3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK CAUTION: Be sure to check the generatot- on a level surface with the engine stopped. 1. Check the engine oil level. CAUTION: Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life, Non-detergent and S-stroke engine 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 clas

NOTE: The Oil Alert System will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit. However, to avoid the inconv.enience of an unexpected shutdown, it is still advisable to visually Inspect the oil level regularly. If the Oil Alert Switch is tripped, add oil to the top of the oil filler neck, re- set the Oil Alert Switch, and restart the engine according to instructions (P.9). OIL ALERT SWITCH 7

2. Check the fuel level. Use any brand of regular grade automotive gasoline (unleaded gasoline is preferred) with an antiknock index of 86 or higher as calculated using the Cost of Living Council formula (equal to 91 Research Octane Number 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 fuel system components. l Gasoline is extremely flammable an

5. GENERATOR USE N 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 (EMS4000 : 4.0 kW, EMS4500 : 4.5 kW) to 30 minutes. For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power (EMS4000 : 3.8 kW, EMS4500 : 4.0 kW). In either case, the total wattage of all appliances connected must be considered. l Do not exceed the cur

DC application The DC terminals may be used for charging 12 volt automotive-type batteries only. m Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames, and cigarettes away. To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the battery, connect charging cables first to the battery, then to the generator, and disconnect cables first at the generator. CAUTION: l Do not attempt to start an automobile engine while the generator is still con- nected to the battery. The generator may be d
