3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK
CAUTION: Be sure to check the generator on a level surface with the engine
stopped.
1. Check the engine oil level.
CAUTION: Engine oil is a major,factor affecting engine performance and
service life. Non-detergent or vegetable oils are not recommended.
Use Honda 4-stroke oil, or an equivalent high detergent, premium quality
motor oil certified to meet or exceed US. automobile manufacturers’
requirements for Service Classification SE or SF. (Motor oils classified SE
or SF will show this designation on the container.)
SAE low-40 is recommended for general, all-temperature use. Other
viscosities shown in the chart may be used when the average temperature
in your area is within the indicated range.
Remove the oil filler cap, and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Check the
oil level by inserting the dipstick in the filler hole without screwing it in.
If the oil level is below the end of the dipstick, add oil to the upper level
mark on the dipstick.
NOTE: The Oil Alert System will automatically stop the engine before
the oil level falls below the safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience
of an unexpected shutdown, it is still advisable to visually inspect the oil
level regularly.

2. Check the fuel level
Check the fuel gauge (EM1800X and EM2200X only), and refill the tank
if the fuel level is low.
Use low lead or unleaded automotive gasoline with a pump octane rating of
86 or higher.
Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust
or water in the fuel tank.
Clean the fuel filler screen regularly.
CAUTION: .Gasoline substitutes are not recommended; they may be
harmful to fuel system components.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the generator
is refueled or where gasoline is stored.
Do not overfill the tank and make sure the fuel tank cap is securely
closed after refueling.
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel
