Honda EG4000CLAN-R Overview
This reconditioned Honda EG4000CLAN-R is a 4,000-watt gas generator from Honda’s Economy Series, a line described as reliable, no-frills power. It runs at 3,500 watts rated on 120/240 V, and it is equipped with CO-Minder, which shuts the engine off if carbon monoxide levels near the unit become dangerously high.
Power comes from a 270cc Honda GX270 engine with recoil starting. A DAVR digital voltage regulator keeps voltage stable within about 1 percent, and the steel frame, Oil Alert low-oil shutdown and overload protection on every circuit guard the equipment. The fuel tank holds 6.3 gallons, which is three times the size of tanks on previous models. Honda adds a fuel gauge and centralized controls for ease of use. Honda frames the Economy Series as combining reliability with cost savings, and describes its commercial-grade OHV engines as reliable, easy to start and rugged. The unit weighs 156 lb, and noise is listed at 67 dB(A) at rated load.
