OPERATION

BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR

Location Selection – Before starting the generator,

avoid exhaust and location hazards by verifying that:

• 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 1.8 m

away from any building, other equipment or

combustible material.

• If the generator is located close to a building, it is

not located near any windows, doors or vents.

The output of this generating set is potentially

lethal. The set should not be connected to a xed

electrical installation except by an appropriately

licensed person.

DANGER

Using a generator indoors can kill you in minutes.

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide.

This is a poison you cannot see or smell.

Never use inside a home

or garage, even if doors

and windows are open.

Only use outside and

far away from windows,

doors and vents.

WARNING

Always operate the generator on a

level surface. Placing the generator

on a non-level surface can cause the

generator to tip over, causing fuel

and oil to spill. Spilt fuel can ignite if

it comes into 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

NOTICE

Ensure that the generator is always kept

horizontal during handling, operation, storage

and transport. Flipping the generator over onto its

side, end or top will damage it.

Weather – Never operate or store 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 or store the generator

on a dry surface free of any moisture.

No Connected Loads – It is recommended that the

generator has no connected loads before starting

to prevent the unintended operation of any such

connected devices; this might not be practicable in

all applications. To ensure there are no connected

loads, either unplug any electrical cords or devices

from the 240-Volt AC or 12-Volt DC accessory

receptacles on the control panel or check that they

are switched off.

Extensions Cords – Locate the generator in a

convenient place, avoiding long extension cords

and possible damage to them by pedestrians or

vehicles.

Earthing the Generator – The generator’s

equipotential bonding system including the

frame terminal on the control panel should not be

connected to the general mass of earth through

a separate earth electrode. For more information,

refer to AS/NZS 3010:2017 Electrical Installations –

Generating Sets or consult a licensed electrician.

WARNING

Be sure the generator is properly

installed to reduce the possibility of

electric shock. Any connection to

an electrical installation such as in a

building, for example, must be carried

out by a licensed electrician.

CHECKING OR ADDING ENGINE OIL

AND FUEL

DANGER

Filling the fuel tank with fuel while the

generator is running can cause fuel

to spill and come in contact with hot

surfaces that can ignite the fuel.

Before starting the generator, always check the

engine oil and fuel levels.

After starting the generator, it is not safe to add fuel

to the fuel tank or engine oil to the engine while

the engine is running or immediately after stopping

while the engine and mufﬂer are still hot.

OPERATION

Checking and Adding Engine Oil

WARNING

Internal pressure can build up in the

engine crankcase while the engine

is running. Removing the oil ﬁll plug

while the engine is hot can cause hot

oil to spray out of the crankcase and

cause severe skin burns. Allow engine

oil to cool for several minutes before

removing the oil ﬁll plug.

The generator as shipped does not contain oil in the

engine. You must add engine oil before starting the

generator for the ﬁrst 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 generator does not contain engine oil as

shipped. Attempting to start the engine before

adding engine oil can permanently damage

internal engine components.

Checking and Adding Fuel

WARNING

Never refuel the generator while the

engine is running.

Always turn the engine off and allow

the generator to cool before refuelling.

With the generator switched off and stationary on

a horizontal surface, check the fuel level in the tank

visually by removing the fuel cap. It is good practice

to always ﬁll the fuel tank before operating the

generator.

Required Fuel – Use only unleaded petrol with

an octane rating not less than 91 and ethanol

content not greater than 10%. Where possible, it is

preferable to use regular or Opal unleaded petrol

(RON 91) or premium unleaded petrol (RON 95 or 98)

and not an ethanol blend such as E10.

Filling the Fuel Tank – Follow the steps below to ﬁll

the fuel tank:

1. Stop the generator, if running.

Allow the generator to cool down until the

mufﬂer access cover is cool to the touch.

3. Move the generator to a ﬂat surface.

Clean area around the fuel cap.

Turn the fuel cap vent clockwise to the ON

position.

Remove the fuel cap by unscrewing it anti-

clockwise.

Slowly add fuel into the fuel tank. Be careful not

to overﬁll the tank. The fuel level should NOT be

higher than the red ring inside the fuel strainer

(see Figure 5).

Replace the fuel cap by screwing it on clockwise

and turn the fuel cap vent anti-clockwise to the

OFF position.

CAUTION

Avoid prolonged skin contact with

fuel. Avoid prolonged inhalation of

fuel vapours.

