WARNING: PERSONAL DANGER
The 4 wire receptacle on this generator is protected
by a GFCI breaker. This means that connecting the
generator to a distribution panel that has a neutral to
ground bond it will cause the GFCI breaker to trip.
If you are going to wire this generator into a Tem
Power application the neutral to ground bond must be
removed.
1. These engine generator sets are designed for
portable heavy duty commercial use. Receptacles
are provided on the control panel to permit 10 and
40 volt portable appliances and tools to be plugged
directly into them. A 4-wire receptacle (two hot, one
ground, and one neutral) has been provided on the
control panel for use in temporary power applications
requiring 10/40 volt power. Consult a licensed
electrician for wiring the Tem Power plug and con-
necting it as temporary service.
To connect these units directly to an un-powered,
isolated construction site Tem Power panel, have
your electrician connect to the control panel using a
120/240 volt, 4-wire twist-lock plug (L14-30P).
. These generator sets are not designed to be con-
nected existing distribution system. Because existing
distribution system have a neutral to ground bond,
connecting to them through the GFCI protected
L14-30 plug will cause the circuit breaker to trip.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
When using these generators to power home
loads or construction trailer, the Conserv-r®
switch must be left in the off position. Some ap-
pliances have such a low current draw (less than
5 to 10 watts) they will not turn the conserver off,
resulting in low voltage being supplied to them.
This low voltage can do permanent damage to
these appliances.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Failure to properly limit and balance the load ap-
plied to the generator will cause the generator to
produce low voltage and may damage the engine
generator set. It may also cause severe damage to
the loads connected to the generator at that time. Im-
proper loading of the generator set constitutes abuse
and will not be covered by warranty.
ENGINE CARE
If major engine service or repair is required, contact
an authorized engine service center. The manufac-
turer of these engines has established an excellent
world-wide engine service organization. Engine ser-
vice is very likely available from a nearby authorized
dealer or distributor. Check the yellow pages of your
local telephone directory under “Engines-Gasoline”
for the closest engine repair center or ask the dealer
from whom you purchased the power plant.
1. Change the oil after the first 20 hours of opera-
tion and yearly or 100 hours thereafter under normal
operating conditions. Change engine oil every 50
hours of operation if the engine is operated under
heavy load, or in high ambient temperatures.
a. Start the engine and warm it up, stop the engine
and remove the spark plug wire to prevent it
from accidently being started.
b. Remove oil drain bolt at base of the engine
and drain the oil into an approved container.
c. Replace oil drain bolt making sure the sealing
washer is in place..
d. With the engine in a level position, fill with new
oil. Refer to the table on page 5 for the proper
grade of oil.

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
recommendations and schedules in this owner’s
manual.
To help you properly care for your engine, the following pages
include a maintenance 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 operate your engine under severe conditions, such as
sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in
unusually wet or dusty conditions, consult your servicing dealer
for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.
Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However,
we cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in
performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you
should perform a given task.
To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new genuine
Honda parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement.
Remember that an authorized Honda servicing dealer knows your
engine best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it.
To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when
working around gasoline. Use only a nonflammable solvent, not
gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks and flames
away from all fuel related parts.
Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have
the tools and skills required.
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate
the engine.
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance
or repairs. This will eliminate several potential hazards:
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions
and precautions can cause you to be seriously hurt or
killed.
Always follow the procedures and precautions in this
owner’s manual.
Internal vent carburetor with dual element type only.
Cyclone type every 6 months or 150 hours.
Replace paper element type only.
Cyclone type every 2 years or 600 hours.
These items should be serviced by your servicing dealer,
unless you have the proper tools and are mechanically
proficient. Refer to Honda shop manual for service procedures.
Service more frequently when used in dusty areas.
For commercial use, log hours of operation to determine
proper maintenance intervals.
Failure to follow this maintenance schedule could result in non-
warrantable failures.
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical and trouble-
free operation. It will also help reduce pollution.

Install the oil filler cap/dipstick and tighten securely.
Use the same oil that is recommended for the engine (see page ).
Check the reduction case oil level with the engine stopped and in a
level position.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
Insert and remove the oil filler cap/dipstick without screwing it
into the filler hole. Check the oil level shown on the oil filler cap/
dipstick.
If the oil level is low, add the recommended oil to reach the
upper limit mark on the dipstick.
Screw in the oil filler cap/dipstick and tighten securely.
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level
position.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
Insert the oil filler cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck as shown,
but do not screw it in, then remove it to check the oil level.
Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick.
If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the
dipstick, fill with the recommended oil (see page
) to the
upper limit mark (bottom edge of the oil fill hole). Do not overfill.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor’s Limited
Warranty.
The Oil Alert system (applicable types) will automatically stop
the engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit.
However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected
shutdown, fill to the upper limit, and check the oil level regularly.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage. This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor’s
Limited Warranty.
With the engine in a level position, fill with the recommended oil
(see page
) to the upper limit mark (bottom edge of the oil fill
hole) on the dipstick.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible
with the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed
container to your local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground,
or pour it down a drain.
Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the oil drain
plug and new washer, and tighten the oil drain plug securely.
Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, oil drain plug and washer.
Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
The Oil Alert system (applicable types) will automatically stop the
engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit. However, to
avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always
check the engine oil level before startup.
