Invoering

This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your Honda EG4000 portable generator. Please read this manual thoroughly before operating the generator and keep it for future reference.

Belangrijke veiligheidsinformatie

Als u deze instructies niet opvolgt, kan dit ernstig letsel of de dood tot gevolg hebben.

• Koolmonoxidegevaar: Generators produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Operating a generator indoors or in partially enclosed spaces can cause carbon monoxide to build up to dangerous levels. Always operate the generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area, far from windows, doors, and vents.
• Brandgevaar: Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and cool. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks near the generator or fuel tank. Store fuel in an approved container in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources.
• Gevaar voor elektrische schokken: Never operate the generator in wet conditions. Do not touch the generator with wet hands. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and properly grounded. Do not connect the generator to a building's electrical system without an approved transfer switch installed by a qualified electrician.
• Hete oppervlakken: De motor en de uitlaatdemper van de generator worden tijdens gebruik erg heet en blijven nog enige tijd na het uitschakelen heet. Raak de hete oppervlakken niet aan om brandwonden te voorkomen.
• Waarschuwing Propositie 65: This product can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, and lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

• Deeltage-kiezer: Allows selection between 120V and 120V/240V output.
• Stopcontacten: Various 120V and 120V/240V receptacles for connecting electrical devices.
• Brandstofklep: Controls fuel flow to the engine.
• Chokehendel: Gebruikt voor het starten van een koude motor.
• Terugloopstarter: Handmatig trekstartmechanisme.
• Brandstoftankdop: Voor het bijvullen van benzine.
• Olievuldop/peilstok: Voor het controleren en bijvullen van motorolie.

Opstelling en voorbereiding

1. Uitpakken en inspectie:

   Remove the generator from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Ensure all components listed in the packing list are present.

2. Plaatsing:

   Place the generator on a firm, level surface outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Maintain at least 3 feet (1 meter) of clearance from buildings and other equipment. Ensure the exhaust is directed away from people and buildings.
3. Motorolie toevoegen:

   The generator is shipped without engine oil. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and add the recommended engine oil (refer to specifications for type and capacity) until it reaches the upper limit mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.

4. Brandstof toevoegen:

   Ensure the engine is off and cool. Open the fuel tank cap and carefully add fresh, unleaded gasoline (minimum 86 octane) to the fuel tank. Do not overfill; leave space for fuel expansion. Securely close the fuel cap.

5. Aarding:

   Properly ground the generator to prevent electrical shock. Connect a heavy-gauge wire from the generator's grounding terminal to an earth ground rod or other approved grounding source.

Gebruiksaanwijzing

De motor starten

1. Zorg ervoor dat alle elektrische apparaten van de generator zijn losgekoppeld.
2. Draai de brandstofklep naar de ON positie.
3. Zet de chokehendel naar de GESLOTEN position (for cold starts). For warm starts, the choke may not be necessary.
4. Zet de motorschakelaar op de ON positie.
5. Grasp the recoil starter handle firmly and pull it slowly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly. Repeat if necessary until the engine starts.
6. Zodra de motor start, schuif je de chokehendel geleidelijk naar de OPEN positie terwijl de motor opwarmt.

Elektrische lasten aansluiten

1. Laat de motor een paar minuten draaien om te stabiliseren.
2. Selecteer het gewenste voltage (120V or 120V/240V) using the voltage keuzeschakelaar.
3. Plug in your electrical devices. Do not exceed the generator's rated wattage (3500 running watts, 4000 peak watts).
4. Monitor the circuit breakers. If a breaker trips, reduce the load, then reset the breaker.

De motor stoppen

1. Koppel alle elektrische apparaten los van de generator.
2. Laat de motor enkele minuten onbelast draaien om af te koelen.
3. Zet de motorschakelaar op de UIT positie.
4. Draai de brandstofklep naar de UIT positie.

Onderhoud

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your generator. Always refer to the detailed maintenance schedule in the full owner's manual.

• Motorolie: Check oil level before each use. Change oil after the first 20 hours of operation, then every 100 hours or every 6 months.
• Luchtfilter: Inspect before each use. Clean or replace as needed, especially in dusty conditions.
• Bougie: Inspect and clean annually or every 100 hours. Replace if necessary.
• Brandstoffilter: Inspecteer en vervang indien nodig.
• Opslag: For long-term storage, drain the fuel tank and carburetor, or use a fuel stabilizer. Remove the spark plug and pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder, then pull the recoil starter a few times to distribute the oil.
