GENERATOR FEATURES
Reference 1 - Air Cleaner. Refer to your Honda
engine manual for air cleaner care.
Reference 2 - Starting/Stopping Instructions.
Reference 3 - Oil Drain Plug. Refer to your Honda
engine manual for oil change recommendations.
Reference 4 - Control Panel. See Fig. 3 for details.
Reference 5 - Gas Cap with Gauge. The gas cap is
extra large, creating a large hole for refilling and a
comfortable grip. You can always monitor the fuel level
without removing the cap by using the fuel level indicator
built into the gas cap.
Reference 6 - 6.5 Gallon Gas Tank. Large tank
allows for extended run capabilities. ALWAYS all ow room
for gasoline expansion by not filling the gas tank
completely full.
Reference 7 - Super Silent Muffler. 8 dB less than
Honda’s standard muffler. NEVER operate generator
without the exhaust deflector attached in the upright
position.
Reference 8 - Gas Drain Valve. The generator is
equipped with a unique feature. A gas drain valve is
installed to drain gasoline from the tank without
disconnecting the gas line feeding the engine. This valve
is intended to be used to drain gas prior to extended
periods of non use. It is recommended that if the period of
non use is longer than 30 days, the gas should be drained,
and the engine ran until all the gas is evacuated from the
carburetor. ALWAYS make sure this valve is closed prior
to filling the gas tank.
Reference 9 - Gas Line Valve. The generator tank
has an ON-OFF valve mounted underneath the tank.
ALWAYS keep this valve closed when the generator is not
in use or being transported.
Reference 10 - Generator Head. The electricity
producing part of the generator.
Reference 11 - Battery and Box. The power source
for electric starter.
Reference 12 - Vibration Isolation Mounts. The
engine and generator head are mounted on rubber
cylinders that absorb most of the engine vibration. This
feature eliminates the tendency of the machine to “walk”
which is common in engine powered equipment.
Reference 13 - Recoil. Grasp firmly when starting
engine.
Reference 14 - Fuel Valve Lever. Additional valve for
fuel shut off.
Reference 15 - Choke Lever. Used during cold
starts. Refer to the starting/stopping instructions and the
Honda engine manual for usage.
Reference 16 - Electric Start/Stop Switch. The
engine key is located on the engine. Always locate this
switch and be familiar with its location before operating the
generator.

Reference 17 - Voltmeter. Voltmeter needle should
be in green area during all generator load conditions.
Reference 18 - Full Power Switch. The switch
reconnects the two generator windings from parallel (120V
only) to series (120/240V).
• 120V Only: Allows all 4500 watts (37.5A) to be used
in any combination of 120 volt receptacles. The
120/240V receptacle is disabled.
• 120/240V : Allows all 4500 watts to be used for 240V.
However, only half the power or 2250 watts (18.8A),
can be used at any one 120V receptacle. 120V output
can total 4500 watts.
Reference 19 - Idle Control - On/Off Switch. This
feature senses the load on the generator. With no load on
the generator the engine speed drops to idle. This saves
fuel and lengthens engine life. When a load is applied, the
engine speed returns to 3600 RPM nominal. Turning the
switch off disables the sensing device and the generator
will run at 3600-3780 RPM whether or not a load is
applied.
Reference 20 - Adjustable Idle Delay. Adj usts th e
amount of time from when the generator senses there is no
load to when the generator actually idles down. The
minimum delay is 5 seconds. The maximum is
approximately 1 minute.
