Honeywell 6039 User Manual

Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock/

unlock). Connect a suitable 4-wire grounded cord set to the plug

and to the desired load. The cord set should be rated for 250 Volts

AC at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 7).

Figure 7 - 120/240 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle

Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase

loads requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps or

240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 7200 watts

(7.2 kW) of power at 30 Amps. The outlet is protected by a 2-pole

toggle switch circuit breaker.

If there are any problems operating the generator, please call the

generator helpline at 1-855-GEN-INFO.

Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors!

NEVER use in the home, in a vehicle, or in

partly enclosed areas such as garages, EVEN

IF doors and windows are open! ONLY use

outdoors and far from open windows, doors,

vents, and in an area that will not accumulate

deadly exhaust.
The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon

monoxide, which you cannot see or smell.

This poisonous gas, if breathed in sufficient

concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or

even death.
Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and

ventilating air is critical to correct generator

operation. Do not alter the installation or permit

even partial blockage of ventilation provisions,

as this can seriously affect safe operation

of the generator. The generator MUST be

operated outdoors.
This exhaust system must be properly

maintained. Do nothing that might render the

exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance

with any local codes and/or standards.

Always use a battery operated carbon

monoxide alarm indoors, installed according to

the manufacturers instructions.

The generator has a system ground that connects the generator

frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output

receptacles. The system ground is bonded to the AC neutral wire

in the generator control panel via a jumper wire.

There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that

apply to the intended use of the generator.
Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the

local agency having jurisdiction:
In some areas, generators are required to be registered with

local utility companies.

If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be

additional regulations which must be observed.

Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system

must be made by a qualified electrician. The connection must

isolate the generator power from utility power or other alternative

power sources and must comply with all applicable laws and

electrical codes.
A 3-POLE TRANSFER SWITCH MUST BE USED WITH THIS

GENERATOR. A 2-POLE TRANSFER SWITCH WILL NOT WORK

BECAUSE THE NEUTRAL WIRES ARE BONDED TO GROUND.

The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and

external electrically conductive parts of this generator be

properly connected to an approved earth ground (Figure 8).

Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the

unit. For that purpose, connecting a No. 10 AWG (American Wire

Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding lug and to an

earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode) provides

adequate protection against electrical shock. However, local codes

may vary widely. Consult with a local electrician for grounding

requirements in the area.
