SunGenie installation guide for the Honda EU3000is
Time required: 1.5 to 3.5 hours
Tools required:
-Long #2 Philips Screwdriver
(greater than 6 inches in
Shaft length required)
- Soldering iron
- 10mm deep socket & ratchet
- Scissors
- Electrical Tape
- Pliers
- Hex Wrench (included)
- Small Screwdriver (included)
- Electrical Solder
- Drill and 1/8” drill bit
Step 1: Remove front noise cover by
removing the four 10mm nuts.
Step 2: Remove key switch ring-nut. Remove fuel
valve knob by removing recessed screw with long
phillips screwdriver
Step 3: Loosen control panel by removing
the four 10mm bolts and gently pull out on
panel.
Step 4: Remove ignition switch from panel and unplug
the ignition switch harness.
Step 5: Unplug the wire harness from
SunGenie and locate the solid red wire.
Step 6: Looking at the backside of the ignition switch
locate the unused terminal marked number “6”. Solder
the red wire from SunGenie to this terminal. Route wire
under flexible metal band.
Step 7: Locate black wire from SunGenie.
Attach eyelet wire connector to wire.
Attach this wire to the (-) terminal of the
generator’s battery.
Step 8: Mount SunGenie to top of battery and fasten
with wire tie to negative battery cable.
Step 9: Mount antenna along side of
generator being careful to keep antenna
clear of sound cover.
Step 10: loop antenna wire through wire clip as shown.
Then fasten with wire tie.
Step 11: Locate brown wire on SunGenie
wire harness and black/white/brown wire
on ignition switch harness (top-middle,
see diagram).
Step 12: Using provided screwdriver, depress retainer
clip on wire connector and remove from wire harness.
Attach and/or solder the brown wire to this wire, then
reconnect into harness.
Step 13: Attach and/or solder the
red/white wire from SunGenie to the
black/brown wire on the ignition switch
harness and reconnect into harness.
Step 14: Attach and/or solder the white wire from
SunGenie to the green/brown on the generator ignition
switch harness. Reconnect into harness and confirm all
wires are securely connected.
Step 15: Bundle wiring as shown with electrical tape
and fasten the wire bundle to existing wire on backside
of control using wire ties. Leave enough slack to route
wire harness under control panel and reconnect wire
harness to SunGenie.
Secure ignition switch to control panel, reinstall control
panel and fuel valve.
Step 16: Disconnect 3-wire coupler on
choke servo and route wire under control
panel into engine compartment.
Step 17: Open side door of generator and
remove air cleaner cover, and air filter.
Remove the two 10mm nuts and one
10mm screw that hold the air box.
Remove the air box from the unit.
Step 18: With Scissors, cut out template along lines
provided. Hold template against back of air box for
guide in drilling holes to mount choke servo. (Note: It is
important that the servo will fit tightly against the left
corner of space.
Step 19: Using the two tapered head
screws, install the right angle mounts to
the servo to attach servo to the air box.
Very important that the servo butts up
against the back and also to the left. Using
the three pan head screws and washers,
fasten the servo to the air box. The right
angle mounts can swivel to accommodate
the alignment of holes for the screws.
Step 20: Reconnect servo coupler and install air box on
to generator. Tighten nuts to check clearance between
servo arm and carburetor insulator plate. If any contact,
remove air box and repeat 19 but change the mounting
position of the servo for more clearance.
Tight to corner as indicated by arrow.
Step 21: Remove the choke cable from choke arm, and
loop the small servo cable through the cable slot in the
choke actuator grabber then reinstall the choke cable
over the small servo cable. (Note: Reinstall choke cable
to original position with tapered end of spring fitted into
recessed area of choke.)
Troubleshoot: If generator does not start with the remote, confirm problem
is NOT the generator. Consult Owners manual if the generator will not start
with normal starting procedure.
UNIT CRANKS BUT DOES NOT START: The most common problem is
improper choke operation by the servo. Looking at the choke servo, the
servo and the choke arm should move when the start button is pressed on the
remote. If not, there may be a disconnect in the three wire connection
between the servo and the SunGenie OR mechanical interference of the
choke arm. Confirm the SunGenie installation wiring has been done
accurately by reviewing the installation steps above.
The choke should close completely during remote start procedure. Assure
there is no mechanical interference with the servo arm movement. If the
choke does not close completely and there is no mechanical interference, a
simple adjustment of the choke servo actuator arm is necessary. The
actuator arm is fastened by a Phillips head screw onto a splined shaft which
will allow for the easy repositioning of the arm on the shaft to accomplish a
full-choke start.
A discharged generator battery will also keep the remote from operating
properly.
Troubleshoot: The red lamp inside of the SunGenie unit should blink once
when power is applied by turning ignition switch to ON. If not-then no
power is reaching unit.
Troubleshoot: Leaving the ignition key in the “on” position for 36 hours or
more without use of the generator will discharge the battery and cause the
servo to not fully choke when cranking. The key may remain “ON”
continually if the generator is being used on a day to day basis for only an
hour or more.
Sun H onda Rem ote Control
For Honda EU3000is
User’s Guide
The Sun remote control transmitter allows you to start and stop your generator from the leisure of your
living space and gives you the flexibility to locate your generator where it will be out of sight and out
of the way.
The key switch must be “on” for remote control
operation. Leaving the key “ON” for longer than 36
hours without operation of the generator may begin to
discharge the battery.
Large Blue Button Momentary Choke and Start
Normal start button.
Instructions: Press and release. (If generator is out of
sight, assure a monitoring light is “on” near you to
confirm the generator has started.)
Smaller Middle Blue Button Extended Choke And Start
Cold-start / dry-start button.
Applies the choke longer while cranking.
Instructions: Press and hold this button for only an
additional moment or two.
Red Button
Engine stop button.
Press this button to stop generator.
(If generator is out of sight, assure the monitoring light
referred to in “button 1” goes out to confirm generator
has stopped.)
Warning: To avoid unplanned generator starting or discharging the battery, turn “off” key switch
when the generator is not going to be used.