NOTICE

Do not overﬁll the fuel tank. Spilt fuel may damage

some plastic parts.

OPERATION

DANGER

Never use the generator in a location

that is wet or damp. Never expose the

generator to rain, snow, water spray

or standing water while in use. Protect

the generator from all hazardous

weather conditions. Moisture or ice

can cause a short circuit or other

malfunction in the electrical system.

Never operate the generator in

an enclosed area. Engine exhaust

contains carbon monoxide. Only

operate the generator outside and

away from windows, doors and vents.

NOTICE

The generator is equipped with a low oil shutdown

switch. If the oil level becomes too low, the engine

will shut down automatically and cannot be

restarted until the oil is ﬁlled to the proper level.

Be sure the engine has the proper oil level before

using. Failure to verify that the engine has the

proper oil level could result in severe engine

damage or shorten the engine life.

Disconnect or switch off all loads from the

generator before starting. Failure to verify all loads

are disconnected prior to starting the generator

could result in damage to the connected electrical

devices.

The primary touch points that the user needs

to interact with when starting the generator are

identiﬁed with yellow coloured markings.

1. Turn the fuel cap vent to the ON position

(see Figure 6).

2. Turn the engine control switch anti-clockwise to

Figure 7). To restart a warm engine, turn the knob

to the ON position.

3. While holding the generator down with one

hand, ﬁrmly grasp the recoil starter handle with

your other hand and pull it slowly until you feel

increased resistance. At this point, pull it briskly

up and away from the generator (see Figure 8).

Do not allow the starter handle to snap back

against the engine, but instead return it gently to

prevent starter damage. Do not allow the starter

cord to rub against other parts of the generator.

4. As the engine starts running and warms up, turn

the engine control switch clockwise to the ON

position.

5. Connect electrical cords or devices into the

240-Volt AC or 12-Volt DC accessory outlets, as

required.

CHOKE Position

Figure 6 – Fuel Cap Vent in the ON Position

OPERATION

ECO THROTTLE CONTROL

The generator is equipped with ECO Throttle Control

to minimise fuel consumption and noise. In ECO

mode, the generator senses the electrical load

demand and adjusts the engine speed and power

output to match it; if there is no electrical load

connected, the engine speed drops down to idle.

ECO mode should only be used once the generator

has reached normal operating temperature after

running for at least ﬁve minutes. When starting

large inductive loads such as an air conditioner or

pump, ECO mode should be switched off so that

the engine speed will be kept higher for maximum

electrical starting power availability.

To activate ECO mode, move the ECO throttle

switch to the ON position (see Figure 9).

To deactivate ECO mode, move the ECO throttle

switch to the OFF position.

OVERLOAD RESET

An electrical overload or short circuit will trip the

overload protection system by disconnecting the

generator’s AC output even though the engine is still

running. If this occurs, the overload alarm light will

be illuminated red and the output indicator light will

be off. The AC output can be restored as follows:

Turn off or unplug any electrical devices or cords

from the 240-Volt AC or 12-Volt DC accessory

receptacles on the control panel.

2. Press the generator reset button on the control

panel until the overload alarm light goes off and

the output indicator light is illuminated green.

3. Check that the intended electrical running and

starting loads do not exceed the generator’s

capacity or have a licensed electrician rectify any

fault causing a short circuit in the load.

4. Reconnect any electrical devices or cords to the

receptacles on the control panel and then turn on

the electrical loads as required.

STOPPING THE GENERATOR

Normal Operation

During normal operation, use the following steps to

stop the generator:

Turn off or unplug any electrical cords or devices

from the 240-Volt AC or 12-Volt DC accessory

receptacles on the control panel, if practicable.

2. Allow the generator to run unloaded for at least

one minute to cool and stabilise the engine and

alternator temperatures.

3. Turn the engine control switch clockwise to the

OFF position.

4. Turn the fuel cap vent anti-clockwise to the

OFF position.

During an Emergency

If there is an emergency and the generator must

be stopped quickly, follow the procedure in Step 3

above with haste.

APPLICATION AND DUTY CYCLE

All models within the iGen range of Westinghouse

generators are portable, air-cooled, petrol-

engine driven, self-contained units designed for

independent supply of electrical power. They are

ideal as a backup power supply in the event of

mains power failure or as a remote area power

supply for use when camping, caravanning or

working out in the ﬁeld.

