5.When engine starts, move choke lever to RUN position.

6.Loads may now be connected to generator.

STOPPING

1.Disconnect all loads to generator.

2.Place key to the OFF position.

3.Turn gas line valve to OFF position.

ENGINE CARE

Refer to your Honda Owner’s Manual for proper care and maintenance.

NOTE: When changing the oil on a hot engine, the oil might overshoot the oil drain hole on the generator base.

GENERATOR CARE

The generator head is a 2-pole, 3600-RPM, 60-Hz, brushless, revolving field and synchronous type with one sealed ball bearing. The rotor of the generator head is directly connected to the engine crankshaft and the stator is rigidly coupled to the engine casting via the generator head casting.

Exercising the Generator - The generator should be operated every four weeks. This is accomplished by

starting the engine and applying a load for 10 to 15 minutes. This will dry out any moisture that has accumulated in the windings. If left, this moisture can cause corrosion in the winding. Frequent operation of the engine generator will also ensure that the set is operating properly should it be needed in an emergency.

Generator Maintenance - The generator head is brushless and maintenance free. Major generator service, including installation or replacement of parts should be performed only by a qualified electrical service technician.

USE ONLY NORTHSTAR APPROVED REPAIR PARTS AVAILABLE AT 1-800-270-0810.

A. Bearing - The bearing used in these generators is a heavy duty sealed ball bearing. They require no maintenance or lubrication.

B. Receptacles - Quality receptacles have been utilized. If a receptacle should become cracked or otherwise damaged, replace it. Using cracked or damaged receptacles can be both dangerous to the operator and destructive to the equipment.

WARNING, Stand-by Operation

If your generator is to be used as a standby electric power source in case of utility failure, it must be installed by a registered and licensed electrician and in compliance with all applicable state and local electrical codes. Also, local Fire Departments must be consulted concerning proper and safe handling procedures for gasoline. NEVER connect any generator to any existing electrical system

without an isolating, UL approved transfer switch, installed by a licensed electrician.
