Electric Shock Hazards

Fire and Burn Hazards

The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious
shock or electrocution if misused.

Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as
rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands
are wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry.

If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather,
check all of the electrical components on the control panel before
each use. Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in
electrical components that could result in electrocution.

Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless an isolation
switch has been installed by a qualified electrician.

Use only a Honda approved parallel operation kit (optional
equipment) when connecting two EU3000is generators for parallel
operation.

Never connect different generator models and types.

Fuel vapors are extremely flammable and may ignite after the
engine has started. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped
up before starting the generator.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain
conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the
generator is refueled or where gasoline is stored. Refuel in a well-
ventilated area with the engine stopped.

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 storing the generator
indoors.

Keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings
and other equipment during operation.
Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
Keep flammable materials away from the generator.

The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
