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, noties 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.
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.
CONTROL PANEL CO AUTO-SHUTOFF
CO SENSOR INDICATOR LIGHTS
Color Description
RED
Carbon monoxide accumulated around the
generator. After shut-off, the RED indicator
light in the CO Sensor area of the control
panel will ash to provide notication
that the generator was shut-off due to an
accumulating CO hazard. The RED light
will ash for at least ve minutes after a CO
shut-off.
Move the generator to an open, outdoor
area far away from occupied spaces with
exhaust pointed away. Once relocated to a
safe area, 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
notication that the 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

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 at, 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, at, 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 mufer. DO NOT contain generators during
operation.
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 conned spaces. Carefully consider wind
and air currents when positioning the generator.
GROUNDING
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 neutral is oating. 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 qualied
electrician, electrical inspector, or local agency having
jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the
intended use of the generator.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
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 2,000 ft. (762 m). Operation without this
adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased
fuel consumption, and increased emissions.
NOTICE
DO NOT operate the generator at altitudes below 2,000 ft.
(762 m) with the high altitude kit installed. Engine damage
may occur.

3. Push the engine control switch to the Stop position.
START
RUN
STOP
Note: Alternately, if the generator is used infrequently, turn
the fuel tank valve to the OFF position to limit the
residual fuel remaining in the carburetor oat bowl.
The engine will stop when fuel in the carburetor and
fuel line is exhausted.
4. Turn the fuel tank valve to the OFF position.
FREQUENCY OF USE
If the generator will be used on an infrequent or intermittent
basis (more than one month before next use), refer to the
Storage section of this manual for information regarding
fuel deterioration.
AC CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The circuit breakers will automatically switch OFF if there
is a short circuit or a signicant overload of the generator
at each receptacle.
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.
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.

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
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.

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.
EXTENSION CORD SIZING
Only use grounded 3-prong extension cords marked for
outdoor use that are rated for the electrical load.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
The 12V 1.2 AH Lithium Ion battery shipped with the
generator has been fully charged. A battery may lose some
charge when not in use for prolonged periods of time.
Note: Once started, the generator will charge the battery
after 30 minutes of use.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Keep battery terminals covered at all times. The
generator is shipped with a lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery.
Exposed metal positive and negative terminals can
short-circuit when they come into contact with metal
objects, igniting the cell’s internal materials and forcibly
expelling burning contents, resulting in res, explosions,
serious injuries and even death.
1. Loosen and remove the bolts securing the battery hold-
down plate and remove the plate.
2. Disconnect the quick-connect plugs and remove the
battery from the unit.

6. Install the battery into the generator. Reinstall the battery
hold-down plate and tighten the bolts.
7. Connect the quick-connect plug.
NOTICE
Dispose of the used battery properly according to the
guidelines established by your local or state government.
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 ow of fuel, which can prevent the engine
from starting after a prolonged storage period. The use
of fuel stabilizer signicantly 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.
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 mufer 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, or gasoline 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 oat bowl to prevent gum and varnish
buildup in the carburetor.

DRAINING THE FLOAT BOWL
1. Turn the fuel tank valve to the OFF position.
2. Locate the drain screw on the bottom of the carburetor
oat bowl.
3. Place an appropriate gasoline container under the drain
screw to catch the drained fuel.
4. Loosen the oat bowl drain screw and allow the fuel to
drain. Tighten the oat bowl drain screw.
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
engine stops.
5. Push the Run/Stop switch to the Stop 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.
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
