  • Page 12: Pre-Operation Check

    4. PRE-OPERATION CHECK CAUTION: Be sure to check the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped. 1.Check the engine oil level before each use. CAUTION: Using non detergent oil or 2-stroke engine oil could shorten the engine’s service life. Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service category SE or later (or equivalent).
  • Page 13 2.Check the fuel level. Check the fuel gauge. If the fuel level is low, refuel the fuel tank until the level as specified. After refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely. Use automotive unleaded gasoline with a Research Octane Number of 93 or higher.
  • Page 14 Gasolines Containing Alcohol If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure its octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by Honda. There are two types of ‘‘gasohol’’: one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol.
  • Page 15 3.Check the air filter. Check the air filter element to be sure it is clean and in good condition. Unsnap the two air cleaner cover clips, remove the air cleaner cover, and remove the air cleaner element. Clean or replace the element if necessary (see page 23). CAUTION: Never run the engine without the air filter element.

  • Page 16: Starting The Engine

    5. STARTING THE ENGINE CAUTION: When starting the generator after adding fuel for the first time, after long-term storage, or after running out of fuel, turn the fuel valve lever to the ON position, then wait for 10 to 20 seconds before starting the engine.
  • Page 17 High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate the generator at altitudes higher than 1,500 meters (5,000 feet) above sea level, have your authorized Honda dealer perform these carburetor modifications. Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 foot) increase in altitude.

  • Page 18: Generator Use

    6. GENERATOR USE The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or electrocution if misused. Be sure to ground the generator when the connected appliance is grounded. To ground the terminal of the generator, use a copper wire with same or larger diameter than the cord of the connected appliance.
  • Page 19 Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for startup. Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Maximum power is: EM2300: 2.3kVA • For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
  • Page 20 AC Appliances Plug in AC appliances using below sequence: 1. Start the engine (see page 15) 2. Confirm the appliance to be used is switched off 3. Plug in the appliance and switch the AC circuit breaker “ON” (1) 4. Turn on the appliance CAUTION: •...

  • Page 21: Stopping The Engine

    7. STOPPING THE ENGINE CAUTION: Before stopping the engine, make sure all electric devices plugged into the generator are turned OFF. Stop the engine using below sequence: 1. Turn the circuit breaker to “OFF“ 2. Turn the engine switch to “STOP“ 3.

  • Page 22: Maintenance

    (1) For commercial use, log hours of operation to determine proper maintenance intervals. (2) Service more frequently when used in dusty areas. (3) 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.
  • Page 23 1. CHANGING OIL 1. Place the machine on a flat surface and run the engine several minutes to heat up the oil. This will assure rapid and complete draining of the oil. Then stop the engine. 2. Clean the peripheral region of oil filler plug and dipstick. Then disassemble the oil filler plug, dipstick and drain plug.
  • Page 24 2. AIR CLEANER SERVICE A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when operating the generator in extremely dusty areas. Do not use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning. They are flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
  • Page 25 3. FUEL SEDIMENT CUP SERVICE Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area. The sediment cup prevents dirt or water that may be in the fuel tank from entering the carburetor. If the engine has not been run for a long time, the sediment cup should be cleaned.
  • Page 26 4. SPARK PLUG SERVICE Recommended spark plugs: BPR6ES (NGK) W20EPR-U (DENSO) To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits. CAUTION: If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Be careful not to touch the muffler.
