GROUNDING

See Figure 3.

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 has a bonded neutral. This means the generator neutral is connected to the frame of the generator, which also connects the ground terminal, metal non-current-carrying parts of the generator, and the ground terminals of each receptacle. The generator (stator winding) is thus bonded to the frame and the AC receptacle ground pin, enabling electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin connection to function properly.

This bonded neutral setup makes the generator suitable for various applications, including powering construction tools, RVs, and household appliances during outages. It can safely support devices that require a stable ground connection, such as sensitive electronics, power tools, refrigerators, and other essential appliances.

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

To test for LPG/Propane leaks:

  • Connect the LPG/propane hose to the natural gas/propane inlet on the generator and to the cylinder valve.
  • Open the cylinder valve. If there is a rushing sound, immediately turn off the cylinder valve. This sound indicates a significant leak at the connection. Replace the cylinder or have it repaired.
  • 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.

WESTINGHOUSE iGen11000TFc - IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE CO SENSOR - 1

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 feeling sick, dizzy, weak, or carbon monoxide detectors in the home indicate an alarm, get to fresh air immediately. Call emergency services. This may be carbon monoxide poisoning.

UNDERSTANDING THE CO SENSOR INDICATOR LIGHTS

See Figure 5.

COLOR DESCRIPTION
REDUnsafe levels of carbon mon-oxide 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.
YELLOWA 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.

GENERATOR CAPACITY

NOTICE

Do not overload the capacity of the preceding the wattage/amperage capacity of the generator and/or electrical devices.

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 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 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.

PARALLEL OPERATION

DANGER

Fire and electrocution hazard.

Never connect or disconnect the parallel cable leads when a generator is running. Failure to follow this rule may lead to serious personal injury or death.

WARNING

allele cables is very important, especially 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 may damage tools and appliances powered by the generator.

Parallel operation gives you the ability to link two compatible Westinghouse inverter generators for combined running and peak power output.

A parallel cord or receptacle-mounted parallel cable is needed for parallel operation. Compatible cables are sold separately. To order the parallel cord, P/N 507096, please go to parts.wpowereq.com..

Refer to the user manual included with your parallel cord or receptacle-mounted parallel cable for installation and operation instructions.

LOW OIL INDICATOR

The LOW OIL LED on the control panel will illuminate when the unit is low or out of oil. The generator will not start when the indicator is lit. To resume normal operation, add engine oil as described earlier in this section. Do not attempt to crank or start engine before it has been properly serviced with recommended oil.

ECO MODE

NOTICE

Always start the generator with the

ECO mode switch in the OFF position. Allow the engine speed to stabilize and the OUTPUT READY LED to illuminate before putting the ECO mode switch in the ON position.

NOTICE

Do not use ECO mode when in parallel

operation with another Westinghouse inverter 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, confirm that the OUTPUT READY LED is illuminated, 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.

OVERLOAD RESET

Do not overload the generator. If the generator is approaching or has reached an overload condition, the OVERLOAD LED on the control panel will illuminate.

If the generator is close to overloading, the OVERLOAD LED will blink. Turn off and remove one or more connected devices to decrease the load and resume normal operation. If the load is not reduced, the unit will reach an overload condition. To extend the service life of the generator, avoid running the unit near capacity.

If the generator is overloaded or if there is a short circuit in a connected device, the OVERLOAD LED will turn solid, and the unit will automatically disconnect from the load. The engine will continue to run, but there will not be any electrical output.

To restore electrical output after an overload:

  • Remove any connected loads from the control panel receptacles.
  • Push the RESET button on the control panel until the OVERLOAD LED goes OFF and the OUTPUT READY LED is illuminated.
  • Reset the circuit breaker(s) if activated.
  • Confirm that the intended running and surge loads do not exceed the capacity of the generator..
  • Reconnect electrical loads sequentially, allowing the generator to stabilize after each load is connected.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

The 20 amp circuit breaker protects devices and equipment connected to the 120V , 20 amp receptacles from electrical overload. The 30 amp circuit breaker protects devices and equipment connected to the 120V , 30 amp receptacles. If a circuit breaker activates, turn off the connected device,

remove it from the port or outlet, and press the circuit breaker to reset.

TRANSPORTING

  • Turn off 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 fixed handle 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.

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.
