8. MAINTENANCE

The purpose of the maintenance and adjustment schedule is to keep
the generator in the best operating condition.
Inspect or service as scheduled in the table below.
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or
repairs. This will eliminate several potential hazards:
• Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust. Be sure there is
adequate ventilation whenever you operate the engine.
• Burns from hot parts. Let the engine and exhaust system cool before
touching.
• Injury from moving parts. Do not run the engine unless instructed to
do so.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a
while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler
while it is hot. Let the engine cool before maintenance.
CAUTION:
Use Honda Genuine parts or their equivalent. The use of replacement
parts which are not of equivalent quality may damage the generator.
