Gasolines containing alcohol
If you notice any undersirable operating symptoms while using agasoline that contains alcohol, or one that you think containsalcohol, switch to a gasoline that you know does not contain alcohol.
Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to find out if thefuel contains alcohol, if it does, confirm the type and percentage ofalcohol used.
Honda cannot endorse the use of fuels containing methanol sinceevidence of their suitability is as yet incomplete.
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resultingfrom the use of fuels that contain alcohol is not covered under thewarranty.
Do not use gasohol that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not usegasoline containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does notalso contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Neveruse gasoline containing more than 5% methanol, even if it hascosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure it’soctane rating is at least as high as that recommended by Honda. Thereare two types of ‘‘gasohol’’: one containing ethanol, and the othercontaining methanol.
Gasoline spoils very quicklr depending on factors such as lightexposure, temperature and time.In worst cases, gasoline can be contaminated within 1 month.Using contaminated gasoline can seriously damage the engine(caburetor clogged, valve stuck).Such damage due to spoiled fuel is disallowed from coverage by thewarrantry.To avoid this please strictly follow these recommendations:
Only use specified gasoline.To slow deterioration, keep gasoline in a certified fuel container.If long storage (more than 1 month) is foreseen, drain fuel tank andcarburetor (page ).43

When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation,the air-fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. Operation ataltitudes below 1,500 meters (5,000 feet) with a modified carburetormay cause the engine to overheat and result in serious enginedamage. For use at low altitudes, have your servicing dealer returnthe carburetor to original factory specifications.
Carburetor Modification for High Altitude Operation
High altitude performance can be improved by specific modificationsto the carburetor. If you always operate your generator at altitudesabove 1,500 meters (5,000 feet), have your authorized Honda servicingdealer perform this carburetor modification. This engine, whenoperated at high altitude with the carburetor modifications for highaltitude use, will meet each emission standard throughout its usefullife.
Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decreaseabout 3.5% for each 300-meter (1,000-foot) increase in altitude. The ef-fect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetormodification is made.
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be toorich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. Avery rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine wascertified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.

GENERATOR USE6.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle.Do not connect the generator to a household circuit. This couldcause the damage to the generator or to electrical appliances in thehouse.Do not modify or use the generator for other purposes than it isintended for. Also observe the following when using the generator.
In either case, the total wattage of all appliances connected must beconsidered.
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power (see page).
Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system mustbe made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicablelaws and electrical codes. Improper connections can allow electricalcurrent from the generator to backfeed into the utility lines. Suchbackfeed may electrocute utility company workers or others whocontact the lines during a power outage, and when utility power isrestored, the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires in thebuilding’s electrical system.
Do not connect an extension to the exhaust pipe.When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a tough rubbersheathed flexible cable (IEC 245 or equivalent).Limit length of extension cables; 60 m for cables of 1.5 mm and 100m for cables of 2.5 mm . Long extension cables will lower usablepower due to resistance in the extension cable.Keep the generator away from other electric cables or wires such ascommercial power supply lines.

TRANSPORTING/STORAGE9.
Do not drive on a rough road for an extended period with thegenerator on board. If you must transport the generator on a roughroad, drain the fuel from the generator beforehand.
Avoid a place exposed to direct sunlight when putting thegenerator on a vehicle. If the generator is left in an enclosed vehiclefor many hours, high temperature inside the vehicle could causefuel to vaporize resulting in a possible explosion.
Do not operate the generator while it is on a vehicle. Take thegenerator off the vehicle and use it in a well ventilated place.
Do not overfill the tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck).When transporting the generator:
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certainconditions. Perform this task in a well ventilated area with the enginestopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area duringthis procedure.
To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during temporarystorage, the generator should be secured upright in its normaloperating position, with the engine switch OFF.The fuel cap vent lever is turned fully counterclockwise to the ‘‘OFF’’position.
Drain the fuel.Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
Before storing the unit for an extended period:
Drain all gasoline from the fuel tank into an approved gasolinecontainer.

STARTER GRIP
SCREW DRIVER
Turn the engine switch ON, and loosen the carburetor drain screwand drain the gasoline from the carburetor into a suitable container.With the drain screw loosened remove the spark plug cap, and pullthe starter grip 3 to 4 times to drain the gasoline from the fuel pump.Turn the engine switch to the OFF position, and tighten the drainscrew securely.Reinstall the spark plug cap on the spark plug securely.
Change the engine oil.Remove the spark plug and pour about a tablespoon of clean engineoil into the cylinder. Crank the engine several revolutions todistribute the oil, then reinstall the spark plug.Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, thepiston is coming up on its compression stroke and both the intakeand exhaust valves are closed. Storing the engine in this positionwill help to protect it from internal corrosion.
