Weather – Never operate your generator outdoors during
rain, snow or any combination of weather conditions that
could lead to moisture collecting on, in or around the
generator.
Dry Surface – Always operate the generator on a dry
surface free of any moisture.
No Connected Loads – Make sure the generator has no
connected loads before starting it. To ensure there are no
connected loads, unplug any electrical extension cords that
are plugged into the control panel receptacles.
NOTICE
Starting the generator with loads already applied
to it could result in damage to any appliance being
powered o the generator during the brief start-up
period.
Grounding the Generator – The National Electric Code
(NEC), as well as many local electrical codes, may require
the generator to be connected to earth ground before
operating. The most common application that requires
a ground rod is when you are using the generator as a
separately derived system to provide back up power to
your house. Typically this is when a transfer switch has a
switched neutral.
As the generator application has many variables that
cannot be determined by the manufacturer of the
generator, a licensed electrician will need to determine if a
grounding rod is needed.
If a licensed electrician has determine the application
requires a ground rod, make sure it is connected to earth
ground by connecting the ground terminal on the control
panel to earth ground using copper wire (minimum 10
AWG). Consult a qualied electrician for local grounding
requirements.
Neutral Bonded: There is a permanent conduct or between
the generator (stator winding) and the frame.
WARNING
Be sure the generator is properly
connected to earth ground before
operating. The generator must be
grounded to prevent electrical shock
due to faulty appliances.
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR,
REVIEW SAFETY SECTION STARTING
ON PAGE 5.
Location Selection – Before starting the generator,
avoid exhaust and location hazards by verifying:
• You have selected a location to operate the generator
that is outdoors and well ventilated.
• You have selected a location with a level and solid
surface on which to place the generator.
• You have selected a location that is at least 15 feet
(4.5 m) away from any building, other equipment or
combustible material.
• If the generator is located close to a building, make
sure it is not located near any windows, doors and/or
vents.
WARNING
Always operate the generator on a
level surface. Placing the generator
on non level surfaces can cause the
generator to tip over, causing fuel
and oil to spill. Spilled fuel can ignite
if it comes in contact with an ignition
source such as a very hot surface.
NOTICE
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
• Block air intake system
OPERATION
Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment | 13
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Engine power is reduced the higher you operate above
sea level. Output will be reduced approximately 3.5% for
every 1000ft of increased altitude from sea level. This is
a natural occurrence and cannot be adjusted by engine.
Increased exhaust emissions can also result due to
increased fuel mixture. Other issues include hard starting,
increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
Contact our service team 1-855-944-3571 for altitude part
kits. High Altitude Carburetor Kit Part Number: 140574
HOW TO GROUND THE GENERATOR
NOTICE
Grounding codes can vary by location. Please
contact a local electrician to check the grounding
regulations for your area.
1. Attach grounding wire to the ground on the control
panel and secure. A generally acceptable grounding
wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge)
stranded copper wire.
2. Connect the other end to a copper or brass
grounding rod that’s driven into the earth.
WARNING
Failure to properly ground the
generator can result in electrocution.
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
qualied electrician.
HOW TO FLOAT THE NEUTRAL
The Westinghouse generator is wired with the neutral
bonded to ground. If you are connecting your generator
to a panel board transfer switch, a licensed electrician will
need to consider removing the bonded neutral to ensure
proper operation of household GFCI circuits.
Begin by removing the alternator cover. Once the cover
is o, remove the (white) bonded ground jumper wire
by removing the two nuts that hold it in place. Once the
wire is removed, make sure to reattach the nuts without
removing any other wires that are underneath the jumper
wire. See picture below:
NOTICE
Make sure to keep the white ground jumper wire in case
you need to bond the neutral.
If the bonded neutral is removed the generator must be
relabeled as oating neutral on the control panel.
If your generator is equipped with GFCI receptacles,
removing the bonded neutral may not allow proper
operation of the GFCI receptacles.
14 | Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment
LIFTING BRACKET
1. Before lifting the generator, inspect the
bracket and make sure it is securely fastened
to the generator. Do not lift the generator
unless the lifting bracket is securely fastened.
2. Hook a chain or strap through the eye on the
lifting bracket and make sure it is securely
fastened.
3. Connect a suitable lifting device to the chain
or strap. Inspect chain and hook for any
damaged links or any defects that could
cause failure. It is recommended to use hooks
with safety latches installed.
4. Lift the generator slightly to ensure it is
lifting straight and level. Adjust the bracket if
required to allow it to lift correctly.
OPERATION
Do not lift anywhere
else than the eye on
the lifting bracket.

