide, which you cannot see or smell. Breathing carbon monoxide can KILL YOU IN MINUTES. To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, follow these instructions when operating a generator:

• Only run a generator OUTSIDE, far away from windows, doors, and vents with engine exhaust directed away from occupied structures.

• Never operate a generator inside a house, garage, basement, crawl space, any type of vehicle, trailer, or boat, or any enclosed or partly enclosed space.

• Never operate a generator near open doors, windows, vents, or hatches.

• Get fresh air and seek medical attention immediately if you suspect you have inhaled carbon monoxide.

Early symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure include headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, and dizziness. Continued exposure to carbon monoxide can cause loss of muscular coordination, loss of consciousness, and then death.

To alert you to potentially dangerous levels of carbon monoxide coming from a generator operating outside or from other sources, install battery operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up on every level of your home, outside sleeping areas, inside any type of vehicle, trailer, or boat in accordance with the alarm’s instructions.

CO-MINDER®: This generator is equipped with a CO-MINDER® system that automatically stops the engine before the surrounding carbon monoxide concentration exceeds a certain concentration.

• Do not modify the CO-MINDER®.

• The CO-MINDER® cannot prevent all danger associated with or caused by carbon monoxide. Pay careful attention to the location of the generator (see page 22).

GENERATOR SAFETY

Electric Shock Hazards

The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or electrocution if misused.

• Do not use in wet conditions. Keep the generator dry.

– Do not use in the rain or snow. – Do not use near pool or a sprinkler system. – Do not use when your hands are wet.

• If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather, check all of the electrical components on the control panel before each use. Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical components that could result in electrocution.

• Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless an isolation switch has been installed by a qualified electrician.

• For parallel operation, use only a Honda approved parallel cable (optional equipment) when connecting one EU3200i to another EU3200i generator.

• Never connect different generator models.

GENERATOR SAFETY

Fire and Burn Hazards

• The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.

– Keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings and any

type of vehicle, trailer, boat, or other equipment during operation. – Do not enclose the generator in any structure. – Keep flammable materials away from the generator. – Do not block intake or exhaust vents, hoses, ports, or restrict air into or

away from generator. – Do not add, remove, or modify covers, panels, cowlings, or straps.

• The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the generator.

• Do not pour the water directly on the generator to put out the fire when it occurs. Use an appropriate fire extinguisher specially designed for electric fire or oil fire.

Refuel With Care

Gasoline is highly flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode.

• Do not refuel during operation.

• Allow the engine to cool if it has been in operation.

• Refuel only outdoors in a well-ventilated area and on a level surface.

• Never smoke near gasoline, and keep other flames and sparks away.

• Do not overfill the fuel tank.

• Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up and cleaned before starting the engine.

• Always store gasoline in an approved container.

GENERATOR SAFETY

Vehicles and Transportation Hazards

• Drain the fuel from the fuel tank when transporting by vehicle.

• Do not operate the generator while it is being transported or while it is mounted to any type vehicle, trailer, or boat.

• Do not operate the generator when it is in a storage, cargo, or security enclosure, including any RV generator bay.

• Always completely remove the generator from the vehicle, RV, truck, trailer, boat, other equipment or structure during operation.

BEFORE OPERATION

ARE YOU READY TO GET STARTED?

Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in preparation will significantly reduce your risk of injury.

Knowledge

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.

If the generator is being used to power appliances, be sure that they do not exceed the generator’s load rating (see pages 44 and 48).

IS YOUR GENERATOR READY TO GO?

For your safety, to ensure compliance with environmental regulations, 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.

Failure to properly maintain this generator, or failing to correct a problem before operation, could result in a significant malfunction.

Some malfunctions can cause serious injuries or death.

Always perform a pre-operation inspection before each operation and correct any problems.

BEFORE OPERATION

To prevent a possible fire, keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from building walls, vehicles, and other equipment during operation. Do not place flammable objects close to the engine or exhaust.

Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the generator is on a level and firm surface and the engine switch is in the OFF position.

Check the Engine

• Before each use, look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil or gasoline leaks.

• Check the engine oil level (see page 34). A low engine oil level will cause the Oil Alert system to shut down the engine.

• Check the air filters (see page 35). Dirty air filters will restrict air flow to the fuel system, reducing engine and generator performance.

• Check the fuel level (see page 15). Starting with a full tank will help to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.

AC Appliance and Power Cord

Before connecting an AC appliance or power cord to the generator:

• Use grounded 3-prong extension cords, tools, and appliances, or doubleinsulated tools and appliances.

• Inspect cords and plugs, and replace if damaged.

• Make sure that the appliance is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential for electric shock.

• Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed the rated power of the generator or the receptacle being used.

• Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle.

STORAGE

STORAGE PREPARATION

Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your generator trouble-free and looking good. The following steps will help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your generator’s function and appearance, and will make the engine easier to start when you use the generator again.

Cleaning

Wipe the generator with a moist cloth. After the generator has dried, touch up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil.

Fuel

Depending on the region where you operate your equipment, fuel formulations may deteriorate and oxidize rapidly. Fuel deterioration and oxidation can occur in as little as 30 days and may cause damage to the fuel system. Please check with your servicing dealer for local storage recommendations.

Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the gasoline in your generator deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the fuel system components serviced or replaced. The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank without causing functional problems will vary with such factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures, and whether the fuel tank is partly or completely filled. The air in a partly filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration problems may occur within a few months, or even less if the gasoline was not fresh when you filled the fuel tank.

The Distributor’s Limited Warranty (U.S.) / Distributor’s Warranty (C.A.) does not cover fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from neglected storage preparation. You can extend fuel storage life by adding a gasoline stabilizer that is formulated for that purpose, or you can avoid fuel deterioration problems by draining the fuel tank.

DRAINING THE FUEL TANK

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.

You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.

• Stop the engine and let it cool before handling fuel.

• Keep heat, sparks, and flame away.

• Handle fuel only outdoors.

• Keep away from your vehicle.

• Wipe up spills immediately.

Unscrew the fuel filler cap (see page 16), remove the fuel strainer, and empty the fuel tank into an approved gasoline container. We recommend using a commercially available gasoline hand pump to empty the tank. Do not use an electric pump. Siphon the gasoline by inserting the tip of the hand pump into the side of the pump guard, as shown in the figure below. Reinstall the fuel strainer and the fuel filler cap.

STORAGE

Engine Oil

Change the engine oil (see page 55).

1. Remove the spark plug (see page 57).

2. Pour a teaspoon (5 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.

3. Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder.

4. Reinstall the spark plug (see page 57).

5. Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, the piston is coming up on its compression stroke and both the intake and exhaust valves are closed. Storing the engine in this position will help to protect it from internal corrosion. Return the starter grip gently.

STORAGE

STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

If your generator will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor ignition.

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.

If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that promotes rust and corrosion.

Place the generator on a level surface. Tilting or laying it on its side can cause fuel or oil leakage.

With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the generator to keep out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt some materials.

Do not use a plastic sheet as a dust cover. A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the generator, promoting rust and corrosion.

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE

Check your generator as described in the "BEFORE OPERATION" chapter of this manual (see page 32).

If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over time, causing hard starting.

If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.

TRANSPORTING

An engine that has been running will remain very hot for a period of time.

A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you and ignite some material.

If the generator has been used, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before loading the generator on the transport vehicle.

Drain the fuel from the fuel tank when transporting by vehicle.

To prevent spillage when transporting, the generator should be secured upright in its normal operating position. To transport by hand, lift the generator using the handle grip on top of the generator and using the undergrip for support.

Do not lay the generator on its side when moving, storing, or operating it. Oil or fuel may leak and damage the engine or your property.

Do not operate the generator while it is being transported or while it is mounted to any type of vehicle, trailer, or boat.

Take care not to drop or strike the generator when transporting. Do not place heavy objects on the generator.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM INFORMATION

Source of Emissions

The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is very important because, under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic.

Honda utilizes appropriate air/fuel ratios and other emissions control systems to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons.

Additionally, Honda fuel systems utilize components and control technologies to reduce evaporative emissions.

The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts, and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC)

U.S. EPA, California and Canadian regulations require all manufacturers to furnish written instructions describing the operation and maintenance of emission control systems.

The following instructions and procedures must be followed in order to keep the emissions from your Honda engine within the emission standards.

Tampering and Altering

Tampering is a violation of federal and California law.

Tampering with or altering the emission control system may increase emissions beyond the legal limit. Among those acts that constitute tampering are:

• Removal or alteration of any part of intake, fuel, or exhaust systems.

• Alterations that would cause the engine to operate outside its design parameters.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Problems That May Affect Emissions

If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine inspected and repaired by your authorized Honda Power Equipment dealer.

• Hard starting or stalling after starting.

•Rough idle.

• Misfiring or backfiring under load.

• Afterburning (backfiring).

• Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.

