MAINTENANCE
To ensure that the generating set performs correctly and has a long working life, it is essential
that the maintenance schedule be observed.
CAUTION:
•
The engine and the muffler reach temperatures sufficient to cause burns if touched and to start
a fire if adjacent to inflammable material. Allow the engine to cool for 15 minutes before
carrying out any maintenance.
•
Only use original Honda parts or their equivalent. Parts that do not meet the Honda design
specifications can cause damage to the generating set.
