• Do not operate the generator when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
• Do not use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged.
• All electrical tools and appliances operated from this generator must be properly grounded by use of a third wire or be double-insulated.
• When this generator is used to supply a building wiring system the generator must be installed by a qualified electrician and connected to a transfer switch as a separately derived system in accordance with NFPA 70, National Electrical Code.
  If you begin to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the generator, move to fresh air IMMEDIATELY. See a doctor, as you can have carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents as recommended by the US Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Your specific home and/or wind conditions may require additional distance.
• While operating and storing, keep at least 5 feet of clearance on all sides of the generator, including overhead. Allow the generator to cool a minimum of 30 minutes before storage. Heat created by the muffler and exhaust gases could be hot enough to cause serious burns and/or ignite combustible objects.
• Do not touch the muffler or engine. They are very HOT and will cause severe burns. Do not put body parts or any flammable or combustible materials in the direct path of the exhaust.
• Always remove any tools or other service equipment used during maintenance away from the generator before operating.
• Avoid skin contact with engine oil or gasoline. Wear protective clothing and equipment. Wash all exposed skin with soap and water.
• A transfer switch must be installed by a licensed electrician approved by the authority having jurisdiction. The installation must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.

FUEL SAFETY

• Store fuel in a container approved for gasoline.
• Do not smoke when filling the generator with gasoline.
• Do not allow the generator's gas tank to overflow when filling.
• Shut down the engine and allow it to cool for five minutes before adding gasoline or oil to the generator.
• Never remove the fuel cap when the generator is running. Shut off the engine and allow the unit to cool at least five minutes. Remove the fuel cap slowly to

release pressure, keep fuel from escaping around the cap, and to avoid the heat from the muffler igniting fuel vapors. Tighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.

• Wipe spilled fuel from the unit.
• Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel.
• Never overfill the fuel tank. Leave room for fuel to expand. Overfilling the fuel tank can result in a sudden overflow of gasoline and result in spilled gasoline coming in contact with HOT surfaces.
• Spilled fuel can ignite. If fuel is spilled on the generator, wipe up any spills immediately. Dispose of rag properly. Allow area of spilled fuel to dry before operating the generator.
• Wear eye protection while refueling.
• Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.
• Store any containers containing gasoline in a wellventilated area, away from any combustibles or source of ignition.

Fire and explosion hazard. Gasoline is highly explosive and flammable and can cause severe burns or death.

• In case of a gas fire, do not attempt to extinguish the flame 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.
• Gas has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential leaks quickly.
  Gas vapors can cause a fire if ignited.
  Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up immediately if it comes in contact with the skin.

When starting the generator:

• Make sure that the fuel cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines, and exhaust system are properly in place.
• If you spill any gasoline on the tank, allow it to fully evaporate before operating.
• Make sure the generator is on a flat surface before operating.

When transporting or servicing the generator:

• Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting.

When storing the generator:

• Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other sources of ignition.
• Do not store gasoline near furnaces, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.

SAFETY LABELS AND DECALS

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, notifies the user with a RED indicator light, and directs the user to read the Action Label for steps to take. The CO Sensor DOES NOT replace carbon monoxide alarms. Install battery-powered carbon monoxide alarm(s) in your home.

WARNING

Automatic shutoff accompanied with a flashing RED light in the CO Sensor portion of the control panel is an indication that the generator was improperly located. 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.

GROUNDING

WARNING

Shock hazard. Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric shock.

NOTICE

Only use grounded 3-prong extension cords, tools, and appliances, or double-insulated tools and appliances.

The generator neutral is floating. The generator ground terminal is connected to the frame of the generator, the metal non-current-carrying parts of the generator, and the ground terminals of each receptacle. The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the frame and from the AC receptacle ground pin. Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin connection may not function properly.

If this generator will be used only with cord and plug equipment connected to the receptacles mounted on the generator, National Electric Code does not require that the unit be grounded. However, other methods of using the generator may require grounding to reduce the risk of shock or electrocution.

Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.

Engine power is reduced the higher you operate above sea level. Output will be reduced approximately 3.5% for every 1000 feet of increased altitude from sea level.

