Honda EU2200i Inverter Generator
The Honda EU2200i Inverter Generator weighs only 53 pounds (including fuel and oil), the built-in handle and having the control panel on the end of the generator makes this the perfect generator for slipping into a small space.
While you should never run a generator on the inside, your camping spot might be a little snug, so storing it in between things outside is excellent. If it should rain, you want the generator in a place that will not get wet.
Before starting the generator, make sure there is nothing plugged into it. To start the generator, simply turn the fuel filler vent cap to the on position, and set the eco throttle to the off position.
If the engine is cold, set the choke lever to the closed position. Turn the power switch to the on location. Now you are ready to pull the handle to get the generator running.
Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, pull briskly away from the generator, and the generator is running. Once the engine is warmed up, simply switch the choke back to the open position, and bingo, you have the extra power to get the job done.
The Honda EU2200i inverter generator’s led lighting system lets you know the engine is at proper voltage and is ready to plug in your device.
The Eco-Throttle feature automatically adjusts the engine speed to produce the power needed. It improves fuel consumption by 20 to 40 percent and reduces noise levels 3 to 9 dBA.
Honda EU2200i Inverter Generator Features
This unit has two 120V 15A DC outlets. One 120V 8.3V DC outlet. AC and DC power have built-in circuit breakers. The AC outlets let you run anything a regular household outlet will carry.
You can quickly charge a car battery with the 8.3V if needed, with the DC outlet. However, you can’t jump-start a dead car battery with this unit.
The inverter generator sends clean energy to your electronics, helping them run smoothly. If the red overload alarm comes on or the circuit breaker pops, the device plugged in more than likely requires more power.
Check the device’s specifications for the correct voltage. You can increase the power output by adding another Honda EU2200i generator. You will need a parallel cable kit.
When finished running the Honda EU2200i, flipping the engine switch to fuel off lets the engine run a few minutes before shutting down.
What can you run with a Honda EU2200i inverter generator?