For most common applications, users can connect a

Westinghouse generator to power electrical devices

by detachable plug and socket-outlet connection as

described in this manual.

Westinghouse generators can also be connected

to a ﬁxed electrical installation such as in a house

or business premises, for example, by a licensed

electrician.

AMBIENT CONDITIONS

The generator is designed to operate within the

following range of ambient conditions:

• Temperature:

-5 to +40°C

• Altitude: Up to 1,000 m

Where possible, the generator should be operated

in the shade to prevent additional heat load due to

solar radiation.

The engine’s power output will decrease by

approximately 3.5% for each 300 m increase in

altitude above sea level. This is normal for spark-

ignition engines and is attributable to the decrease

Figure 9 – ECO Throttle Switch in the ON Position

OPERATION

in atmospheric pressure (and thus the available air

for combustion) as altitude increases.

CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS

The generator can be used to power 240-Volt AC,

50 Hz, single phase or 12-Volt DC electrical devices.

Maintain normal safety precautions with appliances

and accessories as for use when connected to the

mains power supply.

240-Volt AC Loads

240-Volt AC devices can be connected either

directly or via electrical extension cords into the

240-Volt AC outlet(s) on the generator’s control

panel. Lift up the spring-loaded weather resistant

cover on each outlet for access to connect the

electrical device or cord.

240-Volt AC devices may be ﬁtted with either a

three-pin 15 Ampere (typically abbreviated “15 Amp”

or “15 A”) plug or a three-pin 10 Ampere (“10 Amp”

or “10 A”) plug as shown in Figure 10. Certain

double-insulated devices may be ﬁtted with a two-

pin 10 A plug that doesn’t have an earth pin (which

is the longer, vertical pin).

A -

15 Ampere B - 10 Ampere

Figure 10 – 240-Volt AC Three-Pin Plugs

NOTICE

DO NOT connect any 240-Volt AC device that is

ﬁtted with a three-pin 20 A plug. This can overload

the generator.

See 240-Volt AC Extension Cords for detailed

instructions concerning their selection and use.

12-Volt DC Loads

12-Volt DC devices can be connected either directly

or via an electrical extension cord not exceeding

3.5 m in length into the 12-Volt DC outlet on the

generator’s control panel. Pull out the weather

resistant stopper on the outlet for access to connect

the electrical accessory or cord, and re-insert it after

use.

12-Volt DC devices or extension cords must be

ﬁtted with a cigarette lighter plug for connection to

the generator as shown in Figure 11.

Figure 11 – 12-Volt DC Cigarette Lighter Plug

Power Output and Demand

There are two limits to the amount of electric power

that the generator can usefully provide: (a) its total

240-Volt AC or 12-Volt DC electric power generating

capacity or power output and (b) the electric current

or power output capacity of each individual 240-Volt

AC outlet.

The generator’s total power output measured in

Watts is listed in the Speciﬁcations. Two 240-Volt

AC power outputs are speciﬁed for the generator,

namely the running power and the starting power.

The 12-Volt DC power output is also speciﬁed

NOTICE

DO NOT overload the generator’s 240-Volt AC or

12-Volt DC circuits beyond their rated capacities.

This can result in damage to the generator or to

the connected devices.

The generator should not be run completely

unloaded for extended periods otherwise the engine

may be damaged. It is recommended that the

generator should always be operated with at least

one-third of its rated 240-Volt AC power output.

240-Volt AC devices have two different electric

power demands that must be taken into

consideration, namely the running power and the

starting 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. 240 Volt or 240 V) and current draw

(e.g. 6 Ampere or 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. 240 V

× 6 A = 1,440 W.

Simple resistive 240-Volt AC devices such as

incandescent bulbs, toasters and heaters have no

OPERATION

extra power demand when starting, and so their

starting power demands are the same as their

running power demands.

More complex 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 ﬁtted 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 240-Volt

AC system:

1. Add up the running power demand of all the

240-Volt AC devices that will be connected to

the generator at one time. This total must not be

greater than the generator’s speciﬁed running

power output.

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 speciﬁed starting power

output.

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 speciﬁed running power output or

3,600 W, whichever is the lesser.

The above guidelines serve as approximations

only of determining the running and starting power

demands of 240-Volt AC devices. If in doubt, always

err on the conservative side to avoid overloading

the generator. In the absence of any power demand

information whatsoever, one can assume that any

device ﬁtted with a standard domestic 10 A plug has

a maximum running power demand of up to 2,400 W

(i.e. 240 V x 10 A = 2,400 W). Similarly, a device

ﬁtted with a heavy duty 15 A plug can be assumed

to have a maximum running power demand of up to

3,600 W (i.e. 240 V x 15 A = 3,600 W). And then apply

the appropriate multiplying factor for starting power

demand if the device has an electric motor.

There are large variations in the performance of

different makes and models of electrical devices

and the manufacturer’s speciﬁcations are often

inaccurate or misleading. It is recommended that

the generator and powered device(s) be trialled to

ensure that the combination performs satisfactorily.

240-VOLT AC EXTENSION CORDS

Wherever possible, it is recommended to connect

240-Volt AC devices directly to the generator’s 240-

Volt AC outlet(s). This ensures that the device is

supplied with the best quality electricity.

In those instances where it’s not practicable or

safe to directly plug an electrical device into the

generator, the use of an electrical extension cord is

necessary.

1. Locate the generator in a convenient place,

avoiding long extension cards and possible

damage to them by pedestrian or vehicular

trafﬁc.

Use only the shortest possible extension

cord for the task. Voltage drop increases

proportionately with the length of an extension

cord and may result in damage to the powered

device.

Use only a single extension cord and not

multiple cords joined together. This will minimise

voltage drop and prevent any hazard or

inconvenience arising from the joint(s) becoming

disconnected.

Use only extra heavy duty 15 A extension cords

made from 3-core cable of at least 1.5 mm

conductor size and ﬁtted with 15 A plugs and

sockets (see Figure 10). A 15 A plug cannot be

inserted into a standard domestic 10 A socket.

Extension cords with conductor size of 1.5mm

or 2.5 mm

should not exceed 25 m or 40m

in length, respectively, for general use in

accordance with AS/NZS 3199:2020.

NOTICE

DO NOT use extension cords with only 2-pin

(active and neutral) plugs and sockets. These

extension cords lack the earth connection that

is provided by a 3-pin plug and socket joined

with a 3-core cable; the vertical pin is the earth

connection.

6. DO NOT use extension cords with any visible

signs of damage to the plug, socket or cable.

DO NOT use extension cords that are rolled up

or knotted as they may overheat.

Check the continuity of the extension cord’s

earthing core periodically from pin to socket for

assured electrical safety.

OPERATION

12 VOLT BATTERY CHARGING

There are two methods by which the generator can

be used to charge an external 12 Volt battery:

1. By direct connection to the generator’s 12-Volt

DC electrical outlet; or

By using a mains-powered 12 Volt battery

charger connected to one of the generator’s

240-Volt AC outlets.

Never use either of these methods to charge the

generator’s own 12 Volt battery, if equipped.

DANGER

Wet cell batteries produce explosive

hydrogen gas while charging. If ignited,

the hydrogen gas mixture can explode

the battery and cause serious injury

or blindness. Only charge a battery in

a well-ventilated area away from any

sources of ignition such as sparks,

open ﬂames, matches, cigarettes, CB

radios and mobile phones.

The electrolyte ﬂuid inside a battery

contains highly corrosive sulphuric

acid, which upon contact with the

skin or eyes can cause severe burns

or blindness. Always wear protective

glasses and clothing – including gloves

– when working on a battery. Any

electrolyte spill should be thoroughly

ﬂushed clean with water.

Battery Charging by Direct Connection

This method is not recommended and should only

be used in an emergency. The generator’s 12-Volt

DC electrical output is unregulated and may damage

the battery due to overcharging.

Tools required: 12 V DC, 10 A minimum battery

charging cable with cigarette lighter plug for

connection to the generator and alligator clips (both

positive and negative) for connection to the battery.

1. Prepare the battery for charging if it is a user-

maintainable type by removing the vent caps

and adding demineralised or distilled water until

the electrolyte level is just above the internal

battery plates. This may not be possible with a

maintenance-free battery.

Connect the positive (+) alligator clip (red) to the

positive (+) terminal on the battery.

Connect the negative (-) alligator clip (black) to

the negative (-) terminal on the battery.

Start the generator.

5. Insert the cigarette lighter plug into the

generator’s 12-Volt DC accessory socket. The

battery is now charging. Keep the battery as far

away as possible from the generator due to the

explosive gas hazard.

Monitor the battery; stop charging if the battery

gets hot to the touch and the electrolyte boils

violently.

