CAUTION

Grounding the Generator

10 www.honeywellgenerators.com HW5600C Portable Electrical Generator Owner’s Manual

Grounding the Generator

The National Electric Code (NEC) and the Canadian Elec-

trical Code (CE Code) require the generator to be con-

nected to an earth ground. Before using the generator,

connect a copper wire (minimum 10 AWG) from the

ground terminal (see Figure 14) to an earth ground. Con-

sult a licensed electrician for proper grounding methods.

NOTE:

The generator has a floating neutral which means the

ground terminal on the generator is not connected to AC

neutral wire in the generator. If using a receptacle tester, it

will not show the same ground circuit condition as for a

home receptacle.

Special Requirements

There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and

Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, Canadian Cen-

tre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) regula-

tions, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended

use of generator. Consult a licensed electrician, electrical

inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction.

•In some areas, generators are required to be regis-

tered with local utility companies.

•If generator is used at a construction site, there may

be additional regulations which must be observed.

Using Generator for Back-up Power

The NEC requires any generator connected to a building’s

electrical wiring utilize a transfer switch installed by a

licensed electrician.

Generator must be grounded to prevent electrical

shock from faulty appliances.

• Before using generator, consult a licensed electrician,

electrical inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction

for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended

use of generator.

FIGURE 14: Ground Terminal

WARNING

Before connecting to a building’s electrical system, consult

your local utility company and/or a licensed electrician.

Improper connections to a building's electrical system can

be deadly.

Electrical current from generator can feedback into

utility lines. Such feedback may electrocute utility

company workers or others who contact utility lines

during a power outage.

Electrical current can feedback into generator. When

utility power is restored, generator may explode,

burn, or cause fires in building's electrical system.

What is a transfer switch?

A transfer switch is a device that allows switching

from utility power to emergency generator power.

The transfer switch is either a manual switch, an

automatic switch, or a combination of manual and

automatic. During a power outage, the transfer

switch isolates generator-powered circuits from the

utility line, allowing for safe and efficient operation of

OPERATION

Generator Location

When deciding on the location to place your generator,

keep in mind the following safety rules:

Preparing for Operation

Before starting generator, complete the following prepara-

tion tasks:

Be sure generator is placed outdoors in a well

ventilated area. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL

YOU IN MINUTES.

Consult a licensed electrician or utility company if

you will be using your generator for back-up

power. The generator must be connected to build-

ing’s electrical system via a transfer switch. See

“Using Generator for Back-up Power” on page 10.

Check/add engine oil—See “Engine Oil” on page 18.

For initial start-up, follow instructions on oil container

provided with generator.

Check/add fuel*—See “Adding Fuel” on page 20.

Be sure ground terminal is properly connected to

earth ground—See “Grounding the Generator” on

page 10.

Check extension cords—be sure cords are:

In good condition.

Rated for outdoor use and match amperage and

voltage ratings of generator outlet.

Equipped with plugs that have a ground terminal.

Depressed areas such as construction foundations,

pools, or any low-lying areas, can cause carbon

monoxide to accumulate. Inhalation of carbon mon-

oxide can kill you in minutes.

• NEVER use generator inside homes, garages,

crawl spaces, sheds, or similar enclosed

spaces. Use generator only outdoors and far

away from windows, doors, and vents.

If generator is placed on an uneven or flexible sur-

face, generator could tilt or overturn, causing fuel to

spill from gas tank. Spilled fuel could ignite.

• Place generator on firm, level surface and avoid

loose sand or snow. If generator is tilted or

overturned, fuel spillage may result. Also, if

generator is overturned or sinks into a soft sur-

face, sand, dirt, or water may enter generator.

NEVER operate generator in rain or snow, or

when the generator is set on wet surface.

Keep generator at least 6 feet (2 meters) away

from buildings, other equipment, and combustible

materials during operation.

DANGER

WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE

Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide

(CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. If you can

smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even

if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.

• NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawl-

spaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels

of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using

a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply

enough fresh air.

• ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from

open windows, doors, and vents. These openings can

pull in generator exhaust.

Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into

the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-

backup CO alarm in the home.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has

been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor.

You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.

Before connecting to a building’s electrical system,

consult utility company and/or licensed electrician.

• Connecting to a building's electrical system

without using a transfer switch can cause elec-

trical current from generator to feed back into

utility lines, resulting in death or serious injury

to utility company workers or others who con-

tact utility lines during a power outage.

* You must add fuel before using the generator for the first time.

See “Adding Fuel” on page 20.