Replacement Parts

The emissions control systems on your new Honda engine were designed, built, and certified to conform with EPA, California (models certified for sale in California only), and Canadian emissions regulations. We recommend the use of Honda Genuine parts whenever you have maintenance done. These original design replacement parts are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts, so you can be confident of their performance. Honda cannot deny coverage under the emission warranty solely for the use of non-Honda replacement parts or service performed at a location other than an authorized Honda dealership; you may use comparable parts certified by the EPA, CARB or ECCC, as applicable, and have service performed at non-Honda locations. However, the use of replacement parts that are not of the original design and quality may impair the effectiveness of your emissions control system. A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the responsibility that the part will not adversely affect emissions performance. The manufacturer or rebuilder of the part must certify that use of the part will not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emissions regulations.

Maintenance

As the power equipment engine owner, you are responsible for completing all required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. Honda recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your power equipment engine, but Honda cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure that all scheduled maintenance has been completed. Follow the "MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE" on page 54. Remember that this schedule is based on the assumption that your Honda engine product will be used for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in dusty conditions, will require more frequent service.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Air Index (Models certified for sale in California)

An Air Index Information label is applied to engines certified to an emission durability time period in accordance with the requirements of the California Air Resources Board.

The bar graph is intended to provide you, our customer, the ability to compare the emissions performance of available engines. The lower the Air Index, the less pollution.

The durability description is intended to provide you with information relating to the engine’s emission durability period. The descriptive term indicates the useful life period for the engine’s emission control system. See your "Emission Control System Warranty" (see page 84) for additional information.

Descriptive Term Applicable to Emission Durability Period

In the remainder of this Emission Control System Warranty, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Honda Canada Inc. will be referred to as Honda.

CALIFORNIA EXHAUST AND EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The California Air Resources Board and Honda are pleased to explain the exhaust and evaporative emissions (“emissions”) control system warranty on your 2023 and later Honda Power Equipment engine. In California, new equipment that use small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. Honda must warrant the emissions control system on your power equipment engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine or equipment leading to the failure of the emissions control system.

Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel lines (for liquid fuel and fuel vapors), fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, clamps and other associated components. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors, and other emission-related assemblies (see page 88 for additional covered parts).

Where a warrantable condition exists, Honda will repair your power equipment engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

The exhaust and evaporative emissions control system on your Honda power equipment engine is warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part on your Honda power equipment engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Honda.

CONSUMER INFORMATION

OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITY:

• As the power equipment engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. Honda recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your power equipment engine, but Honda cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

• As the power equipment engine owner, you should however be aware that Honda may deny you warranty coverage if your power equipment engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.

• You are responsible for presenting your power equipment engine to a Honda Power Equipment servicing dealer as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs shall be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact the Honda office in your region:

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

Other States, U.S. territories, and Canada:

In other areas of the United States and in Canada, your engine must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the U.S. EPA and Environment Canada emission standards for spark-ignited engines at or below 19 kilowatts.

Specific Honda products that do not meet the California emissions regulations can be identified by a “California: Not for sale or use” or “California: Only for use in Farming or Construction Equipment” decal.

All of the United States and Canada:

The exhaust and evaporative emissions control system on your Honda power equipment engine sold in the United States and Canada is warranted for two years from the date of delivery to the ultimate purchaser or the length of the Honda Distributor’s Limited Warranty, whichever is longer. This warranty is transferable to each subsequent purchaser for the duration of the warranty period.

If any emissions-related part on your Honda power equipment engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Honda. All defective parts replaced under this warranty become the property of Honda. Only Honda approved replacement parts may be used in the performance of any warranty repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner. A list of warranted parts is on the reverse side of this warranty statement. All emission related parts are under warranty for the remainder of the warranty period. Normal maintenance items, such as spark plugs and filters, that are on the warranted parts list are warranted up to their required replacement interval only.

Honda will also replace other engine components damaged by a failure of any warranted part during the warranty period. Honda cannot deny coverage under the emission warranty solely for use of non-Honda replacement parts or service performed at a location other than an authorized Honda dealership; however, use of a part that is not functionally identical to the original equipment part in any respect that may in any way affect emissions (including durability) could result in denial of coverage. If such a non-Honda replacement part is used in the repair or maintenance of your engine, and an authorized Honda dealer determines it is defective or causes a failure of a warranted part, your claim for repair of your engine may be denied. If the part in question is not related to the reason your engine requires repair, your claim will not be denied.

CONSUMER INFORMATION

TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:

You must, at your own expense, take your Honda Power Equipment engine or the product on which it is installed, along with your sales registration card or other proof of original purchase date, to any Honda Power Equipment dealer who is authorized by Honda to sell and service that Honda product during their normal business hours. Claims for repair or adjustment found to be caused solely by defects in material or workmanship will not be denied because the engine was not properly maintained and used. If you are unable to obtain emission warranty service or are dissatisfied with the warranty service you received, contact the owner of the dealership involved. Normally this should resolve your problem. However, if you require further assistance, contact the Honda office in your region:
