Introduction
This guide shows how to remove and replace the oil level switch for the Honda EU2200IT generator. The switch is attached from within the crankcase and requires major disassembly.
If you encounter problems during the process, consult the official Honda service guides.
Drain the fuel from the fuel tank before you begin this procedure. Any fuel remaining in the tank will spill out. Be ready to contain any spillage.
The crankcase must be resealed with liquid sealant. Be sure to have Threebond 1207B or equivalent liquid sealant at hand before you begin the procedure.
You will need to refill the engine oil for this procedure. The generator requires up to 0.46 liters of SAE 10W-30 oil.
You may find it helpful to loosely replace the bolts after you removed a part, in order to keep track of the bolts and to keep the screw holes clean.