Variables such as battery size and initial state

of charge make it impossible to deﬁnitively

recommend the charging period. Some batteries

have a state of charge indicator that can be

visually checked. Otherwise a voltmeter or

hydrometer is necessary to accurately determine

the battery’s condition. A fully charged battery

will have an open circuit voltage of at least

12.6 V and an electrolyte speciﬁc gravity of

at least 1.265. In the absence of any state

of charge tools, stop the charging after

approximately three hours and check whether

the battery is capable of powering the required

application, e.g. to start a car’s engine.

Remove the cigarette lighter plug from the

generator’s 12-Volt DC accessory socket.

Stop the generator unless it’s being used to

power some other 240-Volt AC device(s).

10.

Disconnect the negative (-) alligator clip (black)

from the negative (-) terminal on the battery.

11.

Disconnect the positive (+) alligator clip (red)

from the positive (+) terminal on the battery.

12.

Reﬁt the battery’s vent caps, if applicable. The

battery can now be used.

Battery Charging by a Mains-Powered

Charger

This method is recommended. Using a proprietary

mains-powered 12 Volt battery charger will ensure

that the battery is optimally charged and without

risk of damage due to overcharging.

Tools required – 240-Volt AC powered 12 V DC

battery charger.

1. Prepare the battery for charging if it is a user-

maintainable type by removing the vent caps

and adding demineralised or distilled water until

the electrolyte level is just above the internal

battery plates. This may not be possible with a

maintenance-free battery.

Connect the battery charger’s positive (+)

alligator clip or terminal clamp (red) to the

positive (+) terminal on the battery.

Connect the battery charger’s negative (-)

alligator clip or terminal clamp (black) to the

negative (-) terminal on the battery.

4. Start the generator.

OPERATION

5. Make any necessary pre-charging adjustments

or settings on the battery charger in accordance

with its operating instructions.

Insert the battery charger’s power supply plug

into one of the generator’s 240-Volt AC outlet

sockets and then switch the battery charger ON.

The battery is now charging. Keep the battery as

far away as possible from the generator due to

the explosive gas hazard.

Monitor the battery; stop charging if the battery

gets hot to the touch and the electrolyte boils

violently.

Monitor the battery charger in accordance with

its operating instructions and switch it off when

indicated to do so.

Switch the battery charger OFF and unplug its

power supply cord from the generator.

10.

Stop the generator unless it’s being used to

power some other 240-Volt AC device(s).

11.

Disconnect the battery charger’s negative (-)

alligator clip or terminal clamp (black) from the

negative (-) terminal on the battery.

12.

Disconnect the battery charger’s positive (+)

alligator clip or terminal clamp (red) from the

positive (+) terminal on the battery.

13.

Reﬁt the battery’s vent caps, if applicable. The

battery is now charged and ready for use.

TRANSPORTING THE GENERATOR

The generator should be stopped and both the

engine control switch and fuel cap vent should

be turned to the OFF position before transporting

the generator. Keep the unit level during transport

to minimise the possibility of fuel leakage or, if

practicable, drain out the fuel prior to transport as

described in Draining the Fuel.

If the generator has been operating, allow the unit

to cool down before loading it onto the transport

vehicle.

Use only the generator’s ﬁxed handle for lifting the

unit or attaching 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.

CAUTION

Do not up-end the generator or place

it either on its side or upside down.

Fuel or oil may leak out and create a

hazardous situation.

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Avoid accidentally starting the

generator during maintenance by

removing the spark plug boot from the

spark plug.

Allow hot components to cool to

the touch prior to performing any

maintenance procedure.

Internal pressure can build in the

engine crankcase while the engine

is running. Removing the oil ﬁll plug

while the engine is hot can cause hot

oil to spray out of the crankcase and

cause severe skin burns. Allow engine

oil to cool for several minutes before

removing the oil ﬁll plug.

Always perform maintenance in a

well-ventilated area. Fuel and fuel

vapours are extremely ﬂammable and

can ignite under certain conditions.

CAUTION

Avoid skin contact with engine oil

or fuel. Prolonged skin contact with

engine oil or fuel can be harmful.

Frequent and prolonged contact with

engine oil may cause skin cancer.

Take protective measures and wear

protective clothing and equipment.

