SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPOR

DANGER

Fire and explosion hazard. Gas-

oline is highly explosive and flammable and can cause severe burns or death.

WARNING

Fire and Burn Hazard. NEVER

loosen or remove the fuel cap while the generator is running. Turn the unit off and allow it to cool for at least five minutes before adding gasoline. Loosen the fuel cap slowly.

WARNING

In case of a gasoline fire, do not the flame unless the fuel selec- FF position. Introducing an extin- or with an open fuel valve could hazard.

● Fire Hazard. Gasoline is highly flammable. Handle with care.
- Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.
● Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up immediately if it comes in contact with the skin.
- Do not store gasoline near furnaces, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.
- Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other sources of ignition.
- Store any containers containing gasoline in a well-ventilated area, away from any combustibles or source of ignition.
- ALWAYS store gasoline in a container approved for gasoline. Unapproved containers can break or deteriorate allowing gasoline or gasoline vapors to escape which can create a serious hazard.
● Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential leaks quickly.
● Gas vapors can cause a fire if ignited.
- Do not smoke when handling fuel, adding fuel to the generator, or emptying the gas tank.
● Wear eye protection while refueling.
- Before adding fuel to the generator, turn the unit off and allow it to cool a minimum of five minutes. If necessary, move the unit to level ground.
- Do not remove the fuel tank cap when the generator is running.
- Loosen the fuel cap slowly to safely release pressure, keep gasoline from escaping around the cap, and to avoid the heat from the muffler igniting fuel vapors.
- NEVER fill the generator's gasoline tank beyond the maximum fill ring on the fuel screen. Keeping gasoline levels at or below the fill ring will allow for fuel expansion. 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. Wipe up spills immediately and allow area to dry before operating the generator. NEVER attempt to burn off spilled fuel.
- Securely tighten the fuel cap after adding gasoline.
- Do not cover the fuel cap while the generator is in operation. Covering the cap may cause the engine to fail or damage the product.
- Drain fuel before storing the unit. Store the unit and the fuel separately in well-ventilated areas away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other sources of ignition.
- Turn the unit off and allow it to cool a minimum of 30 minutes before draining fuel.

LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG/PROPANE)

WARNING

Fire and explosion hazard. Never use a gas container, LPG/propane hose, propane cylinder or any other fuel item that appears to be damaged. If there is a strong smell of propane while operating the generator, fully close the propane cylinder 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 flame source such as a match or lighter. If a leak is found, contact a qualified technician to inspect and repair the LPG/propane system before using the generator.

CAUTION

Fire and explosion hazard. Only use approved Propane cylinders with an Overfilling Prevention Device (OPD) valve. Always keep the tank in a vertical position with the valve on top and placed at ground level on a flat surface. Do not allow tanks to be near any heat source. When transporting and storing, turn the propane cylinder 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 flammable and explosive.

- In case of a LPG/Propane 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.

- 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. If there is a smell, DO NOT use the engine.

● Always keep a propane cylinder in an upright position.

- When exchanging propane cylinders, be sure the tank valve is the same type.

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

- Keep the propane cylinder away from the generator exhaust.

- Large (500–1000 gallon) propane cylinders will require a certified 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 in. to 14 in. of water column. A certified plumber must ensure that the pressure is correct or install a step down regulator if needed.

● Make sure the generator and propane cylinder are on a flat surface before operating.

- If there is a propane odor do not start the unit because there may be a potential leak. Never place a propane cylinder near the engine exhaust.

• When transporting, make sure the propane cylinder and LPG/propane hose are not attached to the generator.
• Store propane cylinder away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other sources of ignition.
• Do not store propane cylinder near furnaces, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.

• Brush the inlet, hose connections, and LP gas cylinder with a soapy solution made of a 20/80 mixture of mild soap and water.

• If bubbles begin growing, there is a leak.

• If the leak is at the inlet, contact customer service. DO NOT USE THE GENERATOR.

• If the leak is at the hose connections, reinstall the hose securely and perform the check again. If the leaks persist, DO NOT USE THE GENERATOR.
• If the leak is at the cylinder, do not use or move the cylinder. Contact the fire department or the gas supplier.

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 flash notifying the user that there are unsafe levels of carbon monoxide.

If the generator shuts off and the RED indicator light flashes, 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 flashing 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 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 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 Westinghouse service center.

Review the Specifications 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:

• Choose the devices you want to power simultaneously.
• Record and total the running (continuous) watts of each device. The generator must continuously produce this amount of wattage to keep the devices running.
• Record the peak (starting) watts for each device. This is the momentary surge of power required to start electric motors in some tools and appliances.
• Select 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:

• Remove all loads and start the generator as described later in this manual.
• Connect and start the largest device or appliance. Power requirements are often listed on a device's data label or nameplate.
• Allow the generator output to stabilize. Once stable, the engine should run smoothly and the device should function properly.
• Connect and start the next largest device or appliance.
• Allow the generator output to stabilize.
• Repeat this process for each additional load.
