Engine Maintenance

See the Honda Owner's Manual for instructions on
how to properly maintain the engine.
Contact an authorized Honda service dealer for
engine maintenance and repairs. In some locations,
authorized Honeywell service dealers are also Honda
service dealers. Contact your local dealer before
transporting your generator for service.
Gasoline and flammable solvents can cause fire or
explosion. NEVER use gasoline or flammable sol-
vent to clean air filter element.
• Use only household soap and water to clean air filter
element.
Frequent or prolonged contact with engine oil may cause
skin cancer.
• Immediately after handling engine oil, thoroughly wash
hands and any areas of skin exposed to engine oil, with
soap and water.

Battery Service

mended that the generator is started every three months.
If the unit is stored for more than a year without running, a
