GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• NEVER use the generator to power medical support equipment.

• DO NOT operate the generator when you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.

• When this generator is used to supply a building wiring system the generator must be installed by a qualied electrician and connected to a transfer switch as a separately derived system in accordance with NFPA 70, National Electrical Code.

• 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 specic home and/or wind conditions may require additional distance.

• 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.

• While operating and storing, keep at least ve 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 mufer and exhaust gases could be hot enough to cause serious burns and/or ignite combustible objects.

• 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.

• DO NOT touch the mufer or engine. They are very HOT and will cause severe burns. DO NOT put body parts or any ammable 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. FUEL SAFETY

• Store fuel in a container approved for gasoline.

• DO NOT smoke when lling the generator with gasoline.

• Wear eye protection while refueling.

• NEVER remove the fuel cap when the generator is running. Shut off the engine and allow the unit to cool at least two minutes. Remove the fuel cap slowly to release pressure, keep fuel from escaping around the cap, and to avoid the heat from the mufer igniting fuel vapors. Tighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.

• NEVER overll the fuel tank. Leave room for fuel to expand. Overlling the fuel tank can result in a sudden overow 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.

• DO NOT allow the generator’s gas tank to overow when lling.

• Store any containers containing gasoline or LPG/ propane in a well-ventilated area, away from any combustibles or source of ignition.

GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPOR

Fire and explosion hazard. Gasoline and LPG/propane are highly explosive and ammable and can cause severe burns or death.

• Gasoline is highly ammable and explosive.

• Gasoline can cause a re or explosion if ignited.

• Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up immediately if it comes in contact with the skin.

• Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential leaks quickly.

• In any petroleum gas re, ames should not be extinguished unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF. This is because if a re is extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF, then an explosion hazard could be created.

• Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures. Never ll the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs room to expand if temperatures rise.Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment | 7 SAFETY LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG/PROPANE) Fire and explosion hazard. NEVER use a gas container, LPG/propane connector hose, LPG/propane tank or any other fuel item that appears to be damaged. Fire and explosion hazard. Only use approved LPG/ propane tanks with an Overlling Prevention Device (OPD) valve. ALWAYS keep the tank in a vertical position with the valve on top and placed at ground level on a at surface. DO NOT allow tanks to be near any heat source. When transporting and storing, turn the propane tank valve to the fully closed position and disconnect the tank. Make sure to ALWAYS cover the generator inlet and tank outlet with protective plastic caps.

• LPG/Propane is highly ammable and explosive.

• Flammable gas under pressure can cause a re or explosion if ignited.

• LPG/Propane can settle in low places because it is heavier than air.

• LPG/Propane has a distinctive odor added to help detect potential leaks.

• ALWAYS keep a LPG/Propane tank in an upright position.

• When exchanging LPG/propane tanks, be sure the tank valve is the same type.

• In case of a LPG/propane re, DO NOT attempt to extinguish unless the fuel supply can be shut off safely.

• LPG/propane will burn the skin. Prevent skin contact at all times.

• Keep the propane tank away from the generator exhaust.

• Large (500 – 1000 gallon) LPG/propane tanks will require a certied plumber to install the fuel line to the generator and the loose regulator is not used (the regulator that is attached to the fuel tank). The pressure as measured at the regulator mounted to the generator must be 7” to 14” of water column. A certied plumber must ensure that the pressure is correct or install a step down regulator if needed. Fire and explosion hazard. If there is a strong smell of propane while operating the generator, fully close the LPG/propane tank valve immediately. Once the propane is off, use soapy water to check for leaks on the hose and connections on the tank valve and the generator. DO NOT smoke or light a cigarette or check for leaks using any open ame source such as a match or lighter. If a leak is found, contact a qualied technician to inspect and repair the LPG/propane system before using the generator. When starting the generator:

• Make sure that the fuel cap, air lter, 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 and LPG/propane tank are on a at surface before operating.

