Frequently Asked Questions - iGen5000c WESTINGHOUSE

What type of oil should I use for the engine?
Use 10W-30 engine oil for normal use. In extreme conditions, refer to the table in the manual (5W-30 synthetic for cold weather, 10W-40 for hot weather).
What gasoline should I use?
Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 to 93, containing a maximum of 10% ethanol. Never use E15 or E85.
How do I start the generator?
Make sure the tank has fuel, the fuel valve is ON, the battery switch is ON, and all loads are disconnected. You can start by pulling the recoil handle, pressing the push-button (hold 2 seconds), or using the remote (key fob, within 30 m).
What should I do if the overload indicator lights up?
Disconnect all loads, press the RESET button until the OVERLOAD indicator turns off and the OUTPUT READY indicator turns on. Reduce connected loads to not exceed the generator's capacity.
Can I use the generator indoors?
No, never. The exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly poison. Always use the generator outdoors, away from doors, windows, and vents.
How do I maintain the air filter?
Clean the foam air filter every 50 hours or every 6 months. Wash it with detergent and water, rinse, dry, then saturate with clean engine oil and squeeze out excess.
What is the fuel tank capacity?
The tank holds 8.4 US gallons (12.8 liters) of gasoline. Do not fill above the red ring in the filter.
How do I connect two generators in parallel?
Use a Westinghouse parallel cord (part #507PC). Ensure both generators are off, connect the black and red wires to the corresponding ports, link the ground terminals, then start the generators one at a time. Do not use ECO mode in parallel.
What to do if the engine won't start?
Check the fuel level, oil level, spark plug condition (dry or wet), battery switch, and fuel valve. If the spark plug is wet (flooded engine), wait 5 minutes, turn the battery switch to OFF and pull the recoil several times.
How to store the generator for a long period?
Drain the fuel tank and the carburetor float bowl, or add a fuel stabilizer. Change the oil, clean the air filter, remove the spark plug and pour a teaspoon of oil into the cylinder, then reinstall the spark plug without connecting the wire. Store in a dry, ventilated area.

NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open.

WESTINGHOUSE iGen5000c - DANGER - 2
Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents.

DANGER

Fire and electrocution hazard. Do not connect to a building's electrical system unless the generator and transfer switch have been properly installed and the electrical output has been verified by a qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.

DANGER

Electrocution hazard. Never use the generator in a location that is wet or damp. Never expose the generator to rain, snow, water spray, or standing water while in use. Protect the generator from all hazardous weather conditions. Moisture or ice can cause a short circuit or other malfunction in the electrical circuit.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

  • Never use the generator to power medical support equipment.
  • 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 3 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.

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 or LPG/propane in a well-ventilated area, away from any combustibles or source of ignition.

Fire and explosion hazard. Gasoline and LPG/propane are 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 valve is in the gas position. Introducing an extinguisher to a generator with an open fuel valve 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.

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.

NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open.

WESTINGHOUSE iGen5000c - DANGER - 2

Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents.

NEVER operate the generator inside any building, including garages, basements, crawlspaces, sheds, enclosure, or compartment, including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle.

▲ DANGER

Electrocution hazard. Never use the generator in a location that is wet or damp. Never expose the generator to rain, snow, water spray, or standing water while in use. Protect the generator from all hazardous weather conditions. Moisture or ice can cause a short circuit or other malfunction in the electrical circuit. Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could result in electrocution

WARNING

Fire hazard. 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 or the air intake system. Allow the generator to cool for 30 minutes before transport or storage.

The generator should be on a flat, level surface at all times (Even while not in operation). The generator must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from all combustible material.

Do not operate the generator in the back of a SUV, camper, trailer, truck bed (regular, flat, or otherwise), under stairs, next to walls or buildings, or in any other location that will not allow for adequate cooling of the generator and/or the muffler. DO NOT contain generators during operation.

DANGER

Asphyxiation hazard. Place the generator in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT place the generator near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces. Carefully consider wind and air currents when positioning generator.

OPERATION

GROUNDING

▲ WARNING

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

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.

NOTICE

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

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 5,000 ft. (1524 m). Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions. Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,000 ft. (762 m) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.

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 COMBUSTIBLE EFICIENTE COMMUTATEUR D'ÉCONOMIE
WESTINGHOUSE iGen5000c - NOTICE - 1

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.

ON OFF Push to Reset

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.

  1. 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 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.

*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.

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 monthsFill with fresh gasoline and add gasoline stabilizer. Drain the carburetor float bowl.
6 months or longerDrain 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, 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.

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.

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. Push the battery switch to the OFF position.
  6. Disconnect the battery quick-connect plug.
  7. Remove the spark plug.

  8. 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.

  9. Reinstall the spark plug. Leave the spark plug boot disconnected to prevent accidental starting.
  10. 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.

  1. Install the gasket, rocker arm cover, and spark plug.

MANUALLY SET THE CHOKE

If the battery is dead or disconnected, you may need to set the choke by hand for proper operation.

  1. Remove the engine service cover.

  2. Locate the small black choke lever on top of the carburetor.

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 5,000 ft. (1524 m). Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions. Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,000 ft. (762 m) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.

Total Starting Watts Needed 2180