High altitude adjustment is required for operation at altitudes over 2000 ft. (762 m). Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions.

NOTICE

DO NOT operate the generator at altitudes below 2,000 ft. (762 m) with the high altitude kit installed. Engine damage may occur.

High Altitude Carburetor Kit: Part# 518916-01

BREAK-IN PERIOD

For proper break-in, do not exceed 50% of the rated running watts (1850 watts) during the first five hours of operation.

Vary the load occasionally to allow stator windings to heat and cool and help seat the piston rings.

IMPORTANT: Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices connected.

1. Let the generator run with no load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and generator.
2. Turn the fuel knob to the OFF position.
3. Allow the engine to cool, then turn the fuel cap vent to the OFF position.

Note: If there is an emergency and the inverter must be stopped quickly, immediately move the fuel switch to the OFF position.

FREQUENCY OF USE

If the generator will be used on an infrequent or intermittent basis (more than one month before next use), refer to the Storage sections of this manual for information regarding fuel deterioration.

ECO MODE

NOTICE

Always start the generator with ECO MODE OFF. Allow the engine speed to stabilize and the OUTPUT READY LED to illuminate before switching ECO MODE ON.

ECO MODE MBUSTIBLE EFICIENTE MUTATEUR D'ECONOMIE

Note: Do not use ECO MODE when in parallel operation with another Westinghouse generator.

ECO MODE minimizes fuel consumption and noise by adjusting the engine RPM to the minimum required for the current load.

Turn ECO MODE ON when powering small appliances with continuous loads such as a computer or electric light.

Turn ECO MODE OFF when powering large surge loads such as an air conditioner or electric pump.

To turn on ECO MODE, verify that the OUTPUT READY LED is illuminated green, then push the switch to the ON position. If no load is present, the generator RPM will drop to idle speed. The generator will detect loads as they are applied and increase engine RPM.

To run the generator at maximum power and RPM, push the ECO MODE switch to the OFF position.

AC CIRCUIT BREAKERS

The circuit breakers will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant overload of the generator at each receptacle. The main circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if the combined load of the receptacles exceeds 31 Amps.

If an AC circuit breaker switches OFF automatically, check that the appliance is working correctly and it does not exceed the rated load capacity of the circuit before resetting the AC circuit breaker ON.

OVERLOAD RESET

The generator will automatically switch OFF all AC output to protect the generator if overloaded or if there is a short circuit in a connected appliance. However, the engine will continue to run. Marginal overloading that temporarily illuminates the OVERLOAD LED may shorten the service life of the generator.

OVERLOAD on the control panel will illuminate red and the green OUTPUT READY will be OFF.

To restore AC output:

1. Turn off and unplug all connected electrical loads.
2. Push the RESET button on the control panel until the OVERLOAD LED goes OFF and the OUTPUT READY LED is illuminated.
3. Reset the circuit breakers if OFF.
4. Verify that the intended running and surge loads do not exceed the generator's capacity.
5. Reconnect electrical loads sequentially, allowing the generator to stabilize after each load is connected.

GENERATOR CAPACITY

NOTICE

Do not overload the generator's capacity. Exceeding the generator's wattage/amperage capacity can damage the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.

Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will power at the same time.

The total power requirements (Volts × Amps = Watts) of all appliances connected must be considered. Appliance and power tool manufacturers usually list rating information near the model or serial number.

To determine power requirements:

1. Select the items you will power at the same time.
2. Total the continuous (running) watts of these items. This is the amount of power the generator must produce to keep the items running. See the wattage reference chart on the next page.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need. Surge wattage is the short burst of power needed to start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a circular saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start at the same time, total surge watts can be estimated by adding only the item(s) with the highest additional surge watts to the total rated watts from step 2.

Example:

Tool or Appliance	Running Watts*	Starting Watts*
RV Air Conditioner (11,000 BTU)	1010 1600
TV (Tube Type)	300 0
RV Refrigerator	180 600
Radio	200 0
Light (75 Watts)	300 0
Coffee Maker	600 0
	2590 Total	1600
	Running	Highest
	Watts*	Starting
		Watts*

Total Running Watts 2590

Highest Starting Watts + 1600

Total Starting Watts Needed 4190

*Wattages listed are approximate. Verify actual wattage.

