Owner's Manual

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
l 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 the
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) receptacle, and all other 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.
