GDP-5H — CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

Figure 4E. Generator Components

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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 the generator to cool down before performing maintenance.

16. 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.

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

18.Engine Oil Filler Cap – Remove this cap/dipstick when the adding of engine oil is required. See Table 6 for recommended type engine oil.

19.Engine Oil Drain Plug – Remove this drain plug when draining of the oil from the engine crankcase is required. Fill with recommeded type oil as listed in Table 6.

20. 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.

21. Fuel Tank Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Replenish with clean unleaded gasoline. Make sure cap is tightened securely. DO NOT over fill.

22. Fuel Gauge – This gauge is located on top of the fuel tank. Read this gauge to determine when fuel is low.

23. FuelTank – Fuel tank capacity is 5 gallons (19 liters).

This HONDA engine is equipped with a low oil shutdown capability. A

NOTE built in sensor will automatically turn off the engine should the oil level fall below a safe operating condition. Make sure the generator is placed

on level ground. Placing the generator on level ground will ensure that the low oil sensor will function properly.
