SAFETY
SAFETY LABEL LOCATIONS
These labels warn you of potential hazards that can cause serious injury. Read them carefully. If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your Generator dealer for a replacement.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Our generators are designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to instructions. Reed 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
·Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of emergency.
·Understand the use of all generator controls, output receptacles, and connections.
·Be sure that anyone who operates the generator receives proper instruction. Do not let
children operate the generator without parental supervision.
Carbon Monoxide Hazards
·Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas. Breathing
exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
·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.
2
Fire and Burn Hazards
·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.
·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.
·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.
·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.

Recoil Starter
To start the engine, pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly.
NOTICE: Do not allow the starter grip to snap back
against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter.
The recoil starter is used to start the engine if the generator is not equipped with a 12 volt battery to operate the starter motor, or if the battery does not contain adequate charge to operate the starter motor.
Fuel Valve Lever
The fuel valve is located between the fuel tank and carburetor. When the fuel valve lever is in the ON position, fuel is allowed to flow from the fuel tank to the carburetor. Be sure to return the fuel lever to the OFF position after stopping the engine.

Voltage Selector Switch
The voltage selector switches the main power carrying windings of the generator to produce "120V ONLY" or "120/240V". If a 240V appliance is connected to the 4-prong receptacle, the switch must be in the "120/240V" position. If only a 120V appliance is being connected to any of the 120V 3-prong receptacles, select the "120V ONLY" position.
120/240V: The 120V and 120/240V receptacles can be used simultaneously. 120V
Receptacles only can output half of the rated power.
120V ONLY: ONLY the 120V receptacles can be used. Do not use the 120/240V receptacle
in this position. Rated power will be available at the 120V twist lock receptacle. The most power will be available at the 30A 120V locking plug receptacle.

Ground Terminal
The generator 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.
DC Terminals
The DC terminals may ONL Y be used for charging 12 volt automotive type batteries.
The terminals are colored red to identify the positive () terminal and black to identify the negative () terminal. The battery must be connected to the generator DC terminals with the proper polarity (battery positive to generator red terminal and battery negative to the generator black terminal).
DC Circuit Protector
The DC circuit protector automatically shuts off the DC battery charging circuit when the DC charging circuit is overloaded, when there is a problem with the battery, or when the connections between the battery and the generator are improper.
Oil Alert System
The Oil Alert System is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the oil alert system will automatically stop the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position). If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level before troubleshooting in other areas.

AC Circuit Breaker
The circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant overload of the generator at the receptacle. If the circuit breaker is switched OFF automatically, check that the appliance is working properly and does not exceed the rated load capacity of the circuit before switching the circuit breaker ON again.
The circuit breaker may be used to switch the generator power ON or OFF.

GENERATOR USE
Connections to a Building Electrical System
Connections for standby power to a building electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power, and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes. A transfer switch, which isolates generator power from utility power, is available through authorized Honda generator dealers.
WARNING: Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow electrical current from
the generator to backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage, and the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored. Consult the utility company or a qualified electrician.
Ground System
Generators have a system ground that connects generator frame components to the ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The system ground is not connected to the AC neutral wire. If the generator is tested by a receptacle tester, it will show the same ground circuit condition as for a home receptacle.
AC Applications
Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a
potential for electrical shock
If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stop s suddenly, turn it off
immediately . Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the appliance, or if the rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed that of the
generator. Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes
NOTICE: Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit for
maximum power operation or slightly overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker or circuit protector OFF, but will shorten the service life of the generator.
Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes. For continuous operation (longer than 30 minutes), do not exceed the rated power. The total power requirements (kW) of all appliances connected must be considered. Appliance and power tool manufacturers usually list rating information near the model number or serial number.
AC Operation
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the voltage selector switch to either position.
