Generator Feature

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 refueling. You can 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 allow room for gasoline expansion by not filling the gas tank completely full.

Reference 7 - Super Silent Muffler. 4 dB less than Honda’s standard muffler.

Reference 8 - Generator Head. The electricity producing part of the generator.

Reference 9 - Battery Box. Warning: Always wear safety glasses when working on or near the battery. The battery box provides protection for the battery and will

accept a standard lawn tractor size battery (Group U1-7). The engine requires a 12-volts battery, with a minimum rating of 18Ah (Amp-Hour). When installing the battery, always connect the red colored (“positive” or “+”) cable first. When disconnecting the battery, always remove the black colored (“negative” or “-”) cable first.

WARNING Sulfuric acid is a corrosive poison. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Always wear safety glasses.

Reference 10 - Vibration Isolation Mounts. The engine and generator 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 11 - Recoil. Grasp firmly when starting engine.

Reference 12 - Gas Line Valve. The engine is

equipped with an ON-OFF valve located on the left side of the recoil. ALWAYS keep this valve closed when the generator is not in use.

Reference 13 - Choke Lever. Used during cold

starts. Refer to the starting/stopping instructions and the Honda engine manual for usage.

Reference 17 - Full Power Switch. The switch

reconnects the two generator windings from parallel (120V only) to series (120/240V).

•120V Only: Allows all 6600 watts (55A) to be used in any combination of 120 volt receptacles. The 120/240V 30A twist-lock receptacle is 120V only at this time.

•120/240V : Allows all 6600 watts to be used for 240V. However, only half the power or 3300 watts (27.5A), can be used at any one 120V receptacle. 120V output

can total 6600 watts.

Reference 18 - Voltmeter. Voltmeter needle should be in green area during all generator load conditions.

Reference 19 - Hour Meter. Allows for better maintenance scheduling of generator.

Reference 20 - 120/240V 30A Receptacle. This

receptacle is a NEMA L14-30P twist-lock device, and is capable of drawing 30 amps. This receptacle accepts only NEMA L14-30P plugs. Use this receptacle if installing a transfer switch.

Reference 21 - Grounding Post. Ground the generator via the grounding post, to a copper pipe or rod that is driven down until it reaching moist soil.

References 22-25 - 120V Receptacles. The

generator has a control panel with:

•Reference 22 - One NEMA L5-30R twist-lock receptacle, capable of drawing 30 amps. This receptacle accepts a NEMA L5-30P plug.
