GENERATOR SAFETY
Electric Shock 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.
• For parallel operation, use only a Honda approved receptacle box
(optional equipment) when connecting the generator combinations
shown below.
* An EU22i can only be paired with EU20i models that have serial
numbers within the ranges shown below.
• Never connect an EU22i generator to a different generator model,
other than the models specified above.
Fire and Burn Hazards
• The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
– Keep the generator at least 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 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.