Wash all exposed skin with soap and

water.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

WARNING

Failure to perform periodic

maintenance or not following

maintenance procedures can cause

the generator to malfunction and

could result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

Periodic maintenance intervals vary depending

on generator operating conditions. Operating

the generator under severe conditions, such

as sustained high-load, high-temperature, or

unusually wet or dusty environments, will require

more frequent periodic maintenance. The intervals

listed in the maintenance schedule should be

treated only as a general minimum guideline. Use

only genuine Westinghouse spare parts or others

as speciﬁed herein. Non-genuine spare parts may

be of inferior quality and cause damage to the

generator.

Following the maintenance schedule is essential to keep the generator in good operating condition. Table 1

provides a summary of routine inspection procedures and simple maintenance tasks that can be performed

by someone with mechanical proﬁciency using commonly available hand tools. Alternatively, an authorised

Westinghouse service dealer can carry out this work for a fee.

ENGINE OIL

Engine Oil Speciﬁcation

Use premium quality 4-stroke engine oil with an

API Service Classiﬁcation of at least SF. An SAE

multigrade viscosity of 10W-30 is suitable for use in

ambient temperatures of up to 40°C.

NEVER use 2-stroke engine oil either directly in the

engine or mixed with the fuel.

Mineral based, semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oils

may be used, but different types of oils should not

be mixed together. The engine oil supplied originally

with the generator is a mineral type with SAE

10W-30 viscosity.

7. Check oil level:

• Acceptable Oil Level – Oil surface is at

the bottom lip of the oil ﬁll plug opening

(see Figure 15).

• Low Oil Level – Oil surface is below the

bottom lip of the oil ﬁll plug opening. Add oil

as required. See Adding Engine Oil.

• Too High Oil Level - Oil ﬂows out when the oil

ﬁll plug is removed. Allow the excess oil to

drain out into a waste oil container.

8. Reinstall the oil ﬁll plug and maintenance access

cover.

oil ﬁll plug hole and slowly add engine oil to the

engine as shown in Figure 16. Check the oil level

periodically to avoid overﬁlling.

9. Continue to add oil until the oil is at the correct

level. See Checking Engine Oil. A simple visual

guide is to observe the oil level relative to the

bottom lip of the oil ﬁller neck in the engine

into which the oil ﬁll plug is screwed. If the oil

reaches the bottom lip, then it’s at the high level.

If the oil is above the bottom lip and ﬂows out of

the hole, then it’s too full and the excess must

be drained out.

should both be replaced.

Reinstall the spark arrestor, screen, clamp and

bolts.

REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER

Tools required – Phillips head screwdriver (supplied)

and a pair of pliers.

The fuel ﬁlter should be replaced after every 250

hours of use or one year. It may need to be changed

earlier if the generator is inadvertently ﬁlled with

contaminated fuel.

1. Stop the generator, if running.

Ensure that the engine control switch is in the

OFF position.

Turn the fuel cap vent to the OFF position.

Allow the generator to cool down until the

mufﬂer access cover is cool to the touch.

Move the generator to a ﬂat, level surface

preferably at a comfortable working height for

maintenance.

Remove the four screws afﬁxing the control

11. Turn both the engine control switch and fuel cap

vent to the OFF position.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE

VALVE CLEARANCE

NOTICE

The valve clearance should only be checked or

adjusted when the engine has cooled to ambient

temperature.

The engine’s valve clearance should be checked

and adjusted after every 250 hours of use or one

year.

Tools required – Spark plug socket wrench, 8 mm

socket wrench, 8 mm open-ended or ring spanner,

100 or 150 mm adjustable wrench and a set of feeler

gauges.

1. Stop the generator, if running.

Ensure that the engine control switch is in the

OFF position.

Turn the fuel cap vent to the OFF position.

Allow the generator to cool down until the

engine is at ambient temperature.

Move the generator to a ﬂat, level surface

preferably at a comfortable working height for

maintenance.

Remove the spark plug access cover, spark plug

boot and spark plug (see Figures 22, 23 and 24).

Remove the RHS maintenance access cover

(see Figures 12 and 13).

Remove the rocker arm cover (see Figure 29).

If the gasket remains wholly intact in situ and

there is no visible evidence of it being damaged

or leaking, it can be reused. If not, it will need to

be replaced during reassembly.

Pull the recoil starter handle slowly in small

increments until the engine is at top dead

center (TDC). Look through the spark plug hole

to observe that the piston is at the top of its

stroke and check by hand that both rocker arms

are loose with some play between each one

and its corresponding inlet or exhaust valve.

