Operation
Starting the engine:
1. Read Honda Engine Owner’s Manual.
2. Open fuel cock.
3. Set choke lever towards the “close” position when engine is cold.

speed, useable AC power is available.
Diagram 2: Starting the engine.
Applying AC load (single voltage type) (Refer to Diagrams 3, 4, 5.):
1. Place generator’s “no fuse breaker” switch in the “0" position.
2. Start engine (Please refer to the Honda Engine Owner’s Manual.)
3. Allow the engine to warm up for 2 - 3 minutes before connecting tools
or appliances.
4. Insert the plug of the electrical appliance into the “AC receptacle”.
5. Place generator’s “no fuse breaker switch” in the “1” position.
6. Reset the GFCI receptacle.

Operation
Applying AC load (single voltage type) coninued:
Diagram 5: SXB2800HX AC Panel
Be sure to ground the generator if the connected electrical equipment
is grounded.
CAUTION: When the generator is overloaded or a short circuit is made, the
‘no-fuse breaker” switch will stop the engine to protect the circuit
automatically. If the “no-fuse breaker” switch trips during operation,
the generator is either over loaded or the appliance is defective.
Check the appliance and/or generator for overloading or defect, make
necessary corrections or repairs before use.

Wattage Information
Some appliances need a “surge” or “in rush” of power at start up. 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
local Honda dealer.
Engine:
Symptom CAUSE REMEDY
Engine fails to start Fuel level is low Refill fuel tank making sure
not to overfill
Oil Level is low Fill oil to proper level
Fuel strainer cock closed Open fuel strainer cock
Choke lever is not in the
proper position
Place chose lever “close”
Spark plug loose or dirty 1. If loose, push spark plug
cap back into place
2. Remove spark plug and
clean electrodes
Others See Honda owner’s manual
or contact your local Honda
Dealer for assistance
Generators:
Symptom CAUSE REMEDY
No Power No-fuse breaker is “0”

After making sure that
the total wattage of the
electrical appliance is with
in permissible limits and
there are no defects in the
appliance, turn the no-fuse
breaker to the “1” position
The GFCI receptacle has
tripped or has not been set
Press the reset button in the
