HW7000EH Portable Electrical Generator Owner’s Manual www.honeywellgenerators.com 17 High-Altitude Operation High-Altitude Operation At high altitudes, standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich. Performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. High-altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the carburetor and then readjusting the pilot screw. If you always operate the engine at altitudes higher than 5000 feet (1500 meters) above sea level, have an authorized generator dealer perform this carburetor modification. Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately 3.5% for each 1000 foot (300 meter) increase in altitude above sea level. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made. • Plan carefully: Before using the generator to power appliances, take time to add power ratings (wattage) of each appliance and verify that total wattage does not exceed rated output of generator. Power rating information can usually be found on an appliance’s product label, stamped inside, or on the back of the appliance. See Table 1 for a listing of average appliance wattage requirements. • NEVER overload: Circuit breakers will stop the flow of electricity between generator and appliance if the generator is overloaded. This will be indicated by a “tripped” breaker. If the master circuit breaker is tripped, reduce the load on the Twist-Lock (NEMA L14-30R) receptacle and reset the breaker. If a duplex circuit breaker is tripped, reduce the load on the duplex (NEMA 5-20R) receptacles above the breaker, wait several minutes for the breaker to cool, and reset the breaker. • Pay attention to appliance operation: If appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn it OFF immediately. Disconnect appliance and determine whether problem is appliance, or if rated load capacity of generator has been exceeded. • Use suitable extension cords: If using an extension cord to connect appliance to generator, use only ULlisted, three-prong extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. Be sure extension cord is proper size (wire-gauge) to handle electric load that will be plugged into it. NOTICE If the engine is jetted for high-altitude and is used at a lower altitude, it will run a lean air-fuel mixture that results in reduced performance, possible over-heating, and possible serious engine damage. Powering Appliances NOTE: In this manual, the term “appliance” refers to any electrical device that can be connected to generator for power. Rules for Powering Appliances NOTICE NEVER start generator with electrical appliances plugged in and turned on. WARNING Faulty appliances and power cords can result in electrical shock. • Before attempting to power an appliance, be sure generator has been properly grounded, and the appliance and power cord are in good working order. • NEVER use generator for any purpose other than its intended use. • NEVER parallel connect generators or lengthen the exhaust pipe. • NEVER connect generator directly to any household receptacle using a power cord with male plugs at both ends. CAUTION NEVER run power cords under carpet, rugs, or other materials where heat might build up or cord damage may go unnoticed. WARNING Medical and Life Support Uses • In case of emergency, call 911 immediately. • NEVER use this product to power life support devices or life support appliances. • NEVER use this product to power medical devices or medical appliances. • Inform your electricity provider immediately if you or anyone in your household depends on electrical equipment to live. • Inform your electrical provider immediately if a loss of power would cause you or anyone in your household to experience a medical emergency. 18 www.honeywellgenerators.com HW7000EH Portable Electrical Generator Owner’s Manual Powering Appliances Appliance Wattage Information Appliance Wattage Calculator Use the table below as a guide to determine how much power you will need to run appliances.
