Never use water to clean the generator
WATTAGE INFORMATION
Some appliances need a “
surge
” of power at starting. This means that the amount of
electrical power needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount needed to
maintain its use. Refer to the appliance for its maximum starting power.
Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycles/HZ,
amperage and electrical power needed to run the appliance or tool. If the appliance
does not have this information in watts - but does have it in voltage & amperage - simply
multiply them together to get the power in watts.
(Power in watts = voltage x amperage)
TROUBLESHOOTING
The majority of troubles with generator units are with the engine. Please refer to the
Honda Engine manual if engine troubles arise. If problem persists please contact your
