INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)

Lubrication

1. Oil is NOT mixed with the gasoline, however adequate oil supply is necessary for proper engine lubrication.
Refer to the Engine Manual for SAE, API and fill quantity specifications.
2. Remove pump fill plug and fill pump with 14.1 oz. of oil.
Use full synthetic motor oil like Mobil 1
Additives in regular oil can cause valve deposits and reduce pump life. For pumps with an oil sight glass, oil
level can be monitored and maintained as shown in Figure 4.

Battery Set-Up and Connections
This unit DOES NOT come with a battery or battery cables. A 12 Volt battery must be connected to the unit.
The 12 Volt battery must be at least a U group size number. Using at least 8 AWG battery cables, a connection
must be made from the starter solenoid on the Honda engine to an in-line 30 amp fuse, and then to the positive
terminal of the 12 Volt battery. From the negative battery terminal, a connection must be made to the ground
screw located on the left side of the frame. Please refer to the wiring schematics in this manual. If you have any
questions, please contact customer service at 1-888-606-5587.
Grounding
1. Use the ground terminal and wing nut on the frame to connect the unit to a suitable ground source. Securely
fasten the end terminal an approved ground wire (not provided) to the ground terminal on the frame. Tighten
the washer and wing nut on top of the ground wire end terminal.
2. The ground wire should be made of #8 gauge wire. Do not use wire with a higher gauge number. Higher
gauge numbers indicate thinner wire, which may not provide an adequate ground path.
3. The other end of the ground wire must be securely fastened to an approved ground source.
The following are ground sources approved by the National Electric Code. Other ground sources may be
acceptable. Refer to the National Electric Code and local regulations for further ground source information. If not