(See Figure 30).

10. Insert a feeler gauge between the rocker

arm and the valve stem to measure the valve

clearance. Refer to Table 4. The inlet valve

is that which is closest to the carburettor. If

adjustment is required, loosen the lock nut and

then turn the adjustment screw as required.

After verifying the correct clearance has been

set, maintain the position of the adjustment

screw by using the adjustable wrench and then

tighten the lock nut. If possible, use a torque

DANGER

Never operate the generator without

its control panel / front maintenance

access cover assembly properly

installed.

MAINTENANCE

12. Reinstall the spark plug, spark plug boot, spark

plug access cover and the RHS maintenance

access cover.

MAINTENANCE ACCESS

All routine scheduled maintenance can be

performed by removing the right-hand side

maintenance access cover (see Figures 12 and13),

the spark plug access cover (see Figure 22) or the

control panel / front maintenance cover assembly

(see Figure 28).

If necessary for non-routine repair, the left-hand side

maintenance access cover and the mufﬂer access

cover on the rear of the generator can also be

removed easily.

No tools are required to remove the LHS

maintenance access cover. Turn the LHS

maintenance access cover lock clockwise to the

unlock position. Then grip and pull away on the left-

hand side maintenance tab to open and remove the

cover (see Figure 31).

To remove the mufﬂer access cover, use a Phillips

head screwdriver (supplied) to remove the four

screws afﬁxing it to the casing. Then grip and pull

away on the bottom edge to open and remove the

cover (see Figure 32).

CLEANING THE GENERATOR

The generator should be kept clean and dry at

all times to ensure its reliable and safe operation.

This must be checked each time before using the

generator.

Use a damp cloth which has been soaked in a

mixture of household detergent and warm water and

then wrung out to remove excess liquid. Wipe the

exterior surfaces of the generator clean and then

repeat with a damp cloth which has been rinsed in

clean water and wrung out. Finish by wiping off all

moisture with a dry cloth. Do not use abrasive or

solvent cleaners.

A soft, non-metallic bristle brush or a vacuum

cleaner may be used to loosen and remove any

built-up dirt, mud or other debris. Low pressure

compressed air may also be used to blow off any

dirt or dust.

Make sure all of the ventilation grilles are clean of

any dirt or other debris otherwise the generator may

overheat and be damaged.

NOTICE

NEVER use a water hose or pressure washer to

clean the generator. Water may enter the fuel or

electric systems and damage the generator. The

risk of electric shock is also possible.

DRAINING THE FUEL

Occasionally it may be necessary to drain all the

fuel out of the generator. For example, to remove

contaminated or stale fuel or to prepare the

generator for transport or storage.

Tools required – Flat head screwdriver (supplied),

fuel siphon hand pump and fuel storage container.

1. Turn the fuel cap vent to the ON position.

Remove the fuel cap.

Clean the fuel strainer (see Fuel Strainer

Maintenance), but do not reinstall it.

Pour or siphon the contents of the fuel tank into

a fuel storage container (see Figure 33).

Remove the RHS maintenance access cover

(see Figures 12 and 13).

Locate the fuel drain hose connected to the

bottom of the carburettor ﬂoat bowl. Take note

of the hose’s stowed position. Then gently pull

the loose end of the hose up and out of the

generator casing.

Position the fuel storage container to collect the

remaining fuel discharged from the drain hose.

Turn the engine control switch to the ON

position.

Figure 31 – Removing the LHS Maintenance

Access Cover

Figure 32 – Removing the Mufﬂer Access

Cover

MAINTENANCE

9. Use the screwdriver to loosen the fuel drain

screw by turning it anti-clockwise and then

carefully drain the fuel out (see Figure 34). Take

care to wipe up any spills immediately.

10. When all the fuel has been drained out, tighten

the fuel drain screw. Move the storage container

and any fuel soaked rags away from the

generator. It is preferable to consume the fuel in

another engine-powered device straight away or

dispose of it properly rather than storing it for a

long time with fuel stabiliser for later reuse.

NOTICE

Never dispose of fuel or fuel contaminants by

dumping either of them into a sewer, on the

ground, or into groundwater or waterways.

Always be environmentally responsible. Follow

the guidelines of the governmental agencies for

proper disposal of hazardous materials. Consult

local authorities or reclamation facility.