POWER MANAGEMENT

To prolong the life of the generator and attached devices, use care when adding electrical loads to the generator. There should be nothing connected to the generator outlets before starting the engine. The correct and safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially add loads as follows:

1. With nothing connected to the generator, start the engine as described in this manual.
2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest load you have.
3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs smoothly and attached device operates properly).
4. Plug in and turn on the next load.
5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.

EXTENSION CORDS

WARNING

Asphyxiation hazard. Extension cords running directly into the home increase the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning through any openings. If an extension cord running directly into your home is used to power indoor items, there is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to people inside the home. Always use battery-powered carbon monoxide detector (s) that meet current UL 2034 safety standards when running the generator. Regularly check the detector (s) battery.

WARNING

Asphyxiation hazard. When operating the generator with extension cords, make sure the generator is located in an open, outdoor area, at least 20 ft. (6 m.) far away from occupied spaces with exhaust pointed away.

WARNING

Fire and electrocution hazard. Never use worn or damaged extension cords. Damaged or overloaded extension cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in death or serious injury.

Before connecting an AC appliance or power cord to the generator:

• Use grounded 3-prong extension cords, tools, and appliances, or double-insulated tools and appliances.
• Make sure the tool or appliance is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential for electric shock.
• Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed the rated power of the generator or the receptacle being used.

EXTENSION CORD SIZING

Only use grounded 3-prong extension cords marked for outdoor use that are rated for the electrical load.

Total Amperage	Minimum Gauge, Outdoor Rated
	Up to 50 FT (15 M)	Up to 100 FT (30 M)

PARALLEL OPERATION

WARNING

Fire and electrocution hazard. Never connect or disconnect the parallel cord leads when a generator is running.

CAUTION

Correct connection of the left and right cables is very important when the generators are used with a transfer switch to supply power to a building. To avoid serious personal injury or damage to electrical devices, including the generators, do not try to power an electrical system in a building without using an approved transfer switch.

NOTICE

Connecting to a generator that is not compatible can cause a low voltage output that can damage tools and appliances powered by the generator.

Parallel operation gives you the ability to link to a compatible Westinghouse Inverter Generator for combined running and peak power output.

A Westinghouse 507PC parallel cord (purchased separately) is required for parallel operation. This cord can be purchased from an authorized Westinghouse Generator dealer.

Note: Compatible Westinghouse generators without parallel ports can be operated in parallel with the receptacle-mounted parallel cable, Part# 260041.

NOTICE

DO NOT use ECO MODE during parallel operation if powering large surge loads such as an air conditioner or electric pump. Engine rpm may not adjust quickly enough to provide the voltage requirements of large surge loads, causing damage to the devices or the generators.

1. On both generators, make sure the fuel knob and the ECO MODE switch are in the OFF position.
2. Connect two parallel cable leads to the parallel outlets on the first generator, then connect the opposite cable leads to the other generator's parallel outlets.

Note: If powering devices directly from the generators (not connected to a building's transfer switch), you do not need to match the left/right cables to the generator's parallel outlets.
3. Start one of the generators and wait until the OUTPUT READY LED illuminates.
4. Start the second generator and wait until the OUTPUT READY LED illuminates before connecting a load.

1. Connect additional loads as described in Power Management section.
2. Unplug all loads before stopping the generators.

TRANSPORTING

CAUTION

Weight hazard. Always have assistance when lifting the generator.

• Allow the generator to cool a minimum of 30 minutes before transporting.
• Replace all protective covers on the generator control panel.
• Only use the generator's fixed handle(s) to lift the unit or attach any load restraints such as ropes or tie-down straps. Do not attempt to lift or secure the generator by holding onto any of its other components.
• Keep the unit level during transport to minimize the possibility of fuel leakage or, if possible, drain the fuel or run the engine until the fuel tank is empty before transport.
• The generator wheels are only intended for hand transport. The wheels are not suitable for towing the generator either on or off-road.
• Use the extendable handle for one-person, hand transport. To deploy the handle, push on the locking button and pull on the handle until it's fully extended. To stow it, push on the locking button and push on the handle until it's fully retracted. Only extend or retract the handle while the generator is OFF, stationary, and resting on a horizontal surface. Do not use the extendable handle to lift the generator entirely off the ground, tow it, or up-end it.