ADDING / CHECKING ENGINE
FLUIDS AND FUEL
BEFORE ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE
FLUIDS AND FUEL, REVIEW SAFETY
SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 5.
DANGER
Filling the fuel tank with gasoline while
the generator is running can cause
gasoline to leak and come in contact
with hot surfaces that can ignite the
gasoline.
Before starting the generator, always check the level of:
• Engine oil
• Gasoline in the fuel tank
Once the generator is started and the engine gets warm,
it is not safe to add gasoline to the fuel tank or engine oil
to the engine while the engine is running or the engine
and muer are hot.
CHECKING AND / OR ADDING ENGINE OIL
WARNING
Internal pressure can build in the engine
crankcase while the engine is running.
Removing the oil ll plug/ dipstick while
the engine is hot can cause extremely
hot oil to spray out of the crankcase and
can severely burn skin. Allow engine
oil to cool for several minutes before
removing the oil ll plug/dipstick.
The unit as shipped does not contain oil in the engine.
You must add engine oil before starting the generator
for the rst time. See Checking Engine Oil and Adding
Engine Oil for instructions on checking engine oil level
and the procedure for adding engine oil.
NOTICE
The engine does not contain engine oil as shipped.
Attempting to start the engine can damage engine
components. The owner of the generator is responsible
to ensure the proper oil level is maintained during the
operation of the generator. Failure to maintain the
proper oil level can result in engine damage.
OPERATION

OPERATION
POWER OUTPUT AND DEMAND
120/240-Volt AC devices have two dierent electric power demands that must be taken
into consideration, namely the running power and the starting/peak power. Both are
measured in Watts (typically abbreviated as “W”).
The steady state continuous load is the running power demand and this is often marked
on the device near its model number or serial number. Sometimes the device might only
be marked with its voltage (i.e. 120 V) and current draw (e.g. 6 Amp or 6 A), in which
case the running power demand in Watts can be obtained by multiplying the voltage
times the current, e.g. 120 V × 6 A = 720 W.
Simple resistive 120-Volt AC devices such as incandescent bulbs, toasters, heaters, etc.
have no extra power demand when starting, and so their starting power demands are
the same as their running power demands.
More complex 120/240-Volt AC devices containing inductive or capacitive elements
such as electric motors have a momentary extra power demand when starting, which
can be up to seven times the running power demand or more. Manufacturers of such
devices rarely publish this starting power demand and so it’s often necessary to
estimate it. A rule of thumb for devices tted with an electric motor is to apply a starting
power multiplier of 1.2 for small hand-held or portable devices and a value of 3.5 for
larger stationary devices. For example, a 900 W angle grinder can be assumed to have a
starting power demand of at least 1.2 × 900 W, which equals 1,080 W. Similarly, a 1,650
W air compressor can be assumed to have a starting power demand of at least 3.5 ×
1,650 W, which equals 5,775 W.
To prevent overloading of the generator’s 120-Volt AC system:
1. Add up the running power demand of all the 120/240-Volt AC devices that will be
connected to the generator at one time. This total must not be greater than the
generator’s specied running power output.
2. Add up the running power demand again, but for the largest motor-driven device
use the value of its starting power demand instead of its running power demand.
This total must not be greater than the generator’s specied starting power output.
3. The total running power demand of all the devices that will be connected to any one
of the generator’s outlets must not exceed the generator’s specied running power
output.

oil quality may interfere with the operation of the low oil
shutdown switch.
The owner of the generator is responsible to ensure the
proper oil level is maintained during the operation of the
generator. Failure to maintain the proper oil level can
result in engine damage.
This generator is equipped with an automatic choke for
starting. This system is always on and cannot be turned
o. Do not attempt to make adjustments to the automatic
choke or any other carburetor adjustments. Tampering
with the automatic choke system may void your warranty.

STORING GENERATOR
WARNING
Never store a generator with fuel in the tank
indoors or in a poorly ventilated area where the
fumes can come in contact with an ignition source
such as a: 1) pilot light of a stove, water heater,
clothes dryer or any other gas appliance; or 2)
spark from an electric appliance.
NOTICE
Gasoline stored for as little as 60 days can go bad, causing gum,
varnish and corrosive buildup in fuel lines, fuel passages and the
engine. This corrosive buildup restricts the ow of fuel, preventing
an engine from starting after a prolonged storage period.
Proper care should be taken to prepare the generator for
any storage.
1. Make sure the Engine Switch is switched to OFF so
the generator does not draw power from battery.
2. Clean the generator.
3. Drain all gasoline from the fuel tank as best as
possible.
4. With the fuel shut o valve open, start the engine
and allow the generator to run until all the remaining
gasoline in the fuel lines and carburetor is consumed
and the engine shuts o.
5. Close the fuel shut o valve.
6. Change the oil (see Changing Engine Oil).
7. Remove the spark plug (see Spark Plug Maintenance)
and place about 1 tablespoon of oil in the spark
plug opening. While placing a clean rag over the
spark plug opening, slowly pull there coil handle to
allow the engine to turn over several times. This will
distribute the oil and protect the cylinder wall from
corroding during storage.
8. Replace the spark plug (see Spark Plug Maintenance).
9. Move the generator to a clean, dry place for storage.
