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 notiying 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 Automatic shutoff accompanied 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.

UNDERSTANDING THE CO SENSOR’S

INDICATOR LIGHTS See Figure 5. COLOR DESCRIPTION RED Unsafe levels of carbon monoxide accumulated around the generator. After shut-off, the RED indicator light in the CO Sensor area of the control panel will flash to provide notification that the generator was shut-off due to carbon monoxide levels rising above a safe threshold. The RED light will flash for at least five 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 gener- ator had shut down. YELLOW 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 flash to provide notification that a fault has occurred. The YELLOW light will flash for at least five 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 Westing- house service center. A - Service Generator LEDB - Automatic Shutoff LED FIG. 5

The following information is on your generator’s labels and decals.

Action Label If unsafe levels of carbon monoxide accumulate around the generator, automatic shutoff will occur. If the unit shuts off, leave the area immediately. When it is safe to return, do the following: lMove the generator to an open, outdoor area. lPoint exhaust away. lDon’t run generator in enclosed areas (e.g. not in house or garage). lMove to fresh air. lGet medical help if sick, dizzy or weak. lWARNING -Tampering with carbon monoxide sensor could result in hazardous condition.

12 14 15English | 13 ELECTRICAL 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. Review the Specications 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. Power requirements are often listed on a device’s data label or nameplate. To determine power requirements: lChoose the devices you want to power simultaneously. lRecord and total the running (continuous) watts of each device. The generator must continuously produce this amount of wattage to keep the devices running. lRecord the peak (starting) watts for each device. This is the momentary surge of power required to start electric motors in some tools and appliances. lSelect 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 intermittent starting of devices. Adjust estimate if devices reach peak wattage at the same time.

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: lRemove all loads and start the generator as described later in this manual. lConnect and start the largest device or appliance. Power requirements are often listed on a device’s data label or nameplate. lAllow the generator output to stabilize. Once stable, the engine should run smoothly and the device should function properly. lConnect and start the next largest device or appliance. lAllow the generator output to stabilize. lRepeat this process 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 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: lUse grounded 3-prong extension cords, tools, and appliances, or double-insulated tools and appliances. lMake sure the tool or appliance is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential for electric shock. lMake sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed the rated power of the generator or the receptacle being used. NOTICE Do not exceed the unit’s capacity. Overloading the generator’s wattage and/ or amperage capacity could damage connected devices and critical generator components.
