this Honda product or create an unsafe condition.
This manual describes the proper methods and procedures for performing service, maintenance, and repairs. Some procedures
require the use of special tools. Any person who intends to use a replacement part, service procedure, or a tool that is not
recommended by Honda must determine the risks to his or her personal safety and the safe operation of this product.
If you need to replace a part, use Honda Genuine parts with the correct part number or an equivalent part. We strongly recommend
that you do not use replacement parts of inferior quality.
For Your Customers Safety

Proper service and maintenance are essential to the customers safety and the reliability of this product. Any error or oversight
while servicing this product can result in faulty operation, damage to the product, or injury to others.
Improper service or repairs can create an

unsafe condition that can cause your customer
or others to be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow the procedures and precautions in this
manual and other service materials carefully.
For Your Safety

Because this manual is intended for the professional service technician, we do not provide warnings about many basic shop safety
practices (Hot parts-wear gloves, for example). If you have not received shop safety training or do not feel confident about your
knowledge of safe servicing practice, we recommend that you do not attempt to perform the procedures described in this manual.
Some of the most important general service safety precautions are given below. However, we cannot warn you of every
conceivable hazard that can arise in performing service and repair procedures. Only you can decide whether or not you should
perform a given task.
Failure to properly follow instructions and

precautions can cause you to be seriously hurt
or killed.
Follow the procedures and precautions in this
manual carefully.
Important Safety Precautions

Make sure you have a clear understanding of all basic shop safety practices and that you are wearing appropriate clothing and
using safety equipment. When performing any service task, be especially careful of the following:
Read all of the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools, the replacement or repair parts, and the skills
required to perform the tasks safely and completely.
Protect your eyes by using proper safety glasses, goggles, or face shields anytime you hammer, drill, grind, or work around
pressurized air, pressurized liquids, springs or other stored-energy components. If there is any doubt, put on eye protection.
Use other protective wear when necessary, for example gloves or safety shoes. Handling hot or sharp parts can cause severe
burns or cuts. Before you grab something that looks like it can hurt you, stop and put on gloves.
Protect yourself and others whenever you have engine-power equipment up in the air. Anytime you lift this product with a hoist,
make sure that the hoist hook is securely attached to the product.
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any servicing procedures, unless the instruction tells you to do otherwise. This will
help eliminate several potential hazards:
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust. Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you run the engine.
Burns from hot parts. Let the engine and exhaust system cool before working in those areas.
Injury from moving parts. If the instruction tells you to run the engine, be sure your hands, fingers and clothing are out of the way.
Gasoline vapors and hydrogen gasses from battery are explosive. To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be careful when
working around gasoline or batteries.
Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts.
Never store gasoline in an open container.
Keep all cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.

CONCLUSION
If the engine stop switch, oil level switch, or ignition coil do not pass the tests, replace the failed component and
recheck for spark.
If the exciter fails EITHER test, replace the stator. Replacing the stator under warranty requires PRIOR authorization.
If the ignition pulse generator (IPG) fails BOTH tests, replace the IPG and recheck for spark.
If any of the continuity tests of the ICM wire harness connector fail, replace the wire harness.
If all components passed the tests, replace the ignition control module and recheck for spark.
If you are unsure of the necessary repair, contact Techline with your completed test record results for guidance.

PILOT SCREW AND LIMITER CAP REPLACEMENT
Only remove the pilot screw and limiter cap when necessary
for repair or for cleaning stubborn deposits from the pilot circuit
passages.
Removal of the limiter cap requires breaking the pilot screw. A
new pilot screw and limiter cap must be installed.
NOTICE
Tampering is a violation of Federal and California law.
1. When the limiter cap has been broken off, remove the
broken pilot screw.
2. Place the spring on the replacement pilot screw, and install
it on the carburetor.
3. Turn the pilot screw in until it is lightly seated; then turn the
screw out the required number of turns.
Pilot screw opening
2-5/8 turns out
4. Apply Locktite 638 to the inside of the new limiter cap, and
then install the cap so its stop prevents the pilot screw from
being turned counterclockwise.
Be careful to avoid turning the pilot screw while installing
the limiter cap. The pilot screw must stay at its required setting.
THROTTLE STOP SCREW

Install the throttle stop screw after installing the pilot jet.
1. Install so that the throttle valve is at the full close position
and the screw end does not come out of the bracket.
2. Start the engine, turn the ECO throttle switch on. Wait until
the engine warms up.
3. Turn the throttle stop screw in until the engine speed starts
to increase: then turn the screw out 3/5 turns.

