This kit must be assembled according to the numerical order of the parts listed above.
ANGLAIS.book Page 10 Lundi, 18. février 2008 11:11 11 PRE-OPERATION CHECK To carry out this series of checks, place the generating set on stable and horizontal ground, with the engine off and the spark plug cap removed. Be careful not to touch the hot metallic parts of the engine when checking the oil level. CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL CAUTION : • The engine oil is an important factor which affects the engine’s performance and its operational life.
ANGLAIS.book Page 11 Lundi, 18. février 2008 11:11 11 PRE-OPERATION CHECK CHECKING THE PETROL LEVEL SAFETY 7 1. Check the petrol level on the level indicator: full [1], empty [2]. 2. Fill up if the level is low. [2] [1] Do not fill the tank above the red mark [3] located in the filling port. After having filled the tank, check that the fuel filler cap is tightened as far as it will go. DO NOT LEAVE FUEL WITHIN REACH OF CHILDREN. CAUTION : • Never use a gas-oil mixture.
ANGLAIS.book Page 12 Lundi, 18. février 2008 11:11 11 GENERATING SET USE STARTING THE ENGINE SAFETY SAFETY 2 4 5 [1] ON 6 OFF CAUTION : • Never start-up the generating set with devices connected to the receptacles, this could cause their deterioration. ON ECM2800 1. Open the fuel shut-off valve [1] (in the direction of the “ON” arrow), close the choke by pulling the lever [2] as shown. [2] NOTE: do not use the choke when the engine is warm or the ambient temperature is high. 2.
ANGLAIS.book Page 13 Lundi, 18. février 2008 11:11 11 GENERATING SET USE OIL ALERT SYSTEM The oil alert system is designed to prevent any risk of damage to the engine caused by insufficient oil in the oil pan. As soon as the oil level drops below the safe limit, the oil alert system automatically shuts down the engine (the engine switch remains in the “ON” position). Use of the starter will not restart the engine until the oil level has been topped up. STOPPING THE ENGINE SAFETY 1 1.
ANGLAIS.book Page 14 Lundi, 18. février 2008 11:11 11 GENERATING SET USE OPERATION OF THE GENERATING SET Your Honda generating set is a reliable piece of equipment, developed to ensure your safety. It can help you carry out work more easily and bring improvements to your leisure time, but there is also a risk of electrocution if you do not follow strictly the instructions for use given in this chapter. • • • • • • • • • SAFETY 8 9 10 Never connect the generating set to a main socket.
ANGLAIS.book Page 15 Lundi, 18. février 2008 11:11 11 GENERATING SET USE • Electric extension cables must be carefully selected, fitted and maintained. Good condition insulators will ensure the safety of the user. Cables must be inspected regularly; they should be replaced, and not repaired, in the event of a defect. Choose the length and cross-section of the extension cables according to the work to be done (see table below for indications). Cable (mm2) Max.
ANGLAIS.book Page 16 Lundi, 18. février 2008 11:11 11 GENERATING SET USE INFORMATION ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE GENERATOR The generator windings are not connected to the earth; the system is thus safe by construction and limits the risks of electrocution. It is strictly forbidden to connect the coils to the generator earth, except when using a 30 mA differential circuit breaker for the protection of persons.
ANGLAIS.book Page 17 Lundi, 18. février 2008 11:11 11 MAINTENANCE To ensure that the generating set performs correctly and has a long working life, it is essential that the maintenance schedule be observed. SAFETY SAFETY 5 7 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.
ANGLAIS.book Page 18 Lundi, 18. février 2008 11:11 11 MAINTENANCE CHANGING THE OIL CAUTION : • Prolonged and frequent contact with used engine oil can cause skin cancer. Although this is unlikely, it is sensible to wash your hands thoroughly after handling used engine oil. Drain the oil while the engine is still warm so that the oil flows out quickly and completely. 1. For ECMT7000 only: undo the 6 screws maintaining the left side plate and remove the plate. 2.
ANGLAIS.book Page 19 Lundi, 18. février 2008 11:11 11 MAINTENANCE AIR CLEANER The engine will not run properly if the air cleaner is dirty: it is very important that the air cleaner is serviced regularly.
