Powerful OHV Engine with Secure Shutdown

The Honeywell 6500-6038 is equipped with a powerful Generac 389-cc OHV engine, which features a low-oil shutdown system to prevent engine damage and keep your generator in good shape for long-term use. It also features splash lubrication and a high-performance alternator, ensuring that operation of your electrical devices is efficient and smooth. Plus, this generator’s sturdy, 5.8-gallon fuel tank ensures a full 8.8 hours of operation at a 50-percent load, letting you relax for hours of use.

Plenty of Wattage to Run a Full Range of Appliances

The Honeywell 6500-6038 supplies 6,500 output watts and 8,125 maximum watts (for start-up of devices). For unexpected blackouts, this is enough wattage to run home appliances such as security systems, computers, and electric range tops. For construction and landscaping applications, it’s enough to support devices such as trimmers, belt sanders, and circular saws. And for camping and outdoor events, it can run portable stereos, outdoor lights, and electric grills.

(Note: All appliances should be checked for actual wattage ratings.)

Portable Generator Wattage Needs

When choosing a portable generator, it’s important to identify the starting watts of all the devices you might power at the same time. Some devices draw additional power as they get up and running. If this additional wattage is not accounted for, system overload can result. To determine your requirements for a portable generator, see this wattage chart sample.
