This table is intended for reference only. The results produced by using this table are not guaranteed to be correct or applicable in all situations as the type and construction of cords are highly variable.
OPERATION CONNECTING THE GENERATOR TO A BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM It is recommended to use a manual transfer switch when connecting directly to a buildings electrical system. Connecting a portable generator to a buildings electrical system must be made in strict compliance with all national and local electrical codes and laws, and be completed by a qualified electrician. TRANSFER SWITCH CONNECTIONS The Westinghouse generator is wired with the neutral bonded to ground.
OPERATION ADDING GASOLINE TO THE FUEL TANK BEFORE ADDING GAS TO THE TANK PLEASE REVIEW FUEL SAFETY SECTION ON PAGE 9 WARNING Never refuel the generator while the engine is running. Always turn the engine off and allow the generator to cool before refueling.
OPERATION CONNECTING TO LARGE LPG/PROPANE TANK BEFORE CONNECTING PROPANE TANK TO THE GENERATOR PLEASE REVIEW FUEL SAFETY SECTION ON PAGE 9 You can hook up you Duel Fuel Generator to a large home LP tank. It is required that you consult a plumber to properly connect your generator to the tank. To properly connect with a large propane tank you must first check and confirm the LP fuel pressure at the outlet of the LP tank.
OPERATION PROGRAMMING THE GENERATOR FOR REMOTE START NOTICE The key fob included with the generator should come already paired with the unit. If it does not you can follow the directions below to reconnect. If your unit was shipped without a key fob please contact our customer support team. WARNING Always make sure the area around the generator is clear of bystanders before using the remote start to start the generator.
OPERATION ELECTRIC START Be sure to check oil levels before starting. If it is the first time starting make sure to add oil (see Adding Engine Oil page 26). 1. Make sure nothing is plugged into power outlets 2. Verify the battery is properly installed and both battery cables are attached (see Connecting the Battery on page 12). 3. Make sure the circuit breakers are properly set (see Figure 8). Figure 10 - Fuel Selector - PROPANE Propane Tank Valve - OPEN 5.
OPERATION MANUALLY STARTING THE GENERATOR STOPPING THE GENERATOR 1. Make sure nothing is plugged into power outlets 1. Remove any connected loads from the control panel receptacles. Be sure to check oil levels before starting. If it is the first time starting make sure to add oil (see Adding Engine Oil page 26). 2. Make sure the circuit breakers are properly set (see Figure 8). 4. Select fuel source (see Step 4 on page 22) 5. Push the engine control switch into the RUN position (see Figure 11). 6.
MAINTENANCE BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON THE GENERATOR, REVIEW THE SAFETY SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 5, AS WELL AS THE FOLLOWING SAFETY MESSAGES. WARNING Avoid accidentally starting the generator during maintenance by removing the spark plug boot from the spark plug. For electric start generators, also disconnect the battery cables from the battery (disconnect the black negative (-) cable first) and place the cables away from the battery posts to avoid arcing.
MAINTENANCE TABLE 2: MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE - AUTHORIZED WESTINGHOUSE SERVICE DEALER PERFORMED Before Every Use After First 20 Hours or First Month of Use Valve Clearance - - - - Check/Adjust Fuel Filter - - - Check/Clean - Idle Speed - - - - Check/Adjust Maintenance Item CLEANING THE SPARK ARRESTOR WARNING Hot Surfaces. When operating machine, do not touch hot surfaces. Keep machine away from combustibles during use. Hot surfaces could result in severe burns or fire.
MAINTENANCE ENGINE OIL MAINTENANCE Engine Oil Specification 1. Only use the engine oil specified in Figure 17. 2. Only use 4-stroke/cycle engine oil. NEVER USE 2-STROKE/CYCLE OIL. Synthetic oil is an acceptable substitute for conventional oil. 6. Check oil level: When checking the engine oil, remove the oil fill plug/dipstick and wipe it clean. Thread the oil fill plug/dipstick all the way back in and then remove and check the oil level on the oil fill plug/ dipstick.
MAINTENANCE CHANGING ENGINE OIL 1. Always operate or maintain the generator on a flat surface. 2. Stop the engine. 3. Let engine sit and cool for several minutes (allow crankcase pressure to equalize). 4. Place oil pan (or suitable container) under the oil drain plug (see Figure 20). 5. With a damp rag, thoroughly clean around the oil drain plug. 6. Remove the oil drain plug (see Figure 20). Once removed, place the oil drain plug on a clean surface.
MAINTENANCE Cleaning the Air Filter - Continued from Page 27 NOTICE Never dispose of soap cleaning solution used to clean the air filter by dumping the solution into a sewer, on the ground, or into ground water or waterways. Always be environmentally responsible. Follow the guidelines of the EPA or other governmental agencies for proper disposal of hazardous materials. Consult local authorities or reclamation facility. Figure 23 - Remove Spark Plug Boot 7. Dispose of used soap cleaning solution properly.
MAINTENANCE CHECKING AND ADJUSTING VALVE LASH CAUTION Checking and adjusting valve lash 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) of the compression stroke. Looking through the spark plug hole, the piston should be at the top. 4.
MAINTENANCE BATTERY REPLACEMENT 1. Remove the spark plug wire from spark plug. General Cleaning of the Generator – Use a damp rag to clean all remaining surfaces. 2. Loosen and remove the bolt on the battery holddown plate and swing the plate out. STORING GENERATOR 3. Tip the battery forward slightly to access battery cables. 4. Disconnect the black negative (-) battery cable from the battery first. 5. Disconnect the red positive (+) battery cable second and remove the battery.
TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING Before attempting to service or troubleshoot the generator, the owner or service technician must first read the owner’s manual and understand and follow all safety instructions. Failure to follow all instructions may result in conditions that can lead to voiding of the EPA certification or product warranty, serious personal injury, property damage or even death. PROBLEM Engine is running, but no electrical output POTENTIAL CAUSE SOLUTION 1. Circuit breakers are tripped. 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POTENTIAL CAUSE SOLUTION 1. Dirty air filter 1. Clean the air filter. Engine runs erratic; does not hold a steady RPM. 2. Applied loads maybe cycling on and off 2. As applied loads cycle, changes in engine speed may occur; this is a normal condition. 3. If trying 1-3 above does not solve the problem, the cause might be a fault in the generator 3. Take the generator to your nearest authorized service dealer.
