SAFETY INFORMATION
Honda generators are designed to give safe and dependable service if
operated according to instructions. Read and understand this owner’s manual
before operating your generator. You can help prevent accidents by being
familiar with your generator’s controls, and by observing safe operating
procedures
Operator Responsibility
0 Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of emergency.
l Understand the use of all generator controls, output receptacles, and
connections.
l Be sure that anyone who operates the generator receives proper
instruction. Do not let children operate the generator without parental
supervision.
Carbon Monoxide Hazards
l Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless
gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of,consciousness and may lead to
death.
l If you run the generator in an area that is confined, or even partially
enclosed, the air you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of
exhaust gas. To keep exhaust gas from building up, provide adequate
ventilation.
Electric Shock Hazards
The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock
or electrocution if misused.
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as rain or
snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could
result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry.
If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather, check
all electrical components on the control panel, before each use. Moisture
or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical components
which could result in electrocution.
Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless an isolation switch
has been installed by a qualified electrician.
Fire and Burn Hazards
l The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
-
Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings and
other equipment during operation.
- Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
- Keep flammable materials away from the generator.
l 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 indoors.
l Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain
conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the generator
is refueled or where gasoline is stored. Refuel in a well-ventilated area
with the engine stopped.
l Fuel vapors are extremely flammable and may ignite after the engine has
started. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting
the generator.