• If there is a propane odor DO NOT start the unit because there may be a potential leak. NEVER place a LPG/ propane tank near the engine exhaust. When transporting or servicing the generator:

• Make sure the LPG/propane tank and LPG/propane hose are not attached to the generator.

• Disconnect the spark boot to prevent accidental starting. When storing the generator:

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

2Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment | 9 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. 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. 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. ACTION LABEL

Color Description RED Unsafe levels of carbon monoxide ac- cumulated 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 genera- tor 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. 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 ash to provide notication that a fault has occurred. The YELLOW light will ash for at least ve minutes after a fault. The generator can be re-started, but may continue to shutoff. A CO sensor fault can only be diagnosed and repaired by an authorized Westinghouse service center. SAFETY10 | Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment COMPONENTS GENERATOR COMPONENTS

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 x 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.

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 Running Watts*

Highest Starting Watts* Total Running Watts 2590 Highest Starting Watts + 1600 Total Starting Watts Needed 4190 *Wattages listed are approximate. Verify actual wattage. OPERATIONWestinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment | 19 OPERATION 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 rst load, preferably the largest

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.

Miter Saw (10”) 1800 1800 Table Saw (10”) 2000 2000 *Wattages listed are approximate. Verify actual wattage. EXTENSION CORDS 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. 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. 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.20 | Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment

EXTENSION CORD SIZING

Only use grounded 3-prong extension cords marked for outdoor use that are rated for the electrical load. PARALLEL OPERATION Fire and electrocution hazard. Never connect or disconnect the parallel cord leads when a generator is running. 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 bulding. 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 the iGen4500DFc 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 the iGen4500DFc to a compatible Westinghouse Inverter Generator for combined running and peak power output. A Westinghouse parallel cord (purchased separately) is required for parallel operation. This cord can be purchased from an authorized Westinghouse Generator dealer. Note: Do not use ECO MODE when in parallel operation with another Westinghouse generator. Parallel cord (50A/6000 Watts): Part# 507PC Note: Compatible Westinghouse generators without parallel ports can be operated in parallel with the receptacle-mounted parallel cable, Part# 260041.

1. Make sure the RUN/STOP switch and the ECO MODE

switch are in the OFF position.

2. Connect the black and red parallel cable leads to the

black parallel ports on each corresponding generator control panel as shown below. Connect the black lead to the left port, the red lead to the right port. Note: DO NOT connect two red leads or two black leads into the same generator.

3. Connect the green ground lead to the ground terminal

on each generator and tighten the nut.

4. Start one of the generators and wait until the OUTPUT

READY LED illuminates.

5. Start the second generator and wait until the OUTPUT

READY LED illuminates before connecting a load.

6. Connect additional loads as described in Power

Management on page 18.

7. Unplug all loads before stopping the generators.

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 ow of fuel, which can prevent the engine from starting after a prolonged storage period. The use of fuel stabilizer signicantly 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 oat bowl. 6 months or longer Drain the fuel tank and carburetor oat bowl.

• Allow the generator to cool a minimum of 30 minutes before storage.

• If operating on LPG, turn the propane tank valve to the fully closed position and disconnect the LPG/propane hose from the generator and propane tank.

• 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 mufer cooling vents.

• Store the generator in a well-ventilated, dry location away from sparks, open ames, 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, gasoline, or propane tanks 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.

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 oat bowl to prevent gum and varnish buildup in the carburetor.26 | Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment MAINTENANCE

DRAINING THE FLOAT BOWL

1. Remove the engine service cover.

2. Locate the drain hose extending from the bottom of the

carburetor oat bowl.

3. Place the loose end of the hose outside the generator

into an approved gasoline container to catch the drained fuel.

drain. Tighten the oat bowl drain screw.

5. 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 lter

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 lter and the fuel tank cap.

4. Start the generator and allow it to run until the generator

5. Place the RUN/STOP switch in the OFF position.

6. Remove the spark plug.

7. 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.

8. Reinstall the spark plug. Leave the spark plug boot

disconnected to prevent accidental starting.

9. Install the engine service cover.

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