4. Before Operating Ventilator
• Engine is shipped without oil. With engine in a level position, remove oil fill plug and dipstick. Fill to outer edge of the oil filler
hole with the recommended oil. See the HONDA ENGINE Owner’s Manual for oil viscosity recommendations and capacity.
• Always operate this ventilator with unleaded gasoline having a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.
• A complete inspection of the ventilator should be made prior to operation.
• Check all threaded fasteners for proper tightness.
• Inspect inlet and outlet guards for damage or missing pieces. Replace damaged or missing guards before operating ventilator.
5. Operation
Check ventilator inlet and outlet guards for obstructions. Check and remove from immediate surrounding area any objects that
could be drawn into the ventilator intake.
Check the engine oil level, running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage. See the HONDA ENGINE Owner’s
Manual. Check the engine air cleaner. A dirty filter will reduce engine performance. See the HONDA ENGINE Owner’s Manual.
Check the fuel level. Do not overfill. Starting with no more than a 3/4 full tank will help reduce operating interruptions for refueling
and avoid fuel spillage when engine is tilted. See the HONDA ENGINES Owner’s Manual.
Place ventilator in desired location before starting.
Refer to the HONDA ENGINE Owner’s Manual for additional information showing locations of engine control features and positions.
Use caution not to direct toxic fumes into confined spaces with the ventilator. Please refer to the Super Vac Training
Manual for Smoke Ventilation for comprehensive instruction on effective ventilation practices.