11. Turn the engine control switch to the OFF

position.

12.

Re-stow the fuel drain hose back to its original

position routed downwards. Take care to

ensure that the hose is correctly routed and not

touching any potentially hot components.

13. Reinstall the maintenance access cover.

14.

Reinstall the fuel strainer.

15.

Reinstall the fuel cap.

16.

Turn the fuel cap vent to the OFF position.

LONG-TERM STORAGE

WARNING

Never store a generator with fuel

in the tank indoors or in a poorly

ventilated area where the fumes can

come into contact with an ignition

source such as: a pilot light of a stove,

water heater, clothes dryer or any

other gas appliance; or a spark from

an electric appliance.

NOTICE

Fuel stored for as little as 30 days can go bad,

causing gum, varnish and corrosive build-up

in fuel lines, fuel passages and the engine.

This corrosive build-up restricts the ﬂow of

fuel, preventing an engine from starting after a

prolonged period of storage.

The most commonly experienced faults with

portable generators are directly attributable to

contaminated or stale fuel. Such faults are not

covered by the generator’s warranty.

The generator should be run at least once per

month for 30 minutes under no less than one-third

load. If this is not possible, the generator should

be prepared for long-term storage as described

hereunder.

Proper care should be taken to prepare the

generator for any long-term storage. This will

protect the generator’s function and appearance,

and will make it easier to start when next required.

Storage Procedure for 1 – 3 Months

1. Clean the generator as outlined in Cleaning the

Generator.

Add a proprietary fuel stabiliser to the fuel

tank and then add fresh fuel up to the tank’s

maximum capacity (see Checking and

Adding Fuel). Follow the manufacturer’s

recommendation for correct amount of stabiliser

to add.

Start the generator and run it for 10 minutes to

ensure that treated fuel is distributed throughout

the engine’s fuel system.

4. Stop the generator (see Stopping the Generator).

5. Turn the engine control switch to the OFF

position if not already done in Step 4.

Figure 34 – Draining the Carburettor

Figure 33 – Emptying the Fuel Tank

MAINTENANCE

6. Turn the fuel cap vent to the OFF position.

Allow the unit to cool down and then move it to

a clean, dry place for storage.

Storage Procedure for Greater than

3 Months

1. Clean the generator as outlined in Cleaning the

Generator.

Drain the fuel (see Draining the Fuel).

Start the generator, if possible, and run the

engine without load until it stops when the last

remnants of fuel have been used. (See Starting

the Generator and Stopping the Generator).

Change the engine oil (see Changing Engine Oil).

Remove the spark plug (see Spark Plug

Maintenance) and pour a tablespoon of clean

engine oil into the spark plug opening. While

placing a clean rag over the spark plug opening,

slowly pull the recoil starter handle to rotate

the engine several times. This will distribute the

oil and protect the cylinder wall from corrosion

during storage.

Reinstall the spark plug (see Spark Plug

Maintenance).

Slowly pull the recoil starter handle until

resistance is felt, at which point the piston

is coming up on its compression stroke and

both the intake and exhaust valves are closed.

Storing the engine in this position will help to

prevent internal corrosion.

Move the unit to a clean, dry place for storage.

Removal from Storage

Follow the normal procedures for pre-operation

checks and starting (see Before Starting the

Generator).

Use only fresh fuel to re-ﬁll the tank, if necessary,

ather than re-using any old fuel.

If oil was inserted into the cylinder prior to storage,

the exhaust may smoke for a short while after

starting the generator; this is normal and will cease

within a minute or so of running time.

DISMANTLING AND DISPOSAL

There is no requirement for the generator to be

dismantled during normal operation other than for

major repair / overhaul or prior to ﬁnal disposal at

the end of its service life.

Dismantling should only be carried out by a

mechanically proﬁcient person with access to

proper tools or alternatively by your authorised

Westinghouse service dealer for a fee.

Before dismantling:

Stop the generator (see Stopping the Generator).

Drain the engine oil (see Changing Engine Oil).

Drain the fuel (see Draining the Fuel).

NOTICE

Do not pollute the environment by improper or

illegal disposal of the waste ﬂuids. Dispose of

these hazardous items only at an authorised

waste collection / recycling facility.

Do not pollute the environment by improper or

illegal disposal of the generator either as a whole

or in parts. Take the unwanted unit or components

to your local recycling centre instead. The

generator is made almost entirely of metals that

can be recycled.
