OPERATION

Transfer Switch Cord

The transfer switch cord, Part No. 210051, is an
optional accessory for the portable generator. It is used
to connect the 50-amp twist lock outlet of the generator
to the transfer switch. If your transfer switch does not
come with a transfer switch cord, order the cord from
Westpro Power.

TRANSFER SWITCH
CONNECTIONS
The Westinghouse generator is wired with the neutral
bonded to ground. If you are connecting your generator
to a transfer switch, the electrician must first determine
what type transfer switch is being used. Transfer
switches for this equipment are either two-pole or three-
pole types.
A two-pole transfer switch will not switch the neutral
from the generator to the service panel. That means
the generator will be grounded to the service panel. To
use the generator with two-pole transfer switches, the
electrician will need to change the neutral from bonded
to floating.
This is done by removing the jumper wire that connects
the alternator ground to the alternator neutral. Remove
the jumper wire and retighten the connections (see
Figure 12). Keep the jumper wire with the owner's
manual in case it is needed for future use when not
connected to a transfer switch.

LIFTING STRAP

The generator is equipped with a lifting strap. When
using the strap to lift the generator, make sure the
generator is lifted straight and level.
1. Before using the lifting strap, inspect the strap for worn
and frayed areas. Do not use the strap if it is damaged.
2. Insert the strap under both lift bars
3. Wrap one end of the strap over the top of the lift
bars and back under both lift bars.
4. Insert one end through the loop on the other end.
5. Attach the loose end of the lift strap to the lifting device.
6. Adjust the position of the strap to lift the generator
level.
7. Do not lift the generator if it is not level.
