SERVICING YOUR GENERATOR

FUSE

If the fuse is blown, the starter motor won’t operate.

In the event of fuse failure, locate the cause of failure and repair it 
before you continue operation. If the fuse continues to fail, 
discontinue generator use and consult an authorized Honda generator 
dealer.

1. Turn the engine switch to the OFF position and remove the key 

before checking or replacing the fuse.

2. Remove the fuse holder cover 

and pull the fuse out.

3. Replace the fuse with a fuse of 

the same type and rating.

Specified fuse:

 20 A

Never use a fuse with a 
different rating from that 
specified. Serious damage to 
the electrical system or fire 
may result.

4. Install the fuse holder cover in the reverse order of removal.
