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.

” position.
2. Unplug all appliances.
3. Move the engine switch to the “
off
” position.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the “
off
“position.
Never leave an appliance plugged into the generator when you
stop the generator, as damage could result to the generator and/or
appliance.
NOTICE

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.
