firm. Check the yellow pages of your tele-
phone directory under the listing:
Engines Gasoline, Honda
or visit:
www.honda-engines.com
or call Honda direct:
1-800-426-7701
IMPORTANT:
Keep generator level while
in storage. Never store generator upside
down or standing on end.
Note:
We supply the engine owner’s manual
with generator. Refer to that manual for
questions concerning engine storage.
WARNING: The muffler be-
comes very hot during operation.
The muffler remains hot for a
while after shutdown. Let engine
cool before storing.
WARNING: Remove all fuel
from fuel tank before storing gen-
erator. Store fuel in approved con-
tainer. Store fuel in a well-vented
area free of open flames or sparks.
Use a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL
®
or an
equivalent, when storing generator with fuel
in fuel tank. This will minimize fuel gum
deposits from forming in engine.
Cover and store generator in a clean, dry
place. Do not expose generator to extreme
high or low temperatures during storage.