1. INVERTER TYPE GENERATOR

CONSTRUCTION
The Inverter generator has an outer and an inner rotating set of magnets for both the generator and the ignition. The
inner set of magnets generate AC in the stator windings, while the outer set generates AC for the ignition coil. A multipole coil is used on the stator (15 poles for the AC winding, 6 poles for the DC winding, 1 pole for the sub winding, and
1 pole for the exciter winding). The AC coil in the stator is picked up by the inverter.
Operating Principles
When the rotor rotates, the AC (3-phase) is generated at the AC main winding, which is converted into DC by the
regulator/rectifier. The voltage is stabilized by the regulator/rectifier in the converter simultaneously. The AC generated
at the sub winding becomes the power source for each circuit and elemental device, such as an inverter built-in power
transistor. Getting a signal from the oscillator circuit, the inverter that controls the LED generates the AC (single phase)
of the proper frequency.
AC Overload Protection System
The power output indicator light (green LED) is on while the generator is running with normal load. When overloaded,
the overload warning light turns on by getting signal from the output current detecting circuit to indicate overloading.
When the generator runs overloaded for more than 5 seconds, the circuit cuts off the AC to protect the generator. When
Revised: September 2008 (PSV61Z07005E)
11-1
EU2000i COMPANION
the output is cut off due to overloading, stop the engine and disconnect the attached electrical device from the
generator to remove the load. Start the engine again. The LED (green) should turn on.
2. FULL TRANSISTOR IGNITION
The positive (+) and negative (-) power sources are provided from the exciter
winding. AC current is provided to the Ignition coil from the negative (-) power source.
Current switching to the ignition coil is controlled by the Field Effect Transistor (FET).
The FET turns on when the pulse pole front end reaches the ignition pulse generator
and starts to amplify the current in the ignition coil primary winding. The FET turns off
when the pulse pole back end has passed the ignition pulse generator, which stops
the current in the ignition coil primary winding. The high voltage is then generated in
the ignition coil secondary winding (ignition point).
Rev Limiter
The engine is equipped with a rev limiter to protect the generating system from
excessive engine speed. The rev limiter receives its signal from the ignition pulse
generator. If the engine speed reaches a predetermined level, the rev limiter will be
activated and will cut off the ignition system.
Oil Alert System
The Oil Alert unit will cut off the ignition system when the engine oil falls to a
predetermined level by turning on the oil level switch and the red light emitting diode
(LED), which acts as a warning light. The red LED will remain lit approximately two
seconds after engine stops using electrical energy from the condenser in the ignition control module.
Electrical Source
The engine is operated by the dual electrical source: the positive (+) half-wave and the negative (-) half-wave. The
diodes convert AC that is generated at the exciter winding to the positive (+) half-wave and the negative (-) half-wave
AC currents. The positive (+) half-wave becomes the power source for the rev limiter while the negative (-) half-wave
becomes the power source for the ignition system and the Oil Alert unit. Both of the half waves become the power
source for the FET gate drive. This system realizes a stable rev limiter activating condition and a Field Effect Transistor
(FET) ignition system.

3. ECO-THROTTLE (ELECTRICAL GOVERNOR)
Variable Engine Speed
The inverters CPU compares the current output voltage, current and engine speed with what is programed it its
memory and sets the throttle position accordingly. The actual required engine speed then is based on generator load
ratio and temperature. As a load is applied, the engine speed, generator output power will drop momentarily. The
inverter will calculate the type of load (how much of power drop is occurring) and set the engine speed accordingly.
Engine Stall Prevention System

Detecting the engine load by the throttle opening the system prevents engine speed from going down when the load is
excessively high, beyond engine load capacity by controlling the output voltage at the inverter. This system is able to
generate maximum power more efficiently, and control peak performance for applications that require more electric
power, such as motors. The system automatically activates higher engine speeds in order to compensate for the power
loss of the engine when used in the high altitude or deterioration if the generator caused over time.

4. INDICATORS
OUTPUT INDICATOR (GREEN)
The green LED output indicator has a simplified hour meter function. It blinks when starting the generator, depending on the
cumulative operating hours noted below.
After the hour meter function is complete, the output indicator light turns on/off, depending on the power generating status
of the inverter.

OVERLOAD INDICATOR (RED)

The red LED overload indicator turns ON when there is an overload (in excess of 2.0 kVA), or if there is a
short circuit in a connected appliance. The overload indicator will stay ON, and after about four seconds,
current to the connected appliance(s) will shut OFF, and the output indicator (green) will go OFF.
However, the engine will continue to run.
When a malfunction in the inverter is detected, it will blink.

OIL ALERT INDICATOR (RED)

In case of insufficient engine oil level, the red LED oil alert indicator comes ON and ignition will be cut to stop the engine.
Also, when engine oil is insufficient at start, it will prevent the engine from starting.
