18.Fuel Tank – Capacity is 5 gallons (19 liters). Fill with unleaded gasoline.

19.Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter cannister to gain access to filter element. NEVER run the engine without an air cleaner.

20.Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method. Pull the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and smoothly.

21.Engine Oil Filler Cap – Remove this cap/dipstick when the adding of engine oil is required. See Table 2 for recommended type engine oil.

22.Engine Oil Drain Plug – Remove this drain plug when draining of the oil from the engine crankcase is required. Fill with recommended type oil as listed in Table 4.

23.Muffler/Heat Shield – Used to reduce noise and emissions. NEVER touch this heat shield when the generator/welder is in use. Always allow time for engine to cool before servicing.

24.Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set spark plug gap to 0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.028 - 0.031 inch) Clean spark plug once a week.

25.Choke Lever – Used for starting the engine. Close the choke lever when starting a cold engine or in cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the fuel mixture. Open the choke lever if starting a warm engine or in warm weather conditions

26.Fuel Cock Lever – Turn this lever downward to start (down)the flow of fuel into the carburetor. Turn upward to stop (up) the flow of fuel.

NOTICE

This HONDA engine is equipped with a low oil shutdown capability. A built in sensor will automatically turn off the engine should the oil level fall below a safe operating condition. Make sure the generators is placed on level ground. Placing the generators on level ground will ensure that the low oil sensor will function properly.
