Safety Precautions

. Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or

repairs. This will eliminate several potential hazards:

-Carbon monoxide poisoning from englne exhaust.

Be sure there is sdequate ventilation whenever you operate the

engine.

-Bums from hot parts.

Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.

-Injury from moving parts.

Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.

Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the

tools and skills required.

To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when

working around gasoline. Use only a nonflammable solvent, not

gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away

from all fuel-related parts.

Remember that your servicing dealer knows your generator best and

is fully equipped to maintain and repair it.

To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, genuine

Honda parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement.
