03/11/17 18:41:58 31Z21600_026 Auto Throttle System With the switch in the AUTO position, engine speed is automatically reduced when ALL loads are turned OFF or disconnected. When appliances are turned ON or reconnected, the engine returns to rated speed. In the OFF position, the auto throttle system does not operate. The auto throttle system will not respond to electrical loads of less than 1 ampere or intermittent loads such as a staple gun.
03/11/17 18:42:04 31Z21600_027 High Altitude Operation At high altitude, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions. High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor.
03/11/17 18:42:16 31Z21600_028 PRE-OPERATION CHECK Engine Oil Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life. Non detergent and 2-stroke engine oils will damage the engine and are not recommended. Check the oil level BEFORE EACH USE with the generator on a level surface and the engine stopped. Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service classification SJ.
03/11/17 18:42:26 31Z21600_029 Fuel Check the fuel gauge, and refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill above the shoulder of the fuel strainer. Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you can be burned or seriously injured when refueling. Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Refuel only outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately. Fuel tank capacity: 6.
03/11/17 18:42:40 31Z21600_030 Occasionally you may hear a light ‘‘spark knock’’ or ‘‘pinging’’ (metallic rapping noise) while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern. If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized Honda generator dealer. Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause engine damage.
03/11/17 18:42:57 31Z21600_031 STARTING THE ENGINE/STOPPING THE ENGINE Starting the Engine 1. Make sure that the AC circuit breaker is in the OFF position.
