Connections to a Building's Electrical System

Do not connect an EB2200i generator to a home or building's electrical
system.
The Honda EB2200i generator is designed for construction job site use
and cannot be connected to a building's electrical system. This
generator has the neutral bonded to ground to comply with OSHA job
site temporary power regulation. Building main breaker boxes also have
the neutral bonded to ground, so if an EB2200i generator is connected to
a home or building electrical system, the generator GFCI system will
activate and power to the receptacles will shut off.

System Ground

This generator has a system ground that connects generator frame
components to ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The
system ground is connected to the AC neutral wire.

Special Requirements

Do not lay the generator on its side when moving, storing, or operating
it. Oil may leak and damage the engine or your property.
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 that must be observed.
