You’ll have received a user manual with your generator which contains troubleshooting information. Read through it and see if a solution is provided for your problem. If you can’t find your manual, you can download one here.
The manual will walk you through a checklist for each problem to ensure that you’ve tried everything possible to resolve the issue. For example, if you’re having Honda EU10i problems, the manual will ask you to check that there’s enough fuel in the tank, oil in the engine, the engine switch is on, etc.
If the manual doesn’t resolve your issue, Honda recommends that you get your generator repaired at an Authorised Service Centre.