CAUTION

Fire hazard. Do not up-end the generator or place it on its side. Fuel or oil can leak and damage to the generator may occur.

STORAGE

Proper storage preparation is required for trouble-free operation and generator longevity.

NOTICE

Gasoline stored for as little as 30 days can deteriorate, causing gum, varnish, and corrosive buildup in fuel lines, fuel passages and the engine. This corrosive buildup restricts the flow of fuel, which can prevent the engine from starting after a prolonged storage period. The use of fuel stabilizer significantly 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 No	service required.
2 to 6 months	Fill with fresh gasoline and add gasoline stabilizer. Drain the carburetor float bowl.

STORAGE TIME RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE

6 months or longer

Drain the fuel tank and carburetor float bowl.

SHORT TERM STORAGE

• Allow the generator to cool a minimum of 30 minutes before storage.
• Replace all protective covers on the generator control panel.
• Wipe the generator with a moist cloth. Clean any debris from the air inlets under the control panel and muffler cooling vents.
• Store the generator in a well-ventilated, dry location away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other sources of ignition such as areas with a spark-producing electric motor or where power tools are operated.
• Do not store the generator or gasoline near furnaces, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.
• With the engine and exhaust system cool and all surfaces dry, cover the generator to keep out dust. Do not use a plastic sheet as a dust cover. Non-porous materials trap moisture and promote rust and corrosion.

LONG TERM STORAGE

Even properly stabilized fuel can leave residue and cause corrosion if left long term. If storing the generator for two to six months, drain the float bowl to prevent gum and varnish buildup in the carburetor.

DRAINING THE FLOAT BOWL

1. Remove the engine service cover.
2. Locate the drain hose extending from the bottom of the carburetor float bowl.

1. Place the loose end of the hose outside the generator into an approved gasoline container to catch the drained fuel.
2. Loosen the float bowl drain screw and allow the fuel to drain. Tighten the float bowl drain screw.
3. Route the drain hose between the air cleaner housing and the engine service cover. Install the engine service cover.

DRAINING THE FUEL TANK

If storing the generator for longer than six months, drain the fuel tank to prevent fuel separation, deterioration, and deposits in the fuel system.

1. Unscrew the fuel tank cap. Remove the fuel screen filter by slightly compressing it while removing it from the tank.
2. Using a commercially available gasoline hand pump (not included), siphon the gasoline from the fuel tank into an approved gasoline container. DO NOT use an electric pump.
3. Reinstall the fuel screen filter and the fuel tank cap.
4. Start the generator and allow it to run until the generator engine stops.
5. Remove the spark plug.
6. Put a teaspoon of engine oil into the cylinder and pull the recoil handle until resistance is felt. At this position the piston is coming up on its compression stroke and both valves are closed. Storing the engine in this position will help prevent internal corrosion. Return the recoil handle gently.
7. Reinstall the spark plug. Leave the spark plug boot disconnected to prevent accidental starting.
8. Install the engine service cover.

VALVE CLEARANCE

NOTICE

Checking and adjusting valve clearance must be done when the engine is cold.

1. Remove the rocker arm cover and carefully remove the gasket. If the gasket is torn or damaged, it must be replaced.
2. Remove the spark plug so the engine can be rotated more easily.
3. Rotate the engine to top dead center (TDC) by pulling the recoil handle slowly. Looking through the spark plug hole, the piston should be at the top (both valves are closed).
4. Both the rocker arms should be loose at TDC on the compression stroke. If they are not, rotate the engine 360^
5. Insert a feeler gauge between the rocker arm and the valve stem to measure valve clearance.

Intake Valve Exhaust Valve

Valve Clearance	0.0031 – 0.0047 in (0.08 – 0.12 mm)	0.0051 – 0.0067 in (0.13 – 0.17 mm)
