Introduction
This guide demonstrates how to remove or replace the oil level switch assembly on your Honda EB3000CK2A 3000 Watt Generator.
There are a large number of fasteners on the generator that must be removed for this repair. In order to keep them all organized and accessible, replace them in/on the same bolt hole or stud they were removed from as you work through the guide. If you encounter problems during the process, consult the official Honda service guides.
You will need to refill the engine oil for this procedure. The generator requires up to 0.58 liters of SAE 10W-30 oil.
