OPERATION
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR,
REVIEW SAFETY SECTION STARTING
ON PAGE 5.
Location Selection – Before starting the generator,
avoid exhaust and location hazards by verifying:
• You have selected a location to operate the generator
that is outdoors and well ventilated.
• You have selected a location with a level and solid
surface on which to place the generator.
• You have selected a location that is at least 6 feet
(1.8 m) away from any building, other equipment or
combustible material.
• If the generator is located close to a building, make
sure it is not located near any windows, doors and/
or vents.
Weather – Never operate your generator outdoors during
rain, snow or any combination of weather conditions that
could lead to moisture collecting on, in or around the
generator.
Dry Surface – Always operate the generator on a dry
surface free of any moisture.
No Connected Loads – Make sure the generator has no
connected loads before starting it. To ensure there are no
connected loads, unplug any electrical extension cords
that are plugged into the control panel receptacles.
NOTICE
Starting the generator with loads already applied
to it could result in damage to any appliance being
powered o the generator during the brief start-up
period.
Grounding the Generator – The National Electric Code
(NEC), as well as many local electrical codes, may require
the generator to be connected to earth ground. The
most common application that requires a ground rod is
when you are using the generator as a separately derived
system to provide back up power to your house. Typically
this is when a transfer switch has a switched neutral.
WARNING
Always operate the generator on a
level surface. Placing the generator
on non level surfaces can cause the
generator to tip over, causing fuel
and oil to spill. Spilled fuel can ignite
if it comes in contact with an ignition
source such as a very hot surface.
NOTICE
Only operate the generator on a solid, level surface.
Operating the generator on a surface with loose
material such as sand or grass clippings can cause
debris to be ingested by the generator that could:
• Block cooling vents
• Block air intake system
As the generator application has many variables that
cannot be determined by the manufacturer of the
generator, a licensed electrician will need to determine if a
grounding rod is needed.
If a licensed electrician has determine the application
requires a ground rod, make sure it is connected to earth
ground by connecting the ground terminal on the control
panel to earth ground using copper wire (minimum 10
AWG). Consult a qualied electrician for local grounding
requirements.
Floating Neutral (WGen2000 & WGen3600: The generator
(stator winding) is isolated from the frame and from the AC
receptacle ground pin.
Neutral Bonded (WGen5500, WGen7500, WGen6500st
and WGen8300st): There is a permanent conduct or
between the generator (stator winding) and the frame.
WARNING
Be sure the generator is properly
connected to earth ground before
operating. The generator must be
grounded to prevent electrical shock
due to faulty appliances.

OPERATION
POWERCORD
Using Extension Cords
Westinghouse Portable Power assumes no responsibility for the content within this table. The use of this table is the
responsibility of the user only. This table is intended for reference only. The results produced by using this table are
not guaranteed to be correct or applicable in all situations as the type and construction of cords are highly variable.
Always check with local regulations and a licensed electrician prior to installing or connecting an electrical appliance
Using Westinghouse Power Cord
Use the extension cord chart to determine the size
of the conductor for extension cord applications.
Determine the distance of the generator to the
appliance on the top line of the chart. Then select the
rated amperage of the generator on the left side of the
chart. Where the two meet is the size of the conductor
required for the application.
The WCG25 power cord is connected to the generator
at the 120/240 plug. The opposite end of the power
cord is a fan tail receptacle with 2 green receptacles
and 2 red receptacles. Each receptacle is rated at
120 volts AC. To balance the load on the generator’s
alternator, use the red and green identiers on the fan
tail receptacle. To keep the load balanced, connect
the loads so that both color receptacles are used. An
example is one in red and one in green. Do not connect
2 in red and none in green, or 2 in green and none in
red. If only one color receptacle is used with multiple
loads, the alternator may experience an unbalanced
load, causing undue vibration to generator.

OPERATION
TRANSFER SWITCH CONNECTIONS
The Westinghouse generator is wired with the neutral
bonded to ground. If you are connecting your generator
to a panel board transfer switch, a licensed electrician
will need to consider removing the bonded neutral to
ensure proper operation of household GFCI circuits.
This is done by removing the jumper wire that connects
the alternator ground to the alternator neutral.
If the bonded neutral is removed the generator must be
relabeled as oating neutral on the control panel.
If your generator is equipped with GFCI receptacles,
removing the bonded neutral may not allow proper
operation of the GFCI receptacles. Keep the jumper
wire with the owner’s manual in case it is needed for
future use when not connected to a transfer switch.
ADDING / CHECKING ENGINE
FLUIDS AND FUEL
BEFORE ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE
FLUIDS AND FUEL, REVIEW SAFETY
SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 5.
DANGER
Filling the fuel tank with gasoline while
the generator is running can cause
gasoline to leak and come in contact
with hot surfaces that can ignite the
gasoline.
Before starting the generator, always check the level of:
• Engine oil
• Gasoline in the fuel tank
Once the generator is started and the engine gets
warm, it is not safe to add gasoline to the fuel tank or
engine oil to the engine while the engine is running or
the engine and muer are hot.
Figure 11
CHECKING AND / OR ADDING ENGINE OIL
WARNING
Internal pressure can build in the
engine crankcase while the engine
is running. Removing the oil ll plug/
dipstick while the engine is hot can
cause extremely hot oil to spray out
of the crankcase and can severely
burn skin. Allow engine oil to cool for
several minutes before removing the
oil ll plug/dipstick.
The unit as shipped does not contain oil in the engine.
You must add engine oil before starting the generator
for the rst time. See Checking Engine Oil and Adding
Engine Oil on page 24 for instructions on checking
engine oil level and the procedure for adding engine oil.
NOTICE
The engine does not contain engine oil as shipped.
Attempting to start the engine can damage
engine components. The owner of the generator
is responsible to ensure the proper oil level is

STORING GENERATOR
WARNING
Never store a generator with fuel in the
tank indoors or in a poorly ventilated
area where the fumes can come in
contact with an ignition source such
as a: 1) pilot light of a stove, water
heater, clothes dryer or any other gas
appliance; or 2) spark from an electric
appliance.
NOTICE
Gasoline stored for as little as 60 days can go bad,
causing gum, varnish and corrosive buildup in fuel
lines, fuel passages and the engine. This corrosive
buildup restricts the ow of fuel, preventing an engine
from starting after a prolonged storage period.
Proper care should be taken to prepare the generator
for any storage.
1. For electric start units make sure the Battery
Disconnect button is pressed in so the generator
does not draw power from battery.
2. Clean the generator as outlined in Cleaning the
Generator on page 29.
3. Drain all gasoline from the fuel tank as best as
possible.
4. With the fuel shut o valve open, start the engine
and allow the generator to run until all the remaining
gasoline in the fuel lines and carburetor is
consumed and the engine shuts o.
5. Close the fuel shut o valve.
6. Change the oil (see Changing Engine Oil on page
25).
7. Remove the spark plug (see Spark Plug
Maintenance on page 26) and place about 1
tablespoon of oil in the spark plug opening. While
placing a clean rag over the spark plug opening,
slowly pull there coil handle to allow the engine to
turn over several times. This will distribute the oil
and protect the cylinder wall from corroding during
storage.
8. Replace the spark plug (see Spark Plug
Maintenance on page 26).
9. Move the generator to a clean, dry place for
storage.
