SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPOR

DANGER

Gasoline is highly explosive and ammable and can

cause severe burns or death.

WARNING

loosen or remove the fuel cap while the generator is running. Turn the unit off and allow it to cool for at

least ve minutes before adding gasoline. Loosen the

fuel cap slowly.

WARNING

attempt to extinguish the ame if the fuel tank valve

is in the ON position. Introducing an extinguisher to a generator with an open fuel switch could create an explosion hazard.

Fire and explosion hazard.

Fire and Burn Hazard. NEVER

In case of a gasoline re, do not

l Fire Hazard. Gasoline is highly ammable. Handle with

care.

l Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent. l Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up

immediately if it comes in contact with the skin.

l Do not store gasoline near furnaces, water heaters, or

any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.

l Keep gasoline away from sparks, open ames, pilot

lights, heat, and other sources of ignition.

l Store any containers containing gasoline in a well-ven-

tilated area, away from any combustibles or source of ignition.

l ALWAYS store gasoline in a container approved for gas-

oline. Unapproved containers can break or deteriorate allowing gasoline or gasoline vapors to escape which can create a serious hazard.

l Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect po-

tential leaks quickly.

l Gas vapors can cause a re if ignited. l Do not smoke when handling fuel, adding fuel to the

generator, or emptying the gas tank.

l Wear eye protection while refueling. l Before adding fuel to the generator, turn the unit off and

allow it to cool a minimum of ve minutes. If necessary,

move the unit to level ground.

l Do not remove the fuel tank cap when the generator is

running.

l Loosen the fuel cap slowly to safely release pressure,

keep gasoline from escaping around the cap, and to

avoid the heat from the mufer igniting fuel vapors.

l NEVER ll the generator’s gasoline tank beyond the

maximum ll ring on the fuel screen. Keeping gasoline levels at or below the ll ring will allow for fuel expansion. Overlling the fuel tank can result in a sudden overow of

gasoline and result in spilled gasoline coming in contact with HOT surfaces.

l Spilled fuel can ignite. Wipe up spills immediately and

allow area to dry before operating the generator. NEVER attempt to burn off spilled fuel.

l Securely tighten the fuel cap after adding gasoline. l Do not cover the fuel cap while the generator is in oper-

ation. Covering the cap may cause the engine to fail or damage the product.

l Drain fuel before storing the unit. Store the unit and

the fuel separately in well-ventilated areas away from

sparks, open ames, pilot lights, heat, and other sources

of ignition.

l Turn the unit off and allow it to cool a minimum of 30

minutes before draining fuel.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE

COSENSOR

The CO Sensor monitors for the accumulation of poisonous carbon monoxide gas around the generator when the engine is running. If increasing levels of CO gas are detected, the CO Sensor automatically shuts down the engine.

The CO Sensor will also detect the accumulation of carbon monoxide from other fuel burning sources used in the area of operation. For example, if the exhaust of fuel burning tools is pointed at a CO Sensor-equipped generator, a shut-off may be initiated due to rising CO levels. This is not an error. Hazardous carbon monoxide has been detected. Move and redirect any additional fuel burning sources to dissipate carbon monoxide away from personnel and occupied buildings.

NOTE: Remote start-equipped generators must be restarted with the START/STOP button on the control panel after an automatic shut-down occurs.

Generators are intended to be used outdoors, far from occupied buildings and the exhaust pointed away from personnel and buildings. If misused and operated in a location that results in the accumulation of CO, like in a partially enclosed area, the CO Sensor shuts off the engine

and the RED indicator light will ash notiying the user that

there are unsafe levels of carbon monoxide.

If the generator shuts off and the RED indicator light ashes,

leave the area immediately. Wait for the carbon monoxide to dissipate and the RED indicator light to turn off before returning to the affected area. Once it is safe to return, read the Action Label for further steps to take. The CO Sensor DOES NOT replace carbon monoxide alarms. Install battery-powered carbon monoxide alarm(s) in your home.

WARNING

with a ashing RED light in the CO Sensor portion

of the control panel is an indication that the generator was improperly located which allowed carbon monoxide to accumulate to unsafe levels. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, weak, or carbon monoxide detectors in your home indicate an alarm, get to fresh air immediately. Call emergency services. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

levels rising above a safe threshold.

The RED light will ash for at least ve minutes after a CO shut-off.

When it is safe to do so, move the generator to an open, outdoor area far away from occupied spaces with exhaust pointed away. Once relocated to a safe area and the red light is off, the generator can be restarted. Introduce fresh air and ventilate the area where the generator had shut down.

A CO sensor system fault occurred. When a system fault occurs, the generator is automatically shut down and the YELLOW indicator light in the CO auto-shutoff area of

the control panel will ash to provide notication that a fault has occurred. The YELLOW light will ash for at least ve minutes after a fault. The

generator can be restarted but may continue to shutoff. A CO sensor fault can only be diagnosed and repaired by an authorized Westinghouse service center.

pacity. Exceeding the generator’s wattage/amperage capacity can damage the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.

Review the Specications for this generator and record the running (continuous) and peak (starting) watts. In general the higher the wattage, the more devices can be powered at the same time. The total power requirements of all connected devices must be considered.

To determine power requirements:

l Choose the devices you want to power simultaneously.

l Record and total the running (continuous) watts of each

device. The generator must continuously produce this amount of wattage to keep the devices running.

l Record the peak (starting) watts for each device. This is

the momentary surge of power required to start electric motors in some tools and appliances.

l Select the device with the highest peak (starting) wattage.

Add the peak (starting) watts for that device to the total running (continuous) watts for all the connected devices to determine the total peak wattage requirement for the generator.

NOTE: Total peak wattage requirement assumes inter-

mittent starting of devices. Adjust estimate if devices reach peak wattage at the same time.

Do not overload the generator’s ca-

MANAGING GENERATOR POWER

To extend the service life of the generator, use caution when adding electrical loads. Disconnect all loads before starting the generator. The safest way to manage generator power is to add loads sequentially by doing the following:

l Remove all loads and start the generator as described

later in this manual.

l Connect and start the largest device or appliance.

l Allow the generator output to stabilize. Once stable,

the engine should run smoothly and the device should function properly.

l Connect and start the next largest device or appliance.

l Allow the generator output to stabilize.

l Repeat this process for each additional load.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

STORAGE

Turn the unit off and allow it to cool a minimum of 30 minutes before storage. Keep the unit upright. Do not store the generator on its side. Drain fuel before storing the unit. Store the unit and the fuel separately in well-ventilated areas

away from sparks, open ames, pilot lights, heat, and other sources of ignition.

NOTICE

Gasoline stored for as little as 30 days can deteriorate, causing gum, varnish, and corrosive build-

up in fuel lines, fuel passages, and the engine. This corrosive buildup restricts the ow of fuel, which can prevent the engine from starting after a prolonged storage period. The use of fuel stabilizer signicantly increases the storage

life of gasoline. Full-time use of fuel stabilizer is recommended. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use.

STORAGE TIME RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE

Less than 1 month
