3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Operator Responsibility Honda generators are designed for use with electrical equipment that has suitable power requirements. Other uses can result in injury to the operator or damage to the generator and other property. Most injuries or property damage can be prevented if you follow all instructions in this manual and on the generator. The most common hazards are discussed below, along with the best way to protect yourself and others. Never attempt to modify the generator. It can cause an accident as well as damage to the generator and appliances. Do not connect an extension to the muffler. Do not modify the intake system. Do not adjust the governor. Do not remove the control panel or do not change the wiring of the control panel. Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of emergency. Understand the use of all generator controls, output receptacles, and connections. Be sure that anyone who operates the generator receives proper instruction. Do not let children operate the generator without parental supervision. Do not operate the generator with any cover removed. You may get your hand or foot caught in the generator and it may cause accident. Place the generator on a firm level place before operation. Consult your authorized Honda dealer for disassembly and service of the generator that are not covered in this manual. Be sure to observe the instructions in this manual for how to use the generator and maintenance information. Ignoring or improperly following the instructions can cause an accident such as an electric shock, and the condition of the exhaust gas may deteriorate.

4 Carbon Monoxide Hazards Electric Shock Hazards Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death. If you run the generator in an area that is confined, or even partially enclosed area, the air you breathe could contain dangerous amount of exhaust gas. The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or electrocution if misused. Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry. If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather, check all of the electrical components on the control panel before each use. Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical components that could result in electrocution. If you get an electric shock, consult a doctor and have medical treatment immediately. Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless an isolation switch has been installed by a qualified electrician. Never run your generator inside a garage, house, or near open windows or doors.

－－－ 5 Fire and Burn Hazards Refuel With Care Do not use the generator in areas with a high risk of fire. When installed in ventilated rooms, additional requirements for fire and explosion protection shall be observed. The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials. Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings and other equipment during operation. Do not enclose the generator in any structure. Keep flammable materials away from the generator. Some parts of the internal combustion engine are hot and may cause burns. Pay attention to the warnings on the generator. The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the generator indoors. Do not pour the water directly on the generator to put out the fire when it occurs. Use an appropriate fire extinguisher specially designed for electric fire or oil fire. If you inhale fumes produced by an accidental fire with the generator, consult a doctor and have medical treatment immediately. Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode. Allow the engine to cool if the generator has been in operation. Refuel only outdoors in a well ventilated area with the engine OFF. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Never smoke near gasoline, and keep other flames and sparks away. Always store gasoline in an approved container. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting the engine.

6 Disposal To protect the environment, do not dispose of the used generator, battery, engine oil, etc. carelessly by leaving them in the waste. Observe the local laws or regulations or consult your authorized Honda generator dealer to dispose of these parts. Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground. An improperly disposed battery can hurt the environment. Always confirm local regulations for battery disposal. Contact your Honda servicing dealer for a replacement.

7 SAFETY LABEL LOCATIONS 2.

8 Honda generator is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to instructions. Read and understand the Owner’s Manual before operating the generator. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death. If you run the generator in an area that is confined, or even partially enclosed area, the air you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. Never run your generator inside a garage, house or near open windows or doors. Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes. Improper connections can allow electrical current from the generator to backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage, and when utility power is restored, the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires in the building’s electrical system. Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless an isolation switch has been installed by a qualified electrician.
