1. GENERATOR SAFETY To ensure safe operation - l Place the generator at least 1 m (3 ft) away from buildings or other equipment when operating the generator. l Operate the generator on a level surface. If the generator is tilted, fuel spillage may result. l Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Never run the generator in an enclosed area. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation. l Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of all the controls. Never permi

3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK CAUTION: Be sure to check the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped. 1. Check the engine oil level, CAUTION: Engine oil is major factor affecting engine performance and service life. Non-detergent or vegetable oils are not recommended. Use Honda 4-stroke oil, or an equivalent high detergent, premium quality motor oil certified to meet or exceed U.S. automobile manufacturer’s requirements for Service Classification SE or SF. (Motor oils classified SE

NOTE: When the oil runs lower than the specified level during operation, the engine switch automatically turns off through an oil alert system to pro- tect the engine from overheating. If this occurs, add oil to the top of the filler hole neck, then turn the switch on and restart the engine according to the instructions. ENGINE SWITCH Cont’d 5

2. Check the fuel level. Use automotive gasoline with a research octane of 91 or higher or a pump octane of 86 or higher. 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. Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or

5. GENERATOR USE m To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded. Connect a length of heavy wire between the ground terminal and the ground source. CAUTION: l Limit operation requiring maximum power (EB3000 : 3.0 kVA, EB4000 : 4.0 kVA) to 30 minutes. For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power of 2.8 kVA (EB3000) and 3.8 kVA (EB4000). In either case, the total wattage of all appliances connected must be considered. l Do not exceed the

AC applications 1. Turn the voltage selector switch to either position as required. When the switch is turned to “12OV ONLY” position, you can use only 12OV AC. At “12OV/24OV” position, you can use both 12OV and 240V sources. 2. Switch on the AC Circuit Breakers. 3. Plug in the appliance. NOTE: This generator is equipped with an AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) for stable voltage supply. CAUTION: Be sure that appliances do not exceed the rated load for more than 30 minutes, and never e
