* Service more frequently in dusty conditions.
Engine Service
Normal servicing of the engine such as cleaning the air cleaner, sediment cup, carburetor adjustments, auto idle speed
and engine speed can be located in the Operator’s manual. In depth engine service should be performed by qualified
personnel or by the nearest Honda dealer.
Table 4-3.
WARNING
To avoid burns or fire hazards, let engine cool before
transporting generator or storing indoors.
Turn the fuel valves under the tank and on engine to
the off position and keep the engine level to prevent
fuel from spilling.
5. Remove the spark plug and pour approximately one
tablespoon (1 ounce) of clean engine oil into the
cylinder. Crank the engine a few turns to distribute the
oil to the inside of the cylinder walls.
6. Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt and
leave handle in this position. This ensures that the
intake and exhaust valves are closed.
7. Store generator in a clean, dry area.

1. Close the fuel valve and remove and empty sediment
cup under carburetor.

open end of fuel line into a suitable container and open
fuel valve to drain fuel from tank.
3. Loosen the drain screw on the carburetor and drain
any remaining fuel from carburetor.
4. Change the engine oil.
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Drain fuel tank in
a well-ventilated area.
