WARNING
HW7000EH Portable Electrical Generator Owner’s Manual www.honeywellgenerators.com 11
Grounding the Generator
Grounding the Generator
The National Electric Code (NEC) requires the generator
to be connected to an earth ground. Before using the gen-
erator, connect a copper wire (minimum 10 AWG) from the
ground terminal (see Figure 17) to an earth ground. Con-
sult a licensed electrician for proper grounding methods.
NOTE:
The generator is neutral floating which means the ground
terminal on the generator is not connected to the AC neu-
tral 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, 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 Backup Power
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 17: Ground Terminal
WARNING
Improper connections of the generator to a building’s electri-
cal 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.
Before connecting to a building’s electrical system, con-
sult a licensed electrician, electrical inspector, or local
agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances
that apply to the intended use of generator.

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. See “Using Generator for Backup Power” on
page 11.
Check/add engine oil—See “Adding Engine Oil” on
page 22. For initial start-up, follow instructions on oil
container provided with generator.
Check/add fuel*—See “Adding Engine Fuel” on
page 22.
Be sure ground terminal is properly connected to
earth ground—See “Grounding the Generator” on
page 11.
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 materi-
als during operation.

WARNING
WARNING
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 or licensed electrician.
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.
* You must add fuel before using the generator for the first time
See “Adding Engine Fuel” on page 22.

High-Altitude Operation
18 www.honeywellgenerators.com HW7000EH Portable Electrical Generator Owner’s Manual
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 per-
form 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 car-
buretor modification is made.
Powering Appliances
NOTE:
In this manual, the term “appliance” refers to any electri-
cal device that can be connected to generator for power.
Rules for Powering Appliances
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 appli-
ance 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 appli-
ance, 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 UL-
listed, 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.
NOTICE
NEVER start generator with electrical appliances plugged in
and turned on.
Faulty appliances and power cords can result in elec-
trical shock.
Before attempting to power an appliance, be sure gen-
erator 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.
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 equip-
ment 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.
WARNING
WARNING
NEVER run power cords under carpet, rugs, or other materi-
als where heat might build up or cord damage may go unno-
ticed.

years. If any evaporative emission-related part on your equip-
ment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by

ranty solely for the lack of receipts. As the portable generator
owner, you should however be aware that Northshore Power
Systems may deny you warranty coverage if your portable
generator or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or
improper maintenance or unapproved modifications. You are
responsible for presenting your portable generator to North-
shore Power Systems’s distribution center or service center
as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should

COVERAGE
Northshore Power Systems warrants to the ultimate pur-
chaser and each subsequent purchaser that the portable
generator is: Designed, built and equipped so as to conform
with all applicable regulations; and free from defects in mate-
rials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted
part to be identical in all material respects to that part as
described in the application for certification. The warranty
period begins on the date the portable generator is delivered
to an ultimate purchaser or first placed into service. The war-
ranty period is two years. Subject to certain conditions and

inspection in the written instructions supplied is war-
ranted for the warranty period stated above. Any such
part repaired or replaced under warranty will be war-
ranted for the remaining warranty period.

required maintenance in the written instructions supplied
is warranted for the period of time before the first sched-
uled replacement date for that part. If the part fails before

or replaced by Northshore Power Systems according to
subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced
under warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the
period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for

vided without charge to the owner. Such use will not
reduce the warranty obligations of Northshore Power
