• For camping and RV power, portable power can provide the comforts of home. Some generators with special technology can even run computers. That is right, the power is clean enough for electronics. Honda generators are also ideal for outdoor events like concerts, races, parties, tailgating, and more

Help us help you!  If you have an idea of the number of items you need to run on a generator, we can tell you how many watts you will need. Remember, amps x volts = watts. Every electrical appliance has surge wattage and running wattage. Your generator must have wattage available to accommodate the surge wattage.

• So, which generator do I put in the truck today - the one for the jobsite, campsite or for home backup power? With a wide range of features, there is a perfect generator to fulfill your portable power needs. Whether you need your generator to work like a dog, purr like a kitten, and power your home through the next outage, you can count on Honda generators.
• Honda generators and pumps are powered by world famous Honda engines. All generators and pumps are equipped with an oil alert which protects the engine by shutting it down if the oil pressure level reaches a low level.
• When storing your generator, use non ethanol fuel and always turn the fuel valve to the off position and let generator runout the fuel from the carburetor.

Safe Use of Portable Generators

During power outages, the priority is to provide sufficient light for the safety of your family. If power is out for several hours, you will want to power your refrigerator and freezer to ensure no food spoilage occurs. Remember that it is necessary to continually power these appliances. . Power management will allow you to use a small generator to safely power several appliances.

Never run a generator in an enclosed or even partially enclosed area.

• Portable generators with more than 1000 watts can be used for meal prep to power microwave ovens, a toaster oven and other electrical devices. When it comes to larger power requirements, such as a deep well water pump, you may need more than 5000 watts. Ultimately, you may want to consider having a electrician install a transfer switch so you can safely separate your power from the utilities power.
• A transfer switch completely isolates the generator’s power to selected circuits. This prevents the generator’s power from going outside of the house or building, which could damage property and injure or kill a power company worker.

Storage Tips for Water Pumps

• Always use fresh fuel, and drain old fuel from your pump’s engine.
• Flush the pump case with clean water, then completely drain the pump to prevent from freezing.
• Cover the intake and discharge of pump to prevent the entry of debris during storage.

Priming tips for pumps:

• Place the pump as close to the water source as possible.
• Fill the pump case completely with water.
• Start the pump.
• Shutting off the pump will allow water to flow out of suction hose and require priming.
• The use of a foot volute can decrease pump performance.
• Regular maintenance of your pump will maintain its peak performance.

Honda offers pump accessories such as: 

• Hose kit for pumps:
• Suction hose
• Discharge hose
• Strainers
• Couplers and adaptors

You can also build your own pump hose kit using a wide array of available hoses and adaptors.

When it comes to pump hose kits there are two main types of couplers, pin lug and camlock.

Pin lug pump hoses are threaded onto the pump. They may need a spanner wrench to tighten the pin lug coupler to help install or remove the hoses. Pin lug also have an additional threaded end.

Camlock hoses use a quick connect system that locks on the pump, which means a quicker on and off of the pump hoses.
