1. GENERATOR SAFETY l Place the generator on a firm, level surface; avoid loose sand or snow. If the generator is tilted or overturned, fuel spillage and a fire may result. l To prevent fire hazards and to provide adequate ventilation, keep the gen- erator at least 1 meter (3 feet) -away from buildings and other equipment during operation. Do not place flammable objects close to the generator. l Children and pets must be kept away from the area of operation due to a possibility of electri

3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK Perform the pre-operation check with the generator on a level surface and the i’ engine stopped. , 1. Engine Oil CAUTION: Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life. Non detergent oils, ‘castor-based oils, and 2-stroke engine dils are not recommended because they have inadequate lubrictitihg characteris!ics. Use Honda 4-stroke oil an equivalent high-detergent, premium quality motor oil certified to meet or exceed U.S. automobil man

2. Fuel Check the fuel meter and refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Your engine is designed to use any gasoline that has a pump octane number (-1 of 86 or higher, or that has a research octane number of 91 or higher. Gasoline pumps at service station normally display the pump oc- tane number. We recommend that you use unleaded fuel because it produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of exhaust system components. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or

5. GENERATOR USE m To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded. Connect a length of heavy wire between.the ground ter- minal and the ground source. 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 elec- trical codes. Improper connections can allow electrical current from the gen- erator to backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed may electrocu
