SERVICING YOUR GENERATOR
THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTENANCE
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble free
operation. It
will also help reduce air pollution.
To help you properly care for your generator, the following pages
include a mai
ntenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and
simple maintenance procedures using basic hand tools. Other service
tasks that are more difficult or require special tools are best handled by
professionals and are normally performed by a Honda technician or
other qualified mechanic.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If
you op
erate your generator under unusual conditions, such as
sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use it in dusty
conditions, consult your servicing dealer for recommendations
applicable to your individual needs and use.
Remember that an authorized Honda servicing dealer knows your
generator best and is fully equ
ipped to maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, Honda Genuine
parts or their equivalents for repair and re
placement.
Mai
ntenance, replacement, or repair of the emission
control devices
and
systems may be performed by any engine repair establishment or
individual, using parts that are ‘‘certified’’ to EPA standards.
Improper maintenance, or failure to
correct a problem before operation,
can cause a malfunction in which
you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the inspection and
maintenance
